Used right, they can give your writing a fresh angle, apart from helping you compare, emphasize or clarify specific thoughts. Make sure you know each type so that you may employ them in your own work.
Metaphor. Metaphors is a figure of speech expressed by comparing two things, saying that one is the other. It is a comparison of two things that do not use "like" or "as." It's highly effective because of the very indirect manner by which it communicates its message, provided the rest of your writing is capably put together (with the help of a complete writing software).
Simile. Like metaphors, they allow you to compare unlike things. However, they use a more traditional method, employing comparisons that use connectors, such as "like" and "as."
Synecdoche. This type of figurative Language uses a part of something to refer to the whole, specify a class of thing used to refer a larger or more general class. Examples include referring to a businessman as a "suit," to money as "paper" and your car as "wheels."
Hyperbole. Frequently employed in humorous writing, this entails exaggerating or overstating a fact for effect or used to evoked strong feelings or impressions. For an example, check out all the "Yo' mamma" jokes.
Pun. Puns are play on words and is the device frequently used for knock-knock jokes.
Personification. In this form of figurative Language, an abstract object or concept is represented as a person, such as when a singer refers to his "car" as a "she."
