Answer 1

alliteration citation:Here are examples of alliteration taken from The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe:

Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary
...rare and radiant maiden

And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before

In this Poe poem, weak and weary; rare and radiant; silken and sad; deep and darkness; and wondering and fearing are all examples of alliteration.

allusion citation: There are many biblical allusions that are used in our everyday language and in writing.

Here are a few examples:

“He was a Good Samaritan yesterday when he helped the lady start her car.” This refers to the biblical story of the Good Samaritan.
“She turned the other cheek after she was cheated out of a promotion.” This comes from teaching of Jesus that you should not get revenge.

Answer 2

hyperbole citation: Flannery O’Connor was an essayist and author whose works often featured hyperbole. One of the most famous instances comes from Parker’s Back and reads, "And the skin on her face was thin and drawn tight like the skin on an onion and her eyes were gray and sharp like the points of two ice picks."
In the very popular book To Kill a Mockingbird the author Harper Lee wrote, "People moved slowly then. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County."

Answer 3

irony citation:
situational irony: Example: A person who claims to be a vegan and avoids meat but will eat a slice of pepperoni pizza because they are hungry. It may not make sense, but it is an illustration of irony.
Example: A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.
Example: An ambulance driver goes to a nightime bike accident scene and runs over the accident victim because the victim has crawled to the center of the road with their bike.
cosmic irony: Gambling. If you are playing blackjack chances are you will be up (making money) for awhile, and then just when you thought things were going well, you lose it all.
Dramatic irony: As an audience member, you realize that if a character walks into an abandoned warehouse, chances are a killer is waiting... but because you are a member of the audience you cannot disclose the information to the character.
In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Romeo finds Juliet in a drugged state and he thinks she is dead. He kills himself. When Juliet wakes up she finds Romeo dead and kills herself.
Socratic Irony: Later on in the lesson the teacher completely embarrasses the student, by illustrating how their points were both foolish and ignorant. : Another way in which Socratic irony is used is when a person pretends to be completely ignorant about a topic in an argument just to get an upper hand in the argument.
Sarcasm: A beautiful actress walked by a table of talent agents as one said “there goes a good time that was had by all.” The talent agent said the phrase referring to the young actress’ extracurricular activities with fellow talent agents. It was a derogatory statement, yet created with wit.
