I have learnt about basic and advanced literary devices, and are common structures used in writing.
Some of the basic literary devices are Simile, personification and rhythm.
Simile is a comparison between two distinctly different things, indicated by the use of 'like' and 'as'. Personification is the attribution of human beings to inanimate objects, and rhythm is the beat of stresses when reading a passage or poem.
Examples of advanced literary devices are oxymoron, paradox and hyperbole.
Oxymoron is a single image or idea, made up of contradictory or incongruent images. Paradox is a statement which seems self-contradictory, but turns out to make good sense, and hyperbole is a deliberate exaggeration to emphasize a point of feelings.
