Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

 Language
The Language of Creative Writing

 Imagery- the use of figurative language in such a way that it appeals to the readers’ physical senses.

 Figures of Speech

The following are the most commonly used figures of speech which aid writers in developing mental
images.

1. Simile – is used for the comparison of two essentially unlike things, often in a phrase.
2. Metaphor – is the use of a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing as that of another,
thus making an implicit and direct comparison.
3. Personification – endows human qualities to inanimate objects or abstract ideas.
4. Hyperbole – is more commonly known as extreme exaggeration.
5. Onomatopoeia – also known as the sound word.
6. Apostrophe – is directly addressing an absent/ imaginary person or a personified abstraction, as
a living entity.
7. Metonymy – replaces one word or phrase for another, usually as a symbol with which it is
closely associated.
8. Oxymoron – uses contradictory terms which are combined to make meaning.
9. Irony – is an expression which is the opposite of what is meant.
10. Paradox – is a figure of speech which contradicts itself in the same sentence.

 Diction – the selection of the most appropriate word you can use for your written work.

A good use of diction is said to be achieved when the following conditions are met by the author or
writer:

a. The right words were chosen for what is written about

b. The words chosen are appropriate for the theme and tone of the composition
c. The words used can be easily understood by the readers

 Sample works of well-known local and foreign writers

o Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

by Lewis Carroll

o The Road Not Taken

by Robert Frost

o The Eagle
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
