=**Alliteration**=

Peter played football for the Patriots. This is an example of alliteration because both **P**eter and **p**layed begin with the letter **P.**

**Allusion**
This picture is an allusion because it shows **Barack Obama** with a cowbell which ia a reference to the Saturday Night Live skit from the 90s.

**Hyperbole**
Ralphie was so embarassed that he wanted to disappear. This is a hyperbole because Ralphie did not want to wear the costume, but his parents made him. It made him embarassed, but he did not literally want to disappear.

**Idiom**
Look what the cat dragged in. The album 'Look What The Cat Dragged In' by the band Poison is an idiom. The cat is not literally dragging in something. It just means 'look who showed up'.

**Irony**
This is irony because fire hydrants help put out fires, and in this picture, the fire hydrant is the thing that is on fire.

**Metaphor**
The whale is the king of the ocean. This is a metaphor because the whale is not actually an appointed king. Whales are just the biggest ocean creatures, therefore it seems like they would rule the ocean.

**Paradox**
I had the biggest shrimp in the whole restaurant. This is a paradox because shrimp means small, and I had the biggest shrimp.

**Personification**
In the movie //Cars//, the characters are cars that talk. This is personification because cars cannot actually talk in real life. Although it would be cool if they did.

**Satire**
The woman is pushing her child (across a street, mind you) While riding on a Segway. (parenting at its best) :) This is satirizing America because the obesity rate is rising, and this picture is a "prime example" as to why.

**Simile**
I am as lazy as a bear in hibernation This is a simile because I am a very lazy person, and it is comparing me to a bear in hibernation. When bears are hibernation they do not do much.

**Symbol**
The purple and the crown in this picture symbolize royalty. This is a symbol because they are symbolizing royalty together

ps: i could have come up with a better example but someone was telling me to hurry up :p
