    Default Literary Devices

    If you could be a literary device, which would you be?

    I think I would be the elipsis and vanish unnoticed in a crowd.

    If you could invent a literary device, what would it be?

    We invented the 'cinnadoshay' which is where an author characterizes a human with inhuman qualities. How it differs from a metaphor or simile I'm not sure, but it does!

    (the spelling is a joke because we have been taught so many very different ways to pronounce synedoche in our literary careers)

    Is a plot hole a literary device? I am very much one of those.

    I'll go with diction. If punctuation counts as a literary device, I'm definitely a semicolon.

    I would be musical devices, such as alliteration and consonance...
    And if i could make up my own literary device it would be "Two-way metaphor" in which the idea of a person is presented two different ways through one way of speaking...essentially a whole sotry of double entandra
    Beware of my look a like!

    I think I want to be the climax, and it's too easy so I won't say anything else

    Edit: If that counts as one at all.
