i don't know what personificatio, onamatopoeia,alliteration,literal language,and narrative poetry is ?
Personification is when you give a non living thing human qualities. Onamanopea is making sound effects such as, "BOOM!", alliteration is using many words that start with the same letter "Wacky Wednesday", literal language is when you mean wat you say. Like... "You can go and lick the dirt" it could mean 2 things, that you do not care or that they can literally lick the dirt! :)I have no clue wat narrative poetry is, sorry.

I can help explain each of these literary terms to you:
1. Personification: Personification is a figure of speech that gives human characteristics or qualities to non-living objects or animals. In your example, "drowned leaves" would be a personification because leaves cannot literally drown. It is giving the leaves human-like characteristics by saying they are drowning.
2. Onomatopoeia: Onomatopoeia is a word or a group of words that imitates the sound it is describing. For example, "boom" is an example of onomatopoeia because it sounds like the actual sound of an explosion.
3. Alliteration: Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words. It is often used to create a musical or rhythmic effect. For example, "Wacky Wednesday" is an example of alliteration because both words start with the same "w" sound.
4. Literal language: Literal language is referring to words that mean exactly what they say. It is the opposite of figurative language, which uses words or expressions with a different meaning than the literal interpretation. In your example, "You can go and lick the dirt," it is a literal language because it means exactly what it says, that someone can actually lick the dirt.
5. Narrative poetry: Narrative poetry is a form of poetry that tells a story. It follows a plot and often includes characters, setting, and conflict. Narrative poetry is different from other forms of poetry because it focuses on telling a story rather than expressing personal emotions or ideas.
I hope this helps you understand these literary terms. Let me know if you have any further questions!
