You must provide a sentence to determine the technique/s and the context in which they are being employed.

 

[SanjoyM]

"Gaped in awe" - kinaesthetic imagery to a certain extent

 

[theloorloor]

they are quotes so i cant give you a sentence

 

[theloorloor]

could you explain this kinaesthetic imagery

 

[Absolutezero]

For 'silent shock' you could state alliteration. Also, onomatopoeia for 'shock'

 

[Timske]

Silent shock - sibilance

 

[nightweaver066]

Sibilance for silent shock.

The term is just 'onomatopoeia', not 'an onomatopoeia'. And yes it is, much like buzz and bang are.

Please have an explanation.

I believe that you could class the following as:

1. "anthropomorphism"-- giving human qualities of strength and pulverising to the inanimate object of smoke.

2. "kinaesthetic imagery"

3. "Alliteration"



Also, this may help you in the future to identify other techniques--- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_technique

'Silent shock' is an use of sibilants (alliteration with the letter S)

 

[Absolutezero]

'Silent shock' is an use of sibilants (alliteration with the letter S)

Yes, I came up with other techniques for it, but this is definitely one as well.


Also, remember, it's not enough to just state the technique in an essay, but you have to explain what the effect of that technique is.

Sibilance is often employed to emphasize an idea
