Your teachers might ask you to use evaluative adjectives for your literary terms, so that you describe an image as distinctive or a metaphor as powerful. You can include these in your writing, although it would be more accurate to use these descriptors for the effects and the impact on readers. And you should use adjectives to describe voice and tone, perspective and point of view, and describe the impacts of literary devices as subtle or blatant, for example.
More genuinely, you can elevate your writing by turning a literary device from a noun to an advective and using a double-barreled literary term. This adds sophistication to your writing. Your marker will be impressed.
It looks like this:
- Alliterative parallel construction
- Ironic foreshadowing
- Metaphorical metonymy
- Symbolic synecdoche
- Ironic euphemism
- Synesthetic oxymoron
- Understated metaphor
- Poetic synesthesia
- Metaphorical paradox
- Juxtaposed anaphora
- Symbolic metonymy
- Paradoxical allegory
- Hyperbolic simile
- Metaphorical irony
- Allusive symbolism
- Juxtaposed personification
- Dissonant anaphora
- Surreal synesthesia
