Literary Devices

• Style and poetry notes.
• Katherine Mansfield uses lots of literary devices
  such as Similies and metaphors. She uses similies
  to compare two things, making it easier to
  understand. She does that by using the words
  like or as. For example Two black dressing
  growns and two pairs of black woolly slippers,
  creeping off to the bathroom like black cats.
• Katherine Mansfield creates a sitable atmosphere
  to undestand by using litaray devices.
