An incredible story by
M.F.Arnold
One day a man behaving like a dog (Simile) met a sparkling star
(metaphor). She was packing pennies in packets for the pockets
of people in poor places (alliteration).
As she was talking and walking she was unaware
of his stalking (assonance). Her
goodness was to him as big as a mountain
(hyperbole) and he felt small. His inner-self had suffered a civil war (oxymoron and pun), when he saw such beauty, because he recognised his inner
ugliness. She turned around and said: ‘Are you looking for someone?” (irony
– he is looking at her and
for her). He looked at her as if she was a crown (Metonymy). “A
mouse (metaphor) I am in your
presence, my dear.” Her cat smiled (personification). The clatter
(onomatopoeia) of his teeth showed
his nervousness. She calmly told him: “Ignorance
is strength (paradox) when one
is open to knowledge”. This was to him like a
noisy atomic blast (understatement).
He realised that she saw through him. He knew that he felt her status with his
first glance and he knew that change for him is now instantaneous. As he
realised that he had fallen for her, he
dropped dead (pun). He
might not have known the ABC’s
(synecdoche) of a good life. He
might have lived like a brother of the
bad, but he did not die with them like a fool (antithesis). He passed away (euphemism) a valiant gentleman.
