Daily Devices: Cacophony.


Cacophony: is a device that uses words and phrases that suggest tough, coarse sounds within the phrase. These words give sentences a jarring and harsh sound that can create a disturbing off-putting atmosphere. It can also be used to imply a sudden or abrupt halt in your story.


Example: Her fingers rapped and pounded the counter, and her foot thumped against the floor in frustration.
