In the videos:

Metaphor: It compares two things without using “like” or “as.”

Example: “Time is a thief.” (It pretends time steals, to show time passes quickly.)

Oxymoron: It puts two opposite words together.

Example: “Bittersweet.” (Something is both happy and sad at the same time.)

Not in the videos:

Metonymy: when you refer to something by naming something closely related rather than the thing itself.

Example: “The White House issued a statement.” (Here “The White House” stands for the people in power, not the building.)

Synecdoche: A literary device where a part represents the whole, or the whole represents a part.

Example: “All hands on deck.”

Here, “hands” means the whole sailors, not just their hands.
