Simile:

  • Back, he spurred like a madman, shrieking a curse to the sky

Alliteration:

  • He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there

Onomatopoeia:

  • He whistled a tune to the window
  • And he tapped with his w**p on the shutters
  • TLOT-TLOT in the frosty silence, ... TLOT-TLOT in the echoing night!
