    Assonance
    -Assonance is refrain of vowel sounds to create internal 
    rhyming within phrases or sentences, and together with 
    alliteration and consonance serves as one of the building
    blocks of verse.
    Assonance is found more often in verse than in prose. It
    is used in (mainly modern) English-language poetry, and
    is particularly important in Old French, Spanish and 
    Celtic languages.

     Diana would go to almost any…[page


    243,paragraph 4,first sentence]
     Her clothes were now..[page 254]
     She checked her mileometer..[page 254]
    Simile
    -a figure of speech which involves a direct comparison
    between two unlike things,usually with the words like or
    as.
    Even though similes and metaphors are both forms of
    comparison, similes allow the two ideas to remain distinct in
    spite of their similarities, whereas metaphors compare two
    things without using "like" or "as". For instance, a simile that
    compares a person with a bullet would go as follows: “John was
    a record-setting runner and as fast as a speeding bullet." A
    metaphor might read something like, "When John ran, he was a
    speeding bullet racing along the track."
    Some simile in the Never Stop On The
    Motorway are:
     When she drove up onto the street the
    stream of twilight traffic was just about
    keeping pace with the pinstriped
    pedestrians who,like worker ants,were
    hurrying towards the nearest hole in the
    ground.[page 242]
     She shook her fist at him and accelerated
    away,but he simply swung across behind
    her like an Olympic runner determined not
    to allow his rival to break clear.[page 249]
    Personification
     A figure of speech which gives the
    qualities of a person to an animal, an
    object, or an idea.
     Comparison which use to show
    something in an intirely new light, to
    communicate a certain feeling or
    attitude towards it and to control the
    way a reader perceives it.
     Some personification in the Never Stop
    On The Motorway are:
    1.her car crawled round Russel Square
    2.had been a bloody week
    3.her mind to drift
    4.removed a film of perspiration
