Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia
Definition: Words incorporated into a literary piece by imitating the sounds they are supposed to describe.

Example: In comic books, the authors will use BAM! and POW! in their story to emphasize fights.

Significance: Using sounds can also you feel like your're part of a story because you can hear it and sometimes see it. I think of it as a form of imagery.
