Onomatopoeia is when you say something that means exactly what it sounds like. An example of that would be “buzz” or “zip.” Another example is in this song, “Boom Boom Pow” by The Black Eyed Peas. It is in these lyrics, “…gotta get boom boom boom…” In this song, there are more examples onomatopoeia, but it is just the same as the one I listed earlier. There is one more, though. Instead of saying, “…gotta get that boom boom boom,” it says, “…gotta get that boom boom pow.” If you would like to listen to this song that has onomatopoeia here is the link to listen to “Boom Boom Pow”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4m48GqaOz90
