Apostrophe:
Apostrophe is a figure of speech by using which a writer or speaker addresses an absent/dead person as if he/she were present, or an inanimate object or idea as if it were a living thing and listening to him/her (speaker).
Examples:
"O wild West Wind"
"O, my cell phone, you were so dear to me."

Examples:
"The sun came just meters away from the earth."
"She would conquer the entire universe with her smile"

"He is as brave as a lion"
"Life is like a dream"
Litotes:
It is an understatement in which a positive statement is made by negating its opposite. Or use of double negatives to make a positive statement.
Examples:
"It was not one of my best days" to mean It was one of my bad days."
"The books was not bad" to mean the book was good."
