Definition: Onomatopoeias are words that sound like the objects they name or the sound an objects makes.
Example: This poem was written by a 4 year old by the way
Function: An onomatopoeia gives a better view in to the item or sound you are describing. For example when you think of a mechanical number counter you often call it a clicker because thats what sound it makes. Like when you get baffled and say "where is my clicker i need it to count the flock of sheep"
Cafeteria
Boom!
Went the food
trays.
Clap! Clap!
Goes the teacher.
Rip!
Went the
plastic bag.
Munch! Munch!
Go the students.
Slurp!!!
Went the straws.
Whisper
Is what half the kids
in the room
are doing.
Crunch!
Crunch!
go
the candy bars.

The words crunch crunch are onomatopoeias because they are words but they are also the sound of what the candy bar is making. Slurp is also an onomatopoeia because that is what the sounds straws make especially after you are out of your beverage..
