Onomatopoeia creates a sound effect that mimics the thing described.

~Pronunciation~

~Imitates Sound~
An onomatopoetic word sounds like the noise to which you are referring.

What are some situations when you could use -CRUNCH- in your writing?

In other words: what makes a crunch noise?

Snow crunches under your feet.
Cereal crunches in your mouth.
Other examples?

What was that?

Did you hear that?
By a show of hands, how many of you have eaten Rice Krispies or Rice Krispie Treats?

Snap, Crackle, and Pop are the characters that have names based on the sounds you can hear when you pour your milk into your Rice Krispie cereal.

DRAMATIC EFFECT

This example of Onomatopoeia is from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip by Bill Watterson.

In this example, Calvin is being very dramatic about having to try the vegetables his mother cooked for dinner.
