1 Literary Terms Group Project Presented by: Kayleigh Bunce, Hannah Cornwell, Emily Gaut, and Lauren Tigue
2 Satire:the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues To be TIRED of [SA] CIETY due to its stupidity in the realm of politics or other social issues == SA-TIRED Satire is used in today s society through TV shows such as: The Colbert Report, The Daily Show, and Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Hannah
3 Scan or Scansion: the process of analyzing a poem s meter Can you find the poem s meter? Yes! We! SCAN! --Scan, Scansion When you scan a barcode at the supermarket, the machine analyzes it and finds the item or price it correlates to within its system Hannah
4 Sentimentalism:the excessive expression of feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia in behavior, writing, or speech When so many things are occurring at once and the only way to get through it is crying, you have a [Senti] mental breakdown from all the excessive emotions ==Sentimentalism when Lori Loughlin s face pops up on your television screen and the song Arms of an Angel begins to play as pictures and videos of the saddest-looking animals ever flash by your eyes as a single tear streams down your face. That is an EXCESSIVE EXPRESSION OF FEELINGS IN BEHAVIOR LORI. SEE A THERAPIST YOU SENTIMENTALIST. Hannah
5 Simile: a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid When someone compares you to a summer s day and you get all giddy, excited, and you can t help but be all [si]mile ==Simile Simile is used everyday in education as teachers compare difficult concepts to easier ones in hopes of a better understanding Hannah
6 Slowing Devices: Literary devices that help to slow the tempo of the author s writing When the ellipses hits you too hard and, You feel like you re reading in SLOW motion == Slowing Devices People use slowing devices in speech to create emotional effect or to ensure that the information being portrayed is well understood Hannah
7 Kayleigh Suspense: a device invoking a state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen. If someone is hanging off a cliff and is [Suspen] ded, you feel the Suspense When authors or movie directors want their audience to stay engaged, they create suspenseful moments so that nobody wants to stop watching
8 Synecdoche: a figure of speech in which a term for a part of something refers to the whole of something or vice versa Kenickie (Sounds similer to Synecdoche) from Grease, because he is a part of the T-Birds, and to refer to him is to refer to his whole squad (in the 50 s culture), but he is not the technical squad, only part of it Example: The word glasses refers to spectacles, because glasses are part of the spectacles, but not the technical name Not to be confused with Mytotomy Used in slang or shorthand Kayleigh
9 Synthesia -- Anesthesia When you get dental Anesthesia, numbs the feelng of the mouth, but it also affects the speech of the subject and the hearing of those around them (different senses) Actions speak louder than words -- Actions are seeen, not spoke She spoke in honeyed tones -- tones are heard, not tasted Used by authors to help readers feel the sensations and accuretly understand actions Kayleigh Synesthesia: the production of a sense impression relating to one sense or part of the body by stimulation of another sense or part of the body
10 The bass singers sat, and wondered what it would be like to be the tenor lead: the subject of all attention -- Like the male lead in musicals often showcase a tenor range, the tenor is a metaphor is the main subject John Stamos is such a Heathcliff In this Metaphor, Stamos is the Tenor and Heathcliff is the Vehicle Used in metaphors to convey emotional grasp Kayleigh Tenor: In a metaphor, the tenor is the subject. In other words, the tenor is what's getting reimagined by the other part of the metaphor (the vehicle)
11 Emily Euphony: pleasing to the ears, pleasant sounding When something is funny, it s pleasing to your ears, and when someone is funny, you tell them: Eu-Phony Used by authors to create a feeling of easiness and harmony. Usually creates a steady flow and sometimes a melodious feeling // nursery rhymes: Twinkle twinkle little star / how i wonder what you are / up above the world so high / like a diamond in the sky
12 Exemplum: a short tale or anecdote that is used to describe a moral point of a story. Usually used in fables and legends. An EXEM-ple of this word is a PLUM is the best fruit. This is an important moral. It s used in stories to show certain morals. // in the pardoner s tale of canterbury tales, the three men die as a result of their greed. This story is used to portray the moral of greed leads to death Emily
13 Eye-rhyme: when two words look like they should rhyme but they don t Your EYE thinks it Rhymes It is used to keep up a rhyme scheme. It is primarily used in poetry to maintain a consistent rhyme scheme but also bring attention to that particular line // lasagne and champagne Emily
14 Emily Free verse: Poem with no definitive rhyme or meter The VERSE is FREE because it does not have to follow any rules IT is commonly used in modern poetry to portray a realistic tone. Real life does not have rhyme or meter and so neither do free verse // A noiseless patient spider, / I mark'd where on a little promontory it stood isolated, / Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding - A Noiseless Patient Spider by Walt Whitman
15 Emily HYperbole: Exaggeration for emphasis A situation is HYPER, it is exaggerated. It s used to bring emphasis to certain points. It s used in both literature and real life. // I m so hungry I could eat a horse / I ve told you a million times / I m literally dying
16 Lauren Carpe Diem: Literal Latin Translation - Seize the Day Life is short, so live it to the fullest Carpe Diem Crap-E- Diem Crap I m Dying better live it up while i can, and Seize the Day Edna Pontellier has a Carpe Diem Philosophy, knowing that the life she wanted was not one she could every really have or sustain she lived her opulent life to the fullest for as long as she could
17 Lauren Litotes: from the Greek for simple, using understatement/double negatives to make a point Opposite of Hyperbole to accomplish the same thing Litotes sounds like little and it works by making little of things to show their significance Saying something is No small Feet means it was difficult Saying something is A tale of No Insignificance means it was very important
18 Lauren Stasis: Situation where there is no progress, static Stasis is only two letters off from Static and they are synonyms In Jane Eyre the happy stasis Jane finds herself in between Mr. Rochester s confession of his love for her and their disastrous almost wedding, stasis is used to build tension as the reader knows that things can not end happily in the book this early
19 Lauren Negative Imperative: command to not do something It is imperative that YOU DO NOT DO THIS!!! Dr. Faustus knows that it is Imperative to NOT sell his soul and practice the dark arts If he wants to go to heaven, but he does it anyway, highlighting the characterization of Faustus as a rebellious and Narcisistic
