4 SYNONYM & ANTONYM SYNONYM A WORD HAVING THE SAME OR NEARLY THE SAME MEANING AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE SAD, BITTERSWEET, DOLEFUL, MOURNFUL, HEAVY-HEARTED, MELANCHOLIC, PENSIVE, WISTFUL ANTONYM A WORD OPPOSITE IN MEANING TO ANOTHER EXAMPLE SAD VS. GLAD
5 SIMILE A COMPARISON OF TWO THINGS USING LIKE OR AS EXAMPLE: COMMON CONTEMPORARY SIMILES ARE RUNNING LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL AND WORKING NONSTOP AS IF POSSESSED. PERHAPS THE BEST KNOWN SIMILE IN ENGLISH POETRY IS ROBERT BURNS S LINE: MY LOVE IS LIKE A RED, RED ROSE.
6 METAPHOR A DIRECT COMPARISON OF TWO UNLIKE THINGS A TYPE OF FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE IN WHICH A STATEMENT IS MADE THAT SAYS THAT ONE THING IS SOMETHING ELSE BUT, LITERALLY, IT IS NOT. EXAMPLE: THE CLASSROOM WAS A ZOO.
7 PERSONIFICATION GIVING HUMAN TRAITS TO ANIMALS, IDEAS, OR INANIMATE OBJECTS EXAMPLE: THE STARS DANCED PLAYFULLY IN THE MOONLIT SKY.
8 HYPERBOLE AN EXTRAVAGANT EXAGGERATION. A FIGURE OF SPEECH THAT IS A GROSSLY EXAGGERATED DESCRIPTION OR STATEMENT. IN LITERATURE, SUCH EXAGGERATION IS USED FOR EMPHASIS OR VIVID DESCRIPTIONS. EXAMPLE: I HAD SO MUCH HOMEWORK, I NEEDED A PICKUP TRUCK TO CARRY ALL MY BOOKS HOME!
9 ALLITERATION REPETITION OF AN INITIAL SOUND IN TWO OR MORE WORDS OF A PHRASE, LINE, OR SENTENCE. IT IS USUALLY A CONSONANT AND MARKS THE STRESSED SYLLABLES IN A LINE OF POETRY OR PROSE. EXAMPLE: MICKEY MOUSE AND DONALD DUCK
10 IRONY SOMETHING HUMOROUS BASED ON CONTRADICTION
11 DRAMATIC IRONY THE AUDIENCE OR READER KNOWS SOMETHING IMPORTANT THAT A CHARACTER DOES NOT KNOW
12 THE CONTRAST BETWEEN WHAT A READER OR CHARACTER EXPECTS AND WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS FIRE STATION BURNING SITUATIONAL IRONY
13 VERBAL IRONY OCCURS WHEN A WRITER OR CHARACTER SAYS ONE THING BUT MEANS ANOTHER EXAMPLE: I AM SO SAD
14 TONE THIS IS THE WRITER'S ATTITUDE TOWARD THE MATERIAL AND/OR READERS. IT MAY BE PLAYFUL, FORMAL, INTIMATE, ANGRY, SERIOUS, IRONIC, OUTRAGED, BAFFLED, TENDER, SERENE, DEPRESSED, ETC.
15 MOOD THE ATMOSPHERE THAT PERVADES A LITERARY WORK WITH THE INTENTION OF EVOKING A CERTAIN EMOTION OR FEELING FROM THE AUDIENCE. IN DRAMA, MOOD MAY BE CREATED BY SETS AND MUSIC AS WELL AS WORDS; IN POETRY AND PROSE, MOOD MAY BE CREATED BY A COMBINATION OF SUCH ELEMENTS AS SETTING, VOICE, TONE AND THEME. THE MOODS EVOKED BY THE MORE POPULAR SHORT STORIES OF EDGAR ALLEN POE, FOR EXAMPLE, TEND TO BE GLOOMY, HORRIFIC, AND DESPERATE.
16 LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE LITERAL LANGUAGE REFERS TO WORDS THAT DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THEIR DEFINED MEANING. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE REFERS TO WORDS, AND GROUPS OF WORDS, THAT EXAGGERATE OR ALTER THE USUAL MEANINGS OF THE COMPONENT WORDS. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE MAY INVOLVE ANALOGY TO SIMILAR CONCEPTS OR OTHER CONTEXTS, AND MAY INVOLVE EXAGGERATIONS.
17 THEME THE GENERAL IDEA OR INSIGHT ABOUT LIFE THAT A WRITER WISHES TO EXPRESS. ALL OF THE ELEMENTS OF LITERARY TERMS CONTRIBUTE TO THEME. A SIMPLE THEME CAN OFTEN BE STATED IN A SINGLE SENTENCE.
18 ASSONANCE & CONSONANCE ASSONANCE - THE REPETITION OF VOWEL SOUNDS, USUALLY WITHIN WORDS. CONSONANCE - REPEATING THE FINAL CONSONANT SOUNDS OF WORDS. WRITERS USUALLY FOCUS ON THE ACCENTED SYLLABLES OR THE MORE IMPORTANT WORDS TO USE IN THIS TECHNIQUE. IN THIS EXCERPT FROM THE POEM THE RAVEN, NOTE THE UR SOUND USED IN ASSONANCE, THE T SOUND USED IN CONSONANCE: AND THE SILKEN SAD UNCERTAIN RUSTLING OF EACH PURPLE CURTAIN THRILLED ME - FILLED ME WITH FANTASTIC TERRORS NEVER FELT BEFORE; SO THAT NOW, TO STILL THE BEATING OF MY HEART, I STOOD REPEATING` 'TIS SOME VISITOR ENTREATING ENTRANCE AT MY CHAMBER DOOR - SOME LATE VISITOR ENTREATING ENTRANCE AT MY CHAMBER DOOR; - THIS IT IS, AND NOTHING MORE,'
19 END RHYME IN POETRY, A RHYME THAT OCCURS IN THE LAST SYLLABLES OF VERSES. EXAMPLE: ROBERT FROST S STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING : WHOSE WOODS THESE ARE I THINK I KNOW, HIS HOUSE IS IN THE VILLAGE, THOUGH; HE WILL NOT SEE ME STOPPING HERE TO WATCH HIS WOODS FILL UP WITH SNOW.
20 INTERNAL RHYME THE RHYMING OF WORDS WITHIN A LINE OF POETRY, NOT JUST AT THE END OF THE LINES. EXAMPLES OF INTERNAL RHYME: JACK SPRATT COULD EAT NO FAT THE CAT SAT ON THE MAT OLD MOTHER HUBBARD WENT TO THE CUPBOARD SIMPLE SIMON MET A PIE MAN THE CRAZY MOOSE IS LOOSE IN THE CABOOSE
21 DENOTATION DENOTATION REFERS TO THE LITERAL MEANING OF A WORD, THE "DICTIONARY DEFINITION." FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LOOK UP THE WORD SNAKE IN A DICTIONARY, YOU WILL DISCOVER THAT ONE OF ITS DENOTATIVE MEANINGS IS "ANY OF NUMEROUS SCALY, LEGLESS, SOMETIMES VENOMOUS REPTILES HAVING A LONG, TAPERING, CYLINDRICAL BODY AND FOUND IN MOST TROPICAL AND TEMPERATE REGIONS."
22 CONNOTATION CONNOTATION, ON THE OTHER HAND, REFERS TO THE ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE CONNECTED TO A CERTAIN WORD OR THE EMOTIONAL SUGGESTIONS RELATED TO THAT WORD. THE CONNOTATIVE MEANINGS OF A WORD EXIST TOGETHER WITH THE DENOTATIVE MEANINGS. THE CONNOTATIONS FOR THE WORD SNAKE COULD INCLUDE EVIL OR DANGER.
23 AUTHOR S PURPOSE AN AUTHOR WRITES FOR MANY REASONS. AN AUTHOR MAY GIVE YOU FACTS OR TRUE INFORMATION ABOUT A SUBJECT. IF SO, THEY ARE WRITING TO INFORM. SOME AUTHORS WRITE FICTION STORIES OR STORIES THAT ARE NOT TRUE. THEY WRITE THESE STORIES TO ENTERTAIN YOU. OTHER AUTHORS MAY WRITE TO PERSUADE OR TO TRY TO GET YOU TO DO SOMETHING.
24 BOOK PASS! We have hundreds of new books! Which one will you read? You will each grab a book from the cart that looks interesting! Read the front and back covers and the first few pages.
