3 Character A character is a person or an animal that takes part in the action of a literary work.
4 Protagonist The protagonist is the main character in a literary work. NOT ALWAYS THE HERO!! Can you name some famous protagonists (good and bad) that are found in literature?
5
6 Antagonist The antagonist is a character or force who opposes the protagonist. NOT ALWAYS THE BAD GUY!! Can you name some famous antagonists (good and bad) that are found in literature?
7
8 Archetype An archetype is a typical example of a person or thing.
9 Dynamic Character A dynamic character is one who undergoes an inner change over time. The Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day.
10 Static Character A static character is one who does NOT undergo any inner changes over time. You re in my spot.
11 Foil A foil is a character who provides a contrast to the protagonist. Sometimes referred to as the sidekick. ~ think Patrick from Spongebob.
12 Setting Year 3015 The setting of a literary work is the time and place of the action. The setting includes all the details of a time and place the year, the time of day, even the weather. The place may be a specific country, state, region, community, neighborhood, building, institution, or home. In most stories, the setting serves as a backdrop a context in which the characters interact. The setting of a story often helps to create a particular mood, or feeling.
13 Plot Plot is the sequence of related events that make up a story, sometimes referred to as the story line. The plot usually begins with an exposition that introduces the setting and characters. The inciting cause occurs that increases the rising action until it reaches a high point of interest or suspense called the climax. The climax is followed by the falling action of the central conflict which leads to the resolution.
14 PLOT LINE Climax Exposition Resolution Inciting Cause
15 Exposition The exposition is the introductory material which gives the setting, creates the tone, and presents the characters and other facts necessary to understanding the story.
16 Exposition While hunting in the woods, Katniss and Gale are talking about how they could escape by leaving District 12 and live in the woods together.
17 Inciting Cause The inciting cause is the event or character that triggers the conflict. The conflict reaches a turning point. At this point, the opposing forces in the story meet and the conflict becomes most intense.
18 Inciting Cause On the day of the reaping, Katniss s sister Prim is drawn as the female tribute for District 12. Katniss then volunteers to take Prim s place in the Games.
19 Rising Action The rising action is a series of events that builds from the inciting cause and ends with the climax.
20 Rising Action Katniss and Peeta are dressed by Cinna and Portia for the parade of Tributes. They train for the Games with their mentor, Haymitch. Katniss earns an 11 out of 12 on her training assessment. Peeta gets a lower score.
21 Climax The climax is the result of the crisis. It is the high point of the story, the moment of the highest interest and greatest emotion. The resolution can now be predicted.
22 Climax Katniss and Peeta agree to kill themselves, but then the gamemaker announces that there will be two winners in the Hunger Games.
23 Falling Action The falling action is the events after the climax which close the story.
24 Falling Action Katniss and Peeta are rescued out of the Games arena and returned to the Capitol where they put on fake smiles and waved to the cameras.
25 Resolution The resolution concludes the action of the story by revealing or suggesting the outcome of the conflict.
26 Resolution Katniss and Peeta return home to District 12 to begin their lives again. that is, until Catching Fire begins. (mwahaha)
27 Conflict Conflict is the struggle between opposing forces in a story. There are two types of conflict: External and Internal
28 External Conflict External conflict exists when a character struggles against an outside force such as another character, nature, or society. Man vs. Man Man vs. Nature Man vs. Society
29 Internal Conflict Internal conflict exists within the mind of a character who is torn between different courses of action. Man vs. Himself
30 Characterization The methods a writer uses to communicate information about the characters in his/her stories. There are two types of characterization: 1. Direct 2. Indirect
31 Direct Characterization The author directly tells the reader about the character. Indirect Characterization The author drops clues about the character.
32 Using the picture to the left, give me some examples of Direct Characterization and Indirect Characterization to describe this scene.
33 Point of View The perspective, or vantage point, from which a story is told. There are five main types of point of view: 1. First Person 2. Second Person 3. Third Person Objective 4. Third Person Limited 5. Third Person Omniscient
34 First Person First Person The narrator is a character in the story who can reveal only personal thoughts and feelings and what he or she sees and is told by other characters. He cannot tell us the thoughts of other characters. I do not like them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.
35 Second Person Second Person The narrator is you. The story is told from the reader s point of view. Choose-Your-Own Adventure books are a good example of this style of writing. You can't stand it. With no other options though, you cram your earbuds back into your ears and turn your own music up as loud as it can go, hoping to drown out his music. It works, for now. You wonder just how long you can stand this though.
36 Third Person Objective Third Person Objective The narrator is an outsider who can report only what he or she sees and hears. A fly on the wall perspective. This narrator can tell us what is happening outside the main character, but he cannot tell us the thoughts of other characters. (A news reporter or article)
37 Third Person Objective Example Breaking news: Two people were injured Monday as a tornado outbreak hammered the Plains and Midwest. According to the National Weather Service, more than 30 tornadoes were reported in northeastern Colorado, southwestern Nebraska and Wyoming, with reports of damage caused by hail and strong winds. A reported tornado in Goshen County, Wyoming, caused damage to a home and injured one person. Another person was injured when a reported tornado damaged two homes, turned over tractors and damaged a shed in Sioux County, Nebraska.
38 Harry had taken up his place at wizard school, where he and his scar were famous but now the school year was over, and he was back with the Dursleys for the summer, back to being treated like a dog that had rolled in something smelly. The Dursleys hadn t even remembered that today happened to be Harry s twelfth birthday. Of course, his hopes hadn t been high Third Person Limited Third Person Limited The narrator is an outsider who sees into the mind of one of the characters.
39 Third Person Omniscient Third Person Omniscient The narrator is an all-knowing outsider who can enter the minds of more than one of the characters. Omniscient means all knowing or God-like. She was furious with him, but he didn t care.
40 Foreshadowing An author s use of hints or clues as to what might happen later in the story. It builds suspense and prepares the reader for what is to come.
41 Flashback Occurs when the author narrates an event that took place before the current time of the story. The movie Titanic is almost entirely a flashback.
42 Flashback cont d What are some other films that contain flashbacks to help tell the story?
43 Verbal Irony Verbal: The contrast between what is said and what is meant or expected. Sarcasm is a great example of verbal irony. When mother finds Madelyn on Snapchat yet again instead of doing her vocabulary, she says, Looks like you re doing some serious studying there kiddo. How about we take a little time out from working so hard and do some English, mmkay?
44 Situational Irony Situational: The contrast between what happens and what is expected to happen. You wouldn t expect an escalator on the way up to a fitness place.
45 Dramatic Irony Dramatic: Occurs when the audience knows more than the characters do. An example of dramatic irony is when Romeo finds Juliet in a drugged sleep, he assumes her to be dead and kills himself. Upon awakening to find her dead lover beside her, Juliet then kills herself.
46 Tone The author s attitude toward a subject.
47 Style Style is the distinctive way in which an author uses language. Word choice, phrasing, sentence length, tone, dialogue, purpose, and attitude toward the audience and subject can all contribute to an author s writing style.
48 J.K. Rowling s writing style consisted of pen and paper and lots of organization! Style
49 MOOD The choice of settings, objects, details, images, and words all contribute towards creating a specific mood. To set the mood, you wouldn t hear Lose Yourself during a church service or Amazing Grace at a football game.
50 SYMBOLISM A person, place, or object that has a meaning other than the obvious. The spartan represents being a warrior, fierceness, determination, integrity, strength, etc.
51 Theme The main idea or underlying meaning of a literary work. May be stated directly or indirectly.
52 Imagery Language that appeals to the senses. If you feel tired and hopeless, how can you show someone this instead of just telling them? Well I took a walk around the world to ease my troubled mind I left my body lying somewhere in the sands of time I watched the world float to the dark side of the moon I feel there s nothing I can do -- "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down
53 Figurative Language Denotation Simile Alliteration Onomatopoeia Personification Oxymoron Allusion Genre Connotation Metaphor Hyperbole Idiom Euphemism Pun Paradox
54 Figures of Speech An expression that uses language in a non-literal way. Figurative language is not meant to be taken literally. Figurative language is used to state ideas in vivid and imaginative ways.
55 Simile A Simile is a figure of speech that compares seemingly unlike things using the words like or as. Maroon 5: I got the moves like Jagger
56 Metaphor A Metaphor is a type of speech that compares or equates two or more things that have something in common. A metaphor does NOT use like or as. Gym Class Heroes: My heart (is) a stereo.
57 Alliteration Alliteration is the repetition of sounds, most often consonant sounds, at the beginning of words. Alliteration gives emphasis to words. Example: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
58 Personification Personification is a figure of speech in which an animal, object, force of nature, or idea is given human qualities or characteristics. Example: Tears began to fall from the dark clouds.
59 Onomatopoeia The use of words that mimic the sounds they make.

61 Idiom An expression that means something different than what it really says. A chip on your shoulder Back seat driver Kick the bucket Get over it Break a leg
62 Euphemism A polite way to say something that might be more offensive. Saying restroom instead of toilet. Saying full-figured instead of fat. Saying economically disadvantaged instead of poor.
63 Oxymoron An Oxymoron is a figure of speech that is a combination of seemingly contradictory words. Examples: Civil War Pretty ugly Practice test Friendly fire Uninvited guests Jumbo shrimp Icy hot Least favorite Second best Mean smile
64 Pun A deliberate confusion of similar words or phrases. A play on words. I couldn't quite remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me. Police were called to a day care where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.
65 Denotation The actual meaning of a word. The Dictionary Definition
66 Connotation The thoughts, feelings, and images associated with a word. For example, what images come to your mind when you hear the word school? (This will be different for each person.)

Your Love by Nicki Minaj I mean he was Adam, I think I was Eve but my vision ends with an apple on the tree.
