1 Literary Elements and Language Terms Set #5 ALL literary terms that we have covered this year are fair game. These are merely the new batch that we are adding to our repertoire for this novel!
2 English got me like
3 Quick Review: Antithesis Anaphora Asyndeton Chiasmus Epistrophe Juxtaposition Oxymoron Paradox Polysyndeton Parallelism Synecdoche
4 Allegory A literary work in which characters, objects, or actions represent abstractions (the characters, objects, etc. are equated with meanings that lie outside the text). A sustained metaphor continued through whole sentences or even through a whole discourse. E.g. Animal Farm, The Crucible
5 An example of allegory: Superman, Spiderman, and Batman are all allegorical representations of the everyman. The evils they fight are the temptations to greed, to violence and to behavior that will in other ways disrupt society. Superheroes stand as both the everyman and the guardian against evil.
6 Bathos Greek - "depth ; Not to be confused with pathos, bathos is a descent in literature in which a poet or writer--striving too hard to be passionate or elevated--falls into trivial or stupid imagery, phrasing, or ideas. One of the most common types of bathos is the humorous arrangement of items so that the listed items descend from grandiosity to absurdity. Example: "In the United States, Osama bin Laden was wanted for conspiracy, murder, terrorism, and unpaid parking tickets. MARY: John once we had something that was pure, and wonderful, and good. What s happened to it? JOHN: You spent it all.
7 Colloquialism Informal words or expressions not usually acceptable in formal speech or writing. Examples: y'all Gonna ain't nothin I m fixing to. Okeydoke
8 Dialect The language of a particular region, class, or group of people, encompassing the sounds, spelling, grammar, and diction employed by a specific people as distinguished from others geographically or socially. E.g. Northeastern (Boston/Maine) dialectical phrase wicked Southern dialectical phrase y all New Orleans Nawlins
9 Litotes A type of understatement in which an idea is expressed by negating its opposite. Example: Describing a particularly horrific scene by saying, It was not a pretty picture. Referring to something as good by saying, Not bad.
10 Metonymy From meta, "change" and onoma, "name Substituting the name of one object for another object closely associated with it. Look for nouns that represent a larger idea Example: We re waiting on a decision from the White House The pen [WRITING] is mightier than the sword [WAR/FIGHTING]. We await word from the crown. I'm told he's gone so far as to give her a diamond ring. The IRS is auditing me? Great. All I need is a couple of suits arriving at my door. Don t confuse this with synecdoche = part of something used to represent the whole. E.g. All hands on deck
11 Pathos From the Greek, "experience, suffer" The quality in a work that prompts the reader to feel pity.
12 Proverb A saying that briefly and memorably expresses some recognized wisdom or truth about life Examples: Still waters run deep. A penny saved is a penny earned. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Time and tide wait for no man.
13 Sarcasm A kind of particularly cutting irony. Generally, sarcasm is the taunting use of praise to mean its opposite that is, to insult someone or something. Example: Saying, Nice shoes in a way that makes it clear that you believe the shoes to be hideous.
14 Satire A literary technique in which ideas, customs, behaviors, or institutions are ridiculed for the purpose of improving society. It often involves the use of irony and exaggeration to force readers to see something in a critical light. Examples: The Daily Show & The Colbert Report The Onion (
15 Truism A statement, the truth of which is obvious or well-known. The apple never falls far from the tree
16 Syntax Terms
17 Sentence Types (by organization) Loose: makes complete sense if brought to a close before its actual ending The game continued in spite of heavy rain and cold temperatures Periodic: makes complete sense only once the end of the sentence is reached In spite of heavy rain and cold temperatures, the game continued. Balanced: phrases and clauses balance each other by virtue of their likeness of structure, meaning, or length I have been to the mountaintop, and I have seen the promised land.
18 Sentence Types (by order) Natural order: subject comes before the predicate Bluebonnets grow in Texas Inverted order: predicate comes before the subject In Texas, grow Bluebonnets Split order: the subject divides the predicate into two parts In Texas, Bluebonnets grow *predicate = verb & verb phrase that give info about the subject.
