(Some)Literary Conventions
Symbolism– presenting a thing
that represents both itself and
something else.
Figurative Language/Imagery
Simile- A simile is a comparison of
two things using the word “like” or
the word “as”.
Metaphor- A metaphor is an indirect comparison of two things without the use of thewords “like” or “as”
Irony– The difference between
appearance and reality.There are
three types;
Dramatic– Something is known by
the reader but not by the
character(s).
Verbal– A statement that was made
that implies the opposite.
Situational– An event happens
contrary to reader’s expectations
Allusion– a reference to a person,
event, object, or work from
literature that is expected to be
known by the reader.
Flashback- A flashback is a section
of a literary work that presents an
event or series of events that
occurred earlier than the current
time in the work.
Foreshadowing– The act of presenting materials that hint at events that occur later in a story.
Point of View – Perspective from which a story is told: 1st, 3rd, Omniscient
Setting: time and place; often the description can reflect/mirror or contrast the character’s state of mind or highlight the mood of the text
Characterization: the character can be described directly by the author or indirectly through the actions, thoughts, and speech of the character.
Juxtaposition:placing two or more things side by side to emphasize the link or contrast
Themethe meaning of a story, what it reveals about human nature; plot is what happens in the story, while theme is what it means. Example: Plot: young soldier fights his first battle Theme: war is useless; fighting solves nothing
