(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
