Literary Terms By Sarah, Shaun, and Jaden

Voice

Definition  A voice in literature is the form or a format through which narrators tell their stories. It includes the usage of syntax, diction, punctuation, character development, and dialogue.

Examples  In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird is a great example of character voice. The whole story is narrated by the character Scout.  Stream of consciousness is a narrative voice that comprises of thought process of the characters.  Epistolary narrative voice makes use of letters and documents to convey the message and reveal the story. It may use multiple persons’ voices, or there could be no narrator at all, as the author may have gathered different documents in a single place to shape a story.

Active Voice

Definition When the verb of a sentence is in the active voice, the subject is doing the acting. It describes a sentence where the subject performs the action stated by the verb.

Examples  I ran the obstacle course in record time.  I will clean the house every Saturday.  She faxed her application for a new job.

Passive Voice

Definition A verb is in the passive voice when the subject of the sentence is acted on by the verb.

Examples  The obstacle course was run by me in record time.  The house will be cleaned by me every Saturday.  The application for a new job was faxed by her.

Anti-climax

Definition Anti-climax is a rhetorical device which can be defined as a disappointing situation or a sudden transition in discourse from an important idea to a foolish or trivial one.

Examples  “Here thou, great Anna, whom three realms obey, Dost sometimes counsel take, and sometimes tea…”  The Rape of the Lock by Alexander Pope

Style

Definition Style is the literary element that describes the ways that the author uses words — the author's word choice, sentence structure, figurative language, and sentence arrangement all work together to establish mood, images, and meaning in the text.

Examples  “A drop fell on the apple tree, Another on the roof, And made the gables laugh, The breezes brought dejected lutes, And bathed them in the glee; And signed the fete away.” (Summer Shower by Emily Dickinson)

Stylistic Technique

Definition Stylistic techniques are the use of any of a variety of elements to give an auxiliary meaning, idea, or feeling to the literal or written.

Examples  Metaphor  Simile  Onomatopoeia  Allusion  Personification  Repetition
