Literary Terms We will be covering many literary terms in our Short Story Unit that we will use all year. Start a list in your notes section that you can continuously add to. Characterization: the ways individual characters are represented by the narrator or author of a text. This includes descriptions of the characters’ physical appearances, personalities, actions, interactions, dialogue, and… Protagonist: the main character of a story, novel, movie, etc. Imagery: a term used to describe an author’s use of vivid descriptions. Imagery can refer to the literal landscape or characters described in a narrative or the concepts of the story. Writer’s pain pictures with their words. Simile: a figure of speech that compares one thing with another kind of different thing using like or as. Used to make a description more vivid.

As you read ... Highlight imagery that grabs your attention Put a star next to any similes you find.

Imagery Pictionary Choose one of the imagistic moments (or similes) that you highlighted and draw it out on the back page of the packet.

After you read... In the Reader Response section of your journal complete the following tasks: Describe what you know about the protagonist. Use textual evidence whenever possible. Find two different emotions that the protagonist experiences. Name the emotion and quote the sentence. Write a personal response to the content of the story.
