English 10a Literary terms and usage review sheet

Dialect: Speech that reflects pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar typical of a geographical region.

Free verse: Poetry that does not conform to a regular meter or rhyme scheme. Poets who write in free verse try to reproduce the natural rhythms of spoken language.

VERBAL IRONY: What is spoken or said (the words) is different/opposite from what is meant: I can be an overstatement/exaggeration or hyperbole, an understatement or litotes, or a pun.

Dramatic irony: The audience or some characters knowing more than other characters. Dramatic irony is also when characters are speaking or acting without knowledge others have; thus creating a double meaning.

Situational irony: congruity appears between expectations of something to happen, and what actually happens instead. Thus, something entirely different happens from what audience may be expecting, or the outcome is opposite to what the audience is expecting. Situational irony generally includes sharp contrasts and contradictions. The purpose of ironic situations is to allow the readers to make a distinction between appearances and realities, and eventually associate them to the theme of a story.

Point of view: PERSPECTIVE FROM WHICH THE STORY IS TOLD.
