Literary Terms and Examples Symbolism: Using a symbol- a word or object that stands for an idea. What’s your example?? Foreshadowing: hints and clues that tip the reader off as to what is to come later in the work “I had heard another sound… Someone inside the house was laughing.”

Literary Terms and Examples Characterization: the actions, words, and others’ opinions that help shape our idea of a character “Calpurnia was something else again. She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was as wide as a bed slat and twice as hard.” Setting: the time, place, physical details, and circumstances in which a situation occurs. “In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop; grass grew on the sidewalks; the courthouse sagged in the square.”

Literary Terms and Examples Flashback: a narrative technique that allows a writer to present past events during current events What’s your example?? Theme: a repeated main idea that is incorporated throughout a literary work “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.”

Literary Terms and Examples Irony:   referring to how a person or situation is not as it would actually seem; often it is the exact opposite. What’s your example??!? Simile: a simile is a type of figurative language that makes a comparison between two objects or ideas using the words "like" or "as.” “Ladies bathed before noon…and by nightfall were like soft tea cakes.”
