More Figurative Language Connotation Idiom Symbolism Allusion Irony

Connotation An idea or quality that a word makes you think or feel in addition to its meaning.

Examples of Connotation The words underlined describe movement of water, but each has a very different connotation. They would each look different in the mind of the reader. The stream trickled over the rocks. The stream gushed over the rocks. The stream surged over the rocks. The stream cascaded over the rocks.

A phrase that doesn’t mean exactly what it says. Idiom A phrase that doesn’t mean exactly what it says.

Example of idiom Every cloud has its silver lining. If we play our cards right, we might get to go to the movies. You’ve known that forever.

Symbolism Using an object or a word to represent an abstract idea The Star of David is a symbol of Judaism. The dove is a symbol of peace.

Allusion A brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. This place is like a Garden of Eden. He was a real Romeo with the ladies. I was surprised his nose was not growing like Pinocchio’s.

Irony When the opposite of what is meant is said, or the opposite of what is expected occurs When in response to a foolish idea, we say, “what a great idea!” it is a verbal irony. I posted a video on YouTube about how boring and useless YouTube is. Mr. Van Daan complaining about how little food there is to eat in the attic is ironic.

Poetry Terms You Should Know Rhythm Rhyme Rhyme Scheme Free Verse Stanza

Rhythm The word rhythm is derived from rhythmos (Greek) which means, “measured motion.” It is the regular, repeated pattern of sound. “T’was the Night Before Christmas” has a rhythm that is created by using a pattern of two unstressed and one stressed syllable: T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse.

Rhyme A rhyme is one of two or more words or phrases that end in the same sounds. She used “moon” as a rhyme for “June.”

Rhyme Scheme The pattern of rhymes at the ends of the lines of a poem or verse. A, B, B, A A, B, A, B, A,B,C,B

Free Verse Free verse poems do not follow the rules, and have no rhyme or rhythm; but they are still an artistic expression

Stanza Stanzas in poetry are similar to paragraphs in pros(anything written that is NOT poetry). Both stanzas and paragraphs include connected thoughts, and are set off by a space. The number of lines varies in different kinds of stanzas.
