Literary Devices

Literary devices are used to:  call attention to the important parts of a story  make the writing style memorable  add to the characterization, setting, plot, and theme

Foreshadowing hints and clues that the author gives the reader about what will happen later in the story used to build anticipation in the reader Example: “…as though he waited for some beast of the woods to come within the range of his vision…” (Munro 11).

Personification giving human characteristics to an object or creature that is not human Examples: The sun smiled down on us. The leaves danced in the breeze.

Hyperbole extreme exaggeration used to make a point Examples: I have a million things to do today. He is as old as the hills. These books weigh a ton.

Onomatopoeia the naming of an object or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it Examples: buzz, hiss, swish, bang, clap

Alliteration the repetition of initial consonant sounds in words Example: “The rest of Harrison’s appearance was Halloween and hardware. Nobody had ever worn heavier handicaps” (Vonnegut 7).

Symbol: a person, place, object, or image that represents another idea, feeling, or belief a symbol has its own meaning, but also stands for something beyond itself Examples: wine in “The Interlopers” handicaps in “Harrison Bergeron”

Symbolism: the author’s use of symbols to add meaning to a story General symbols  stand for universal ideas Examples: heart for love, skull for death Constructed symbols  created by an author to represent an important idea in a particular story Examples: ruby slippers in The Wizard of Oz, handicaps in “Harrison Bergeron”

Allusion = a brief reference to a well- known person, place, historical event, literary work, or work of art

Types of Allusions: Biblical Historical Classical (mythology) Literary (fairy tales often become allusions  Prince Charming, Big Bad Wolf, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel) Shakespeare allusions are common Popular culture/ sports

Allusions: Why do authors/ artists/ musicians use “allusion”? - helps create a certain mood quickly, without a lot of explanation - connects author/ artist/ musician to the reader or audience
