Literary Terms So Far... Figurative Language

Metaphor Direct comparison of two unlike things. Ex: The man is a pig. Our father is a rock.

Simile Indirect comparison of two unlike things using like, as, seems, or than. Example: They flew like birds to the party. She is as mean as a snake.

Personification Giving human characteristics to an animal or inanimate object. Ex. “The sea licked greedy lips in the shadows.”

Anthropomorphism Specific type of personification wherein we attempt to understand/translate non- human behavior/motivations through the human, hence “anthrop,” lens. Ex. The puppy was crying because he was scared.

Hyperbole Extreme exaggeration Example: I have told you a million times what hyperbole is!!!!

Symbol Something that represents more than what it is―more than the thing itself. Example: Red rose=love.

Communion Whenever an author writes about eating or drinking, he/she is assessing the relationship of characters. If food and drink is shared, the relationship is good. If food and drink are uncomfortable or are refused, the opposite is true.

Allusion A reference to anything from art, history, mythology, The Bible, Shakespeare, etc. Example: In “The Most Dangerous Game” Zaroff's dog who sinks in the quicksand is named for Lazarus from The Bible who was raised from the dead.

Imagery Words that are used to help readers experience something through their senses. There are several specific types of imagery you should know...

Imagery Types... Sight:Visual Imagery Ex. The pool was crystal clear and deep blue with waters calmly rippling.

Imagery Types... Hearing=aural imagery Ex. I knew my mom was really mad when I heard the SLAM of the door.

Imagery Types... Touch=Tactile imagery Ex. The bunny’s fur felt like silk against my hand.

Imagery Types... Taste=Gustatory imagery Ex. The salt lingered on his lips long after he had eaten the olives.

Imagery Types... Smell=Olfactory Imagery Ex:The scent of rotten eggs wafted through the halls.

Imagery Types... Thermal Imagery to show us how warm or cold something is Ex. The blood warm waters of the Caribbean closed over his head.

Imagery Types... Kinetic Imagery is used to show us how something moves. Ex: The boat rocked back and forth and back and forth and back and forth.

Poetic Apostrophe When the speaker addresses someone or something that is not present. Ex: “Oh, Elvis. Your words inspire me to tears!”

Sound Devices... Alliteration: Repetition of initial sounds. Example: Mild mannered millionaire, and silly, silly students. Onomatopoeia: When a word sounds like what it is. Example: Whack, buzz, tinkle, sizzle, pop, and ding!

Sound Devices Cacophony—use of harsh or clashing sounds. Often used in descriptions of war, violence, hate, etc. Euphony—use of smooth or flowing sounds. Often used in description of love, happiness, joy, etc.

Sound Devices... Dialect—when literature is written, and words are spelled to indicate how the speech of a region or character sounds. Such as southern dialect with words like: y’all, fixin’ ta, howdy, etc.
