Character Actors in a story – people, animals, objects

Conflict struggle between opposing forces in a story or play, usually resolved by the end of the work Man vs. self: may occur within a character (internal) Man vs. man (external) Man vs. society (external) Man vs. nature (external)

Dialogue lines spoken by a character in a play, essay, story, or novel. conversation that is often used to reveal characters and to advance the plot

Setting Where the story takes place

Plot The sequence of events in a story: Exposition Rising Action Climax (major conflict) Falling action Resolution

Mood The atmosphere of a literary work Purpose? Creates a certain emotion or feeling from the audience or reader… how do you feel while reading a story about a murder? How the reader feels

Tone The attitude of an author, as opposed to a narrator, toward the subject matter and/or audience. How the author feels

Allusion a reference in a literary work to a person, place, or thing in history or another work of literature, often indirect or brief references to well-known characters or events Example: “Chocolate was her Achilles’ heel.” This means that her weakness was her love of chocolate. “When she lost her job, she acted like a Scrooge, and refused to buy anything that wasn’t necessary.” Scrooge was an extremely stingy character from Charles Dickens’, A Christmas Carol.

Foreshadowing Clues that an author gives you to help you figure out what is going to happen later in the story (use these clues to make inferences)

Flashback A flashback is a narrative technique that allows a writer to present past events during current events, in order to provide background for the current narration

Irony A person, situation, statement, or circumstance is not as it would actually seem. Many times it is the exact opposite of what it appears to be

Verbal Irony Implies the opposite of what is said – surface meaning = what is said/ intended meaning = what is really meant "The cake is as soft as concrete" “The concept is as clear as mud"

Cosmic Irony some sort of misfortune, end result of fate or chance The Titanic was promoted as being 100% unsinkable; but, in 1912 the ship sank on its maiden voyage.

Situational Irony actions have an opposite effect than what was expected A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.

Dramatic Irony miscommunication in a book, play or film and the audience is smarter than the characters In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Romeo finds Juliet in a drugged state and he thinks she is dead. He kills himself. When Juliet wakes up she finds Romeo dead and kills herself.
