The Scarlet Ibis By James Hurst

Allusion A reference to some person, historical event, literature, work of art, Bible, etc. Her smile was that of the Mona Lisa, distant and insecure. This vacation is like Eden (paradise).

Characterization A method in which the author uses to develop the characters (bring them to live). Pogo’s tongue hung from his mouth lazily as he walked to get the ball his owner threw to him.

Conflict A struggle between two or more opposing forces. Sam lied to her mother, and she cried every night because her mother believed that she passed the test.

Diction The author’s choice of words. The young boy “says” The young boy “exclaimed”

Imagery Description words used to paint a picture in the reader’s mind (involves the five senses) The snow fluttered down from the clouds like down feathers from a pillow fight lightly, gently layering a mystical frosted path.

Denotation Dictionary meaning of the word house: a male dwelling place
