Literary Terms By: Marcelino Sanchez

Analogy The similarity between like features of two things. Ex: "Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.“ "Memory is to love what the saucer is to the cup."

Hyperbole The figure of the speech that people exaggeration do. Ex: I waited in line for centuries. Ex: You're always doing that.

Paradox The holding contradictory ideas together in order to point to a deeper truth. Ex: "War is peace." Ex:"Freedom is slavery."

Simile Comparison or compared between two things using like or as. Ex: "He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow." Ex:"Human speech is like a cracked cauldron on which we bang out tunes that make bears dance, when we want to move the stars to pity."

Metaphor A direct comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. Ex: "The streets were a furnace, the sun an executioner." Ex: "But my heart is a lonely hunter that hunts on a lonely hill."

Rhyme When words have the same words. Ex:"Yes, the zebra is fine. But I think it's a shame, Such a marvelous beast With a cart that's so tame. The story would really be better to hear If the driver I saw were a charioteer. A gold and blue chariot's something to meet, Rumbling like thunder down Mulberry Street!"

Alliteration The repetition of the same consonant sounds in lines of poetry or prose. Ex: "You'll never put a better bit of butter on your knife." Ex: "The soul selects her own society.“

Irony A constant or incongruity between what is stated and what is meant or between what is expected to happen. Ex: I have no doubt your theatrical performance will receive the praise it so richly deserves. Ex: He is as smart as a soap dish

Imagery The use of words or phrases that evoke the sensations of sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste. Ex: Though I was on the sheer face of a mountain, the feeling of swinging through the air was euphoric, almost like flying without wings. Ex: Her blue eyes were as bright as the Sun, blue as the sky, but soft as silk.

Onomatopoeia Words whose sounds suggests their meaning. Ex: Splash!!!!! Ex: Kapow!!!

Antagonist a person who is opposed to, struggles against, or competes with another opponent. Ex: of a villainous antagonist would be Iago in Shakespeare’s play Othello. Jealous Iago plots ways to bring the downfall of Othello, eventually succeeding in convincing Othello to kill his own wife.

Personification Giving human qualities to something not human. Ex: "The road isn't built that can make it breathe hard!" Ex: "Fear knocked on the door. Faith answered. There was no one there."

Foreshadowing Is that an author puts in clues as to how the plot is going to develop. Ex: That is definitely an example of foreshadowing. Any time when something in the story hints that something will happen later on is foreshadowing. Ex: The use of hints or clues that will help you figure out what will happen later in the story.

Flashback Is scene or event that happened earlier than beginning of a story. Ex: Movies Ex: Drama
