***CELL PHONES AWAY AND SILENT!***

40. Learning Target: I am able to learn about new literary devices.
Success Criteria: I can take notes on definitions and examples of literary devices and identify them in the book I am reading.

41. Suspense
Definition: the intense feeling the reading audience goes through when waiting for the outcome of an event.
Example: There's a time bomb under the table, and the reader knows it but the characters sitting at the table don't. The reader is afraid something terrible is about to happen and he would like to warn the characters of the impending danger.

42. Surprise
Definition: is a plot twist occurring near or at the conclusion of a story: an unexpected conclusion to a work of fiction that causes the audience to reevaluate the narrative or characters.
Example:

43. Description
Definition: uses language that helps the readers or listeners to form images in their minds about the thing being described.
Examples: The sunset filled the entire sky with the deep color of rubies, setting the clouds ablaze.

44. Dialogue
Definition: a literary technique in which writers employ two or more characters to be engaged in conversation with each other.
Example: “Now he is here,” I exclaimed. “For Heaven’s sake, hurry down! Do be quick; and stay among the trees till he is fairly in.”

45. Humor
Definition: a literary tool that makes audience laugh, or that intends to induce amusement or laughter.
Example: “No, don’t you worry; these country jakes won’t ever think of that. Besides, you know, you’ll be in costume, and that makes all the difference in the world; Juliet’s in a balcony, enjoying the moonlight before she goes to bed, and she’s got on her night- gown and her ruffled nightcap. Here are the costumes for the parts.” In this example, the duke is unable to notice the silliness of his own actions, instead he makes comments on the low level of understanding of the country jakes.

46. Sarcasm
Definition: a literary and rhetorical device that is meant to mock with often satirical or ironic remarks with a purpose to amuse and hurt someone or some section of society simultaneously.
Example: “Good fences make good neighbors.” This line points out in a sarcastic way two neighbors who have made a wall between them. However this wall falls apart every winter, therefore the neighbors meet and mend this wall, hence they spend more time together in this way.

47. Cliffhanger
Definition: a type of narrative or a plot device in which the end is curiously abrupt so that the main characters are left in a difficult situation without offering any resolution of conflicts.
Example: The term “cliffhanger” seems to get its name from Thomas Hardy’s novel “A Pair of Blue Eyes” which was published in a magazine in a series format with a chapter published every month. At the end of one of the episodes, Hardy left his main character “Henry Knight” hanging onto a cliff staring at the stony eyes of a fossil embedded in rocks below. Since then every abrupt end has been termed as a cliffhanger.
