1 Literary Terms English 12

2 91. Simile Comparison using “like” or “as”
Eg. The sun shines like Isshin’s smile

3 57. Metaphor/Extended Metaphor
Comparison of two apparently unlike things/objects for literary effect Eg. The way that we talk about emotion—like love—is conceptualized entirely through metaphor. “My heart is full of love” = heart is a container and love is a tangible substance. Eg. His voice was furry and fluffy to the ear. Soft, higher pitched voice, perhaps

4 98. Repetition Repeating a word or phrase for literary effect.

5 2. Alliteration The repetition of a sound at the beginning of two or more words in a row for literary effect. They may be separated by a short word. The dusty dog drank deeply. Leaves that leaned to the sway of the wind. Kindly, the cat looked on. Apples atrophied on the tree

6 68. Onomatopoeia A sound word Eg. Buzz Eg. Whisper Eg. Murmer
Eg. Mumble

7 119. Dialogue What characters are saying in a piece of writing. Usually indicated using quotation marks and paragraphing. SOMETIMES, however, in poems or some stories, this dialogue will be indicated using italics.

8 71. Parallel Structure The grammatical organization of a sentence where there is deliberate repetition of a grammatical form Eg. They were running, hopping, and leaping.
