the life lesson or message in a work of literature. This message is usually about life, society or human nature. It’s the author’s advice about life to their readers.

a comparison between two seemingly unrelated objects using the words “like” or “as.” (Ex. Your skin is like silk.)

the time and place in which the action of a literary work takes place. This can include the date, the hour, the location, etc.

something concrete (an object) that represents or stands for something more abstract, like an idea, a feeling, or emotion. (Ex. The American Flag is a symbol of the idea of freedom)

an exaggeration or overstatement. (Ex. It’s colder than the North Pole outside.)

Characterization is a technique used by writers to reveal aspects of a character’s personality. When you characterize an individual you are judging them. You want to be able to use one adjective to describe the character.

a comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects without using “like or “as.”( Ex. Your eyes are windows to your soul.)

the difference between what appears to be and what really is.

sensory details (imagery appeals to the senses- what can be seen, heard,etc.)

the repeating of a word or phrase within literature to create a rhythm or make a point.

a suggestion of what is to come later in a work by giving hints and clues.

a figure of speech in which human qualities are assigned to non-human things, or life is given to inanimate objects. (Ex. The portrait of my grandmother spoke words of wisdom.)
