Literary device: foreshadowing
ReplyDeleteDefinition: When a writer uses subtle little hints or phrases that suggest something else is going to happen in the story.
Example: 1) Right then and there, Mahayla knew that waht Katalina said was true, things were never going to be the same between her and Blake.
2) Sometimes, all you can do is blink before you are swept up into the whirlwind of life.
3) The young children were white as a sheet, as if death had already taken them.
One literary device is alliteration. An allitteration is when you use something with the same first letter in each word. For example on cartoons there is Buggs Bunny and Porky Pig. Another example is in our Caught Ya's almost all of the characters have their first and last name start withe same letter. Like Petra Pulchritudinous and Dean Dread. If i were to use it in a descriptive sentance it would be something like this: Sally Shark and Peter Pig are not very good friends.

One form of a literary element is a simile.
ReplyDeleteA smilie is comparing 2 things that aren't the same, using the words like or as.
One example is The lions hair was as stiff as a board.

ReplyDeleteMetaphors are when two words in a saying are contrasted with eachother

Another literary device is irony.
ReplyDeleteIrony can be expressed two ways: verbal and situational
Verbal irony is your intent when you express words that carry the opposite in meaning.
Note: Irony is different from sarcasm in that it is not as harsh.
Using irony gives the impression of restraint.
An example,
A husband's reply upon his wife divorcing him, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille."
Situational irony:
Events that involve a contrast between what is permitted or expected or believed and what is really the case.
Example:
A police car involved in a high speed chase ends up crashing through a police barrier marked, "POLICE. KEEP OUT!"
a literary device is a simile.
ReplyDeletedefinition:a figurative language and to compare two things also uses "like" or "as".
example:today on earth was as hot as a day on the sun.

One example of a literary device is personification.
ReplyDeletePersonification is when you give an animal or an inanimate object human like quality.
Example: The rock was talking to me, telling me about how dull it's life was and how it hated being rained on and kicked by stupid teenagers.
