TOTAL ______
Have fun!
Genre – type of literary work EX: mystery, poem, realistic fiction, non-fiction, historical fiction, myth, legend, tall-tale…
Plot – how the conflict is played out. Rising action with a problem, then a solution or solutions to the problem
EX: Number the Stars: two girls and their families, one Jewish and one not, deal with Nazi occupation in Denmark. The non-Jewish family, especially the young girl, has to show bravery by dealing with soldiers in order to help save the Jewish family and help them escape to Sweden. **This shows the problem and the solution**
Foreshadowing – a clue of what will happen later in the story or giving a hint to what a character will be like later
EX: The Soothsayer to Julius Caesar, “Beware the Ides of March” (because something bad will happen on that day)
Flashback – remembering something from the past
EX: Paul remembers things about his past and the incident with his eyes
Climax – highest action of the story/ you know that the resolution is coming next
EX: From Tangerine - When Luis’ brother goes into the gym to confront Erik at the football banquet and a fight breaks out.
Conflict –
Man vs. man –Erik and Paul in Tangerine, or a typical Superman episode (against the “bad guy”)
Man vs. himself – to some extent, Cast Away dealt with this when the main character has to better himself to get off the island (can also be considered Man Vs. Nature) Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz has to realize that there is “No Place Like Home”
Man vs. nature – Brian’s Winter and Hatchet, The Perfect Storm
Man vs. society - In My Fair Lady, Liza Doolittle wants to “better” herself to fit into an upper class society. Also, Scarlet Ohara, in Gone with the Wind, struggles with the effects of the Civil War.
Resolution – solution to the conflict. EX: Paul confronts his parents about how Erik has treated him
Protagonist – main character EX: Annemarie, Odysseus, Paul
Antagonist – character or force that opposes the protagonist EX: Nazis, gods and Cyclops, Erik
First person point of view – narrator is part of the story. He/she is there
Third person point of view – narrator is not a part of the story, just retelling it
Irony - the contrast between what is expected or what appears to be and what actually is
EX: dying right after winning a huge lottery
Tone – when you can tell how the AUTHOR feels about the subject he/she is writing about
EX: Tom was a very weird kid because he was into bugs and other crawly things! That’s gross!
Mood – how a piece of writing makes you feel as YOU read it
EX: walking up to the gray, run down house, I could hear the thunder echoing all around me. (This is written so that you might feel nervous reading more of this type of story)
Style – distinct writing that sets an author apart from other authors – use of words/imagery/genres…
EX: Steven King (It, The Shining, Pet Cemetery) has a different writing style than Lois Lowry (Number the Stars and the Giver)
Theme – what the main character learns in the story – sometimes, the moral
EX: Theme of Number the Stars – bravery and what it takes to be a true friend
Figurative Language –
Simile – comparison using the words like or as EX: Lazy as a dog
Metaphor – comparison of two generally unlike things EX: You are a stubborn bear!
Alliteration – similar sounds repeated for effect EX: Wide-eyed, little skittle or lovely lake
Personification – human like qualities applied to something that isn’t human EX: That car really hums!
Hyperbole (hi-per-bo-lee) – exaggerated language EX: I have told you a thousand times!
Symbolism – using symbols to supply more meaning to a story – the symbols mean more than the obvious
EX: Smiley face = happy, skull/crossbones = death or poison
Imagery – using the five senses to convey more meaning to the story
EX: Grandma’s house was a little gingerbread house that smelled like sugar cookies and peppermints. Walking closer, I heard the wind rustling through the trees and felt it gently blow my hair. I knew in a few moments that I would be safe.
