Literary Devices p. 1 of 10
Literary Devices and Terms
Literary devices are specific language techniques which writers use to create text
that is clear, interesting, and memorable.
Alliteration - repeated consonant sound at the beginning of words or within words;
used to establish mood and rhythm in a story; true alliteration has three words
beginning with the same sound (two words beginning with the same sound would
be called alliterative)
Examples: bucking bronco; miserable morning; Bed, Bath, and Beyond
Allusion - a reference in one story to a well-known character or event from another
story, history, or place
Examples: the rise of the baseball team from last place to first was a real
Cinderella story; at times teachers need the wisdom of Solomon to make
decisions
Ambiguity - when a single event or expression can mean two different things to two
different people
Example: When it is announced that another baby is on the way, Father remarks,
“That could create some problems.” He means problems with money, but his
young son thinks, “You’re right, dad! I don’t want to share my room and toys
with anybody!”
Analogy - comparing one thing to another very different thing in order to explain it
better
Examples: a school is like a garden, where children are lovingly raised and
cared for; the rabbit shot from its hole like a rocket; the confetti fell like snow in
a blizzard as the parade passed through the city streets (these three analogies are
all written as similes)
Aphorism - a brief statement expressing some truth as shown is a story; it can be a
moral, or proverb, or maxim.
Literary Devices p. 2 of 10
Examples: Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.
Everyone is afraid of something.
Don’t make a big fuss if someone isn’t like us.
Atmosphere - mood or feeling developed through descriptions of the setting and
senses (how things feel, taste, smell, sound, look)
Example: Camping in those woods, time went slow. The thick forest air just sat
on you, hot and wet like a wool blanket, while mosquitoes droned in your ears
and stung you on the back where you could never quite reach to smack them.
Caricature - exaggeration or distortion of a physical trait or behavior, to make a
character appear comic or ridiculous
Example: her nose was needle sharp, with nostrils as small and black as a
mouse’s eyes
Character - a person or player (it can also be an animal, an imaginary creature) in a
story; character can also be used as a word meaning “personal traits,” as in
“Write a paragraph about the character of the Big Bad Wolf.”
Circular Story - a story which begins and ends at the same place, usually following
a character through different adventures or events; although the character arrives
back where he/she started, he or she should now have a different perspective or
feeling based upon experiences
Example: A poor farmer tra ...
The Paragraph and Topic Sentence is a PowerPoint presentation that details out what a paragraph is. Moreover, this PP will focus more on one essential part of a paragraph, which is the topic sentence -- its function and its position in the paragraph. A good paragraph must contain a good topic sentence. I hope this presentation will help you guys. Thanks :)

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Context Clues Definition-Words that surround an unknown word to help know the meaning of that word. Ex.- Sam likes exotic foods: vegetables and herbs from China, spices from India, olives from Greece, and cheeses from France. In this sentence you know the word exotic means rare or from other places because of all the different places listed.
3. Figurative Language Similes Definition-An expression comparing two things using like or as. Ex.-The Mad Hatters hair was as red as an apple. Metaphors Definition- An expression comparing two things NOT using like or as. Ex.-Your room is a pig sty Analogies Definition-Drawing a comparison in order to show a similarity. Ex.- Imagery Definition-When text helps you have a mental image or picture. Ex.-The rain was coming down so hard I couldn’t see 3 feet in front of me. Onomatopoeia Definition-Words used to imitate sounds Ex.-POW, BAM
4. Figurative Language Personification Definition-Making an inanimate object have human like characteristics. Ex.- The brave little toaster, all the characters were appliances that could talk and walk. Hyperbole Definition-An extreme exaggeration Ex.-There was an million different kinds of gum to choose from. Idiom Definition-A figure of speech not meant to be taken literally Ex.-Go fly a kite. Symbolism Definition-An object that symbolizes something else. Ex.-A heart symbolizes love
5. Text Structures Sequence Definition-Events that follow each other in time. Ex.-first the snow fell, then school got canceled, after that the kids went snowboarding. Problem/Solution Definition-when there is a major problem and later on it is resolved. Ex.-in the movie the sandlot , the kids lose the signed ball and at the end of the movie they get it back and become friends with the evil dog and his owner. Comparison/Contrast Definition-Showing similarities and differences between 2 or more objects. Ex.-Venn Diagram, it compares in the both section and contrasts in the other sides. Description Definition-describing something with great detail. Ex.-The moon was as bright as the sun on that dark December night. Cause/Effect Definition-when one event causes something else to happen. Ex.-Because the boys told on Jake he got suspended for a week.
6. Summary Definition-An overview of the original story in a shorted form that talks about the main points of the story. Ex.-In the story the Ugly Duckling, a summary would be an ugly duckling was born and rejected by multiple families, a family of swans finally accepted him and when his old family saw they wanted him back but he stayed with the swans.
7. Topic/Main idea Supporting Details Definition-Details of a story that support the main topic(s). Ex.- " Many schools throughout the U.S. force students grades kindergarten through twelfth to wear uniforms. Students who attend public schools should not have to wear uniforms for four reasons. (This is the main idea) 1. School uniforms inhibit students EUR(TM) individuality. Young people often express their feelings through the clothing that they wear. Uniforms will take away this form of expression. Why should school districts try to make everyone look the same? 2. A school uniform policy inhibits a student's freedom of choice. Schools teach students that our country is a free one. But when school boards make students wear what they tell them too-- it curtails the students' freedom. 3. There is the issue of cost. Many parents shop for their children's clothes at used and discount stores. Uniforms can cost more money than these families might be able to afford. Also, these students would need to buy additional clothing to wear after school and on the weekends. That's double the amount of money a family would spend than they would without the uniforms. 4. The last reason I do not enjoy the thought of school uniforms is comfort. Students enjoy wearing comfortable clothing to school. Uniforms are not necessarily comfortable. Also, wearing a uniform might make the student uncomfortable around people outside the school who don't have to wear a uniform. (These are the supporting details).
8. Topic/Main idea Theme Definition-The moral or life story behind the story. Ex.-In the movie the ugly duckling he finds a family that doesn’t care what he looks like and its also about not judging a book by its cover because you should get to know the person, in the end his old family wanted him back
9. Author’s Purpose Definition-What the author wants you to feel or do. Ex.- From the article from slide 7. The author is trying to persuade you to not have school uniforms.
10. Literary Devices Foreshadowing Definition-Hints at future events in the story. Ex.-in the movie Titanic when they say the ship is unsinkable it hints that its going to sink, and when they get the ice burg report and speed up, its also a sign that its going to sink. Flashback Definition-Going back and showing something that happened before. Ex.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXcafEJI4Nc It flashes back to what the Titanic once was. Irony Definition-Contrary to plan or expectations. Ex.- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYYq7vGiLMw At the very end of the video it shows irony when the ugly duckling stays with the swans.
