6. Prologue
The prologue prepares the reader
for the story they are about to read
with information that is necessary
to have before the start a piece of
reading.
One of the purposes of the
prologue is giving background
information about the story.

7. Narrative
Perspective
Narrative perspective refers to a set of features
determining the way a story is told and what is
told. It includes the person who is telling the story,
or the narrator, as well as the character from whose
point of view the story is told.

8. Dialogue
A dialogue is a conversation between two or
more people. These conversation can be
between characters in a novel, drama, etc. In
this conversation is present the exchange of
ideas or opinions on a particular issue, with a
view to reaching an amicable agreement or
settlement.
Based on the direction and tone, there are three
types of dialogue:
• Debate
• Discourse
• Diatribe

9. Plot Plot is a literary term used to describe the events
that make up a story, or the main part of a story.
These events relate to each other in a sequence to
give sense to what is being read. The plot is one of
the most important parts of a story.
There are five elements in a plot:
1.Introduction
2.Rising Action
3.Climax
4.Falling Action
5.Resolution

10. Figurative language
Figurative language is the
language that intends to create
an image, association, or other
effect in the mind of the listener
or reader that goes beyond the
literal meaning or expected use
of the words involved. It uses
figures of speech to achieve
this, which are expressions like
metaphors, similes, idioms,
personifications, among many
others.

11. The exposition of a story is the first paragraph or
paragraphs in which the characters, setting (time and
place),and basic information is introduced. A lot of
movies and story's show the exposition by panning
over the city or countryside and showing the main
character doing something such as walking, working,
or waking up. These scenes allow the readers to
understand where the story is taking place and who’s
in it.

12. is language used by poets, novelists and other writers to create
images in the mind of the reader. Imagery includes figurative and
metaphorical language to improve the reader's experience through
their senses.

13. is a repetition of similar sounds (usually, exactly the same sound)
in the final stressed syllables and any following syllables of two
or more words. Most often, this kind of perfect rhyming is
consciously used for effect in the final positions of lines of
poems and songs.
Perfect rhyme. A rhyme where both words share the exact
assonance and number of syllables. Also known as an exact
rhyme, a full rhyme, or a true rhyme. Examples, "leave" and
"believe“ and "bean" and "green"
Slant rhyme. A rhyme formed by words with similar, but
not identical, assonance and/or the number of syllables.
Also known as a half rhyme, an imperfect rhyme or a
near rhyme. Examples, backing and hacking, tricky and
picky.

14. Eye rhyme. Two words that look similar on a page,
but do not actually rhyme in spoken pronunciation.
(Examples include “move” and “love,” or “hour” and
“pour.”)
End rhymes. These are rhymes that occur between
the final words on two particular lines of poetry. End
rhymes can be either masculine (for instance
“below” and “furlough”) or feminine (for instance
“actual” and “factual”)

15. Foreshadowing
• Foreshadowing is a literary device that
writers utilize as a means to indicate
or hint to readers something that is to
follow or appear later in a story.
Foreshadowing, when done properly,
is an excellent device in terms of
creating suspense and dramatic
tension for readers. It can set up
emotional expectations
of character behaviors
and/or plot outcomes. This can
heighten a reader’s enjoyment of a
literary work, enhance the work’s
meaning, and help the reader make
connections with other literature and
literary themes.
• Examples;
• Dialogue, such as “I have a bad feeling
about this”
• Symbols, such as blood, certain colors,
types of birds, weapons
• Character reactions, such as
apprehension, curiosity, secrecy

16. Symbolism
• Symbolism is the use of symbols to
signify ideas and qualities, by giving
them symbolic meanings that are
different from their literal sense.
• Examples;
• A red rose, or the color red, stands
for love or romance.
• A broken mirror may symbolize
separation.
• The dove is a symbol of peace.

17. Wordplay
• Wordplay (or word play, and also
called play-on-words) is the clever and
witty use of words and meaning. It
involves using literary devices and
techniques like consonance,
assonance, spelling, alliteration,
onomatopoeia, rhyme, acronym, pun,
and slang, just to name a few, to form
amusing and often humorous written
and oral expressions. Using wordplay
techniques relies on several different
aspects of rhetoric, like spelling,
phonetics (sound and pronunciation
of words), and semantics (meaning of
words).
• Examples;
• Alliteration is a technique expressed by repeating the
same first consonant sound in a series of words. You’re
probably pretty familiar with this device, as it is a
distinguishing feature of many nursery rhymes and
tongue twisters. For example, “Peter Piper picked a peck
of pickled peppers.”
• Idioms are popular, culturally understood phrases that
generally have a figurative meaning. The English language
alone is said to have more than 25,000 idioms. Common
examples are almost endless, but to name a few, “it’s
raining cats and dogs,” “butterflies in my stomach,” “catch
a cold,” “rise and shine,” and “chill out” are some idioms
that you probably hear every day.
• Onomatopoeia are words that phonetically imitate
sounds. Some common examples are boom, achoo, pow,
whoosh, bam, tick-tock, click, meow, woof,
tweet, and ribbit, just to name a few.

18. Theme
• The theme is the underlying message
that the writer would like to get
across, and themes can be direct or
indirect.
• Examples;
