Theme, characters, conflict, and setting are literary terms that are essential to any story you may
read. Each literary term is important to the development of the plot. The lesson or moral that you
take away from the story is the theme. The time and place in which the story happens is the setting.
The conflict is the issue or the main problem in the story. The characters are just the people who are
involved in the story. All four of those terms can often be compared or contrasted throughout
different stories. Three stories that have similarities and differences with those four literary terms
are "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket", "The Leap", and "The Trip". The literary elements –

But, unfortunately, Murad got caught. In the text, it said, "It will be hard to convince his mother,
but in the end he knows he will prevail on her to sell her gold bracelets. If she sells all seven of
them, it will pay for another trip. And next time, he'll make it." The theme of this story would be to
never lose hope and don't give up. The main character, Tom Benecke, had been working on a paper
for his job, for a couple months. All of the information that he needed for his promotion was on that
piece of paper. So, when it flew out of the window, he was so devastated that he walked out onto the
ledge of his 11–story high apartment. When he almost falls off, he comes a near death experience,
which made him realize that he has been wasting his life on work. He hadn't been paying
attention to his personal life and the time he has left for his life. But, even after realizing that, he
still made an effort to save his paper. In the text, it says, "He understood fully that he might
actually be going to die; his arms, maintaining his balance on the ledge, were trembling steadily
now. And it occurred to him then with all the force of a revelation that, if he fell, all he was ever
going to have out of life he would then, abruptly, have had." He still pressed to continue his journey

Imagery: A Summary Of Some Literary Terms
Imagery are words or phrases that represent something that can be seen, tasted, felt, or heard. It is
when the certain words can draw a picture into our minds. An example of this is: The children
were screaming because of the excitement of the circus. Metaphor is used to compare two things
that have hidden similarities between each other. An example of this is: She sings like an angel. It
means that she sing very good. Simile is a comparison of two things that are different but are
compared by the words like or as. He is silly as a goose. Rhetorical or voice is the way the authors
expresses themselves in writing. It is the authors own personality, style, or point of view.

who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is
moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down." In this the words "who made" are repeated
to make the reader think more in depth with the poem and what the author is asking. Another
example is from the poem "I Like For You To Be Still" "I like for you to be still it is as though you

Literary Analysis Reflection
I was not introduced to the idea of analyzing literature until probably the sixth grade. Since then,
my definition of the term "literary analysis" took a different direction with every new teacher that
tried to break down such a concept. It was first taught to me as summarizing a piece of writing,
including all of the main points. Moving on to the next couple grades, I learned that it involved
understanding so called literary devices, such as metaphors, similes, allusions, and imagery to name
a few. In the ninth grade, I reached a major turning point in my perspective on analyzing literature. I
was taught that it is the act closely examining a piece of writing to find significant symbolism, roles,
or effects of characters, settings, or parts of the plot. By the end of my sophomore year, I've come to
define it as interpreting the author's writing through deep examination and making a logical and
arguable conclusion based off of my findings and my supported understanding. Consequently, there
are no right or wrong answers in your interpretations as you are to prove your point with evidence
from the text. With my current knowledge, putting analysis into an essay is somewhat similar to a
persuasive essay for a mock trial class in terms of the argumentative position you take. My recent
experiences with analyzing literature have been immensely profound, but there are certain strategies
that I developed to take on the challenge. For the most part, Mr.McLoskey, my Freshman year

Defining Literature Essay
The definition of literature has been discussed and argued over time and there is no precise
answer to be given. Any reader or author can define literature as whatever they wish it to be
defined as. This is more of an opinion of how one views certain pieces of work or writings and
whether or not they feel that is actually literature or not. Literature is any type of creative writing
such as fiction or poetry, for example. Literature is also any form of body of written works of
language, which could be from the English era or even as far back as the Shakespearean or
Elizabethan era. It is also work from a specific period or culture defining key elements or somehow
relating to and/or expressing how it is exactly from that time. The...show more content...
In her poem, "Dylan" in lines 4 and 5, she writes, "Her hair was a halo of warm light / and color
dripped off her tongue" (23). The reader can interpret just from those two lines the creativity and
imagination not only in that one poem, but also in all poetry. The description of hair being a halo
of warm light allows the reader to use his or her own imagination to perceive that image in
whichever way they would like. Creative writing can be determined by many other things not only
image or structure of how the poem is set into stanzas, but what is left up to the reader for
interpretation. Jewel writes in "Cautious" in lines 23–29, "an open vessel / whose function it was / to
be filled / until my consciousness / could return and / spit out / the bad seeds" (18). After reading
these lines the reader can be left with different feelings and emotions that vary from disgust or
simplicity. This is just another example of how poetry is creative writing. According to the
American Heritage Dictionary, literature is defined as being the body of written works of a
language, period, or culture. An author of any specific type of writing or works can include
certain details pertaining to language or other details, which allow the reader to develop a sensory
image of that specific period or culture. If the reader had no prior knowledge to the language,
period, or culture of the writing he or she would be reading, upon reading and analyzing

Literary Devices In Mid Term Break
In the poems, 'Mid–Term Break' by Seamus Heaney and 'Because I could Not Stop For Death' by
Emily Dickinson, Death is conveyed very differently depending on the author. Throughout
'Mid–Term Break' By Seamus Heaney, Death is shown in a way you would expect. The poem is
about a 4 year–old boy's funeral. It is in Seamus's perspective, but written as if he was a teenager and
is based on his personal experiences. 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death' by Emily Dickinson,
personifies Death, and shows him in the afterlife. Both Authors use different structures, and literary
devices to convey the theme of death differently.
'Because I Could Not Stop For Death' By Emily Dickinson is what is known as a quatrain poem. A
quatrain poem is a poem with 4–line stanza's, which most commonly has...show more content...
"In the porch I met my father crying". This quote shows how Heaney was not trying to confuse the
readers. In this quote when he says; "My father crying", it shows how simple and easy to
understand this poem is, as well as how Death can be brutal. Fathers are commonly seen as strong,
powerful, authoritative figures; however, Heaney's father is "Crying" showing what death can do to
you. This quote also shows how even without literary devices throughout the poem, each word
Heaney writes can still be interpreted.
As I said before, if you compare the lack of literary devices and under meanings in 'Mid–Term
Break' to 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death', you will find that 'Because I Could Not Stop For
Death' has significantly more, therefore conveying Death in a very different way. Straight away in
the first stanza, death is personified to "Death", who is a 'Kind" man. Within the opening stanza of
the poem, Dickinson has already set a different tone then Heaney did. Already we know that Death
is not just a state of being, but he is a kind, friendly

Literary Terms For The End
Literary Terms for "In the End" Linkin Park's "In the End" is a song that many people can relate
to because it is about a situation that everyone has encountered. The approach Chester uses to
describe a hard situation by using the structure, symbolism and prosody he specifically picks out
makes the song catchy and relatable. The way he forms the song and the words he picked out
allows a depressing moment to become an inspiration for anyone going through hard times. The
most important literary term is structure, this is the beginning layout of the poem, story or song.
This is how the poem is organized it is where the author decides how the story is to begin, the
details that are going to keep the reader intrigued, the crisis and the climax and the way the poem
is to end, the resolution. Even in the song "In the End" there is an outline of how it begins and
ends. Right away the author shows that there is a major complication, he has worked hard at
reaching a goal or helping a person and has failed. Then further down in the lyrics he shows the
crisis, where all of the reasons are starting to build up as to why he has decided not to stay with
the other character in the song, he sings reasons like when you were mocking me, acting like I was
your property and fighting all the time. He even sings about everything has changed and there is no
way to bring it back. He then lines it up with when the chorus hits; we see the resolution of the song.

Metaphor "A sudden emptiness seemed to flow now from the windows and the great doors.."
(Fitzgerald, 57) This quote represents a very good metaphor. A metaphor is A term or phrase that
is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance.
This quote is simply saying that emptiness is now in the air and it feels like it is flowing from the
great outdoors. This could also be used as a personification. 3. Epiphany "How do you get to
West Egg village?" he asked hoplessly. I told him. And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I
was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He had casually conferred on me the freedom of the
neighborhood." (Fitzgerald, 4) An epiphany is a sudden insight of reality. This quote is a really
good example of an epiphany. This quote describes Nick and how he has an insight with reality.

"internal condition". He uses the example of having the Kingdom of God within you as a Christian,
so you would be reflecting on the will of God which Arnold calls the "study of perfection" (Arnold

goodness and the study of perfection throughout his writing. Arnold's interpretations is that of
learning about the will of God, and a reflection on culture. Arnold states outright that "Criticism is
not, ultimately, something one does; it gestures toward who one is" (Leitch, et al. 693).
Our next theorists is Sigmund Freud. His works comes from the psychoanalytic theory period. This
theory is about how the mind of an individual is made up of both conscious and unconscious parts
with the unconscious being the more powerful of the two. Freud explains how to make sense of the

Literary genre is the term used to refer to any form of writing. There are many categories of
writing such as fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Whether they come in the form of short stories,
books, newspapers or even text messages, they are still deemed as 'literary genre'. In previous
classes (such as English 4 or English 101) it was required to know how to read, write, and analyze
short stories, writings, poems, books, and more. The main genres worked upon were usually
nonfiction such as biographies or autobiographies. During English 101 it was a requirement to do a

exhibit diglossia.

character traits enhance the theme of marital conflict, because as a parent, she doesn't want to

is not because she deems Mr.Kapasi to be her best friend, but because she thinks Mr.Kapasi have the

What is Literature?
Poems, novels, and stories; these are some of the things that first came to my mind upon pondering
on the question 'What is Literature?'. And just lately I have known that literature also includes
songs, speeches, plays, and many others in written and spoken forms. I have also known that things
that are produced out of creative imagination can be referred as literary works which are the ones
that comprise literature. Considering this description of what literature is, the coverage of literature
seems very puzzling. If literary works are those produced out of creative imagining, then it would
directly point to fictional works. But then, there are also...show more content...
Take for example the views of two individuals coming from different places on anovel based on the
culture of one. It would likely be the same if their culture and beliefs are quiet related but if not, then
they would surely have different understandings on certain parts of that novel. Hence, defining
literature as those considered by people as 'literature' is questionable.
Eagleton also associated literature as any kind of works which are valued highly by people. But
then again, since people may have different perceptions on things, one may value highly a certain
work while another person may consider it just as a plain writing. As stated by Ms. Pinzon, a
literature professor, a personal letter can be an example of this. The recipient of the letter can be
expected to really value the letter while her classmate may not. Hence, this can't define literature as a
whole.
Then, what really is literature? Many great critics have tried formulating a fixed definition of
literature but have failed to do so. In the rise of every possible definition of what literature is,
counter arguments also rise.
Literature, though it seems impossible to enumerate everything it covers, play an important role in
every individual's life. One can influence using literature or be influenced by it. Examples of these
are the novels made by our very own national hero, Jose Rizal – the Noli Me Tangeri and El

[6] In Welsh Hill Country, R. S. Thomas conveys his response to a landscape: Too far for you to see
The fluke and the foot–rot and the fat maggot Gnawing the skin from the small bones, The sheep are
grazing at Bwlch–y–Fedwen, Arranged romantically in the usual manner On a bleak background of
bald stone. [7] Here the powerful evocation of desolation, of the stark brutality, even indifference, of
the countryside is captured by Thomas through a pointed use of language which also conveys his
grim mood. In contrast, Keat's To Autumn conveys a soft, sensuous depiction of this season which
captured his imagination: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness Close bosom–friend of the
maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the
thatch–eaves run; [8] Both these extracts show a creative, imaginative response to a particular
scene, and show contrasting ways in which a poet can use diction to capture his mood and provoke
a reaction in the reader. Devices such as rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, and assonance combine to form
a structure of mood, a structure recognisably literary. . . . apart from the precise mixture of
certainty and hesitation in the poet's mind, one of the sovereign gestures of art is to make the ideal
real, and to project a dim impersonal awareness onto a structure of definite invention. [9] Literature

All of the information that he needed for his promotion was on that piece of paper. So, when it flew out of the window, he was so devastated that he walked out onto the ledge of his 11–story high apartment. When he almost falls off, he comes a near death experience, which made him realize that he has been wasting his life on work. He hadn't been paying attention to his personal life and the time he has left for his life. But, even after realizing that, he still made an effort to save his paper. In the text, it says, "He understood fully that he might actually be going to die; his arms, maintaining his balance on the ledge, were trembling steadily now. And it occurred to him then with all the force of a revelation that, if he fell, all he was ever going to have out of life he would then, abruptly, have had."

In this the words "who made" are repeated to make the reader think more in depth with the poem and what the author is asking.

  • 5. Literary Analysis Reflection I was not introduced to the idea of analyzing literature until probably the sixth grade. Since then, my definition of the term "literary analysis" took a different direction with every new teacher that tried to break down such a concept. It was first taught to me as summarizing a piece of writing, including all of the main points. Moving on to the next couple grades, I learned that it involved understanding so called literary devices, such as metaphors, similes, allusions, and imagery to name a few. In the ninth grade, I reached a major turning point in my perspective on analyzing literature. I was taught that it is the act closely examining a piece of writing to find significant symbolism, roles, or effects of characters, settings, or parts of the plot. By the end of my sophomore year, I've come to define it as interpreting the author's writing through deep examination and making a logical and arguable conclusion based off of my findings and my supported understanding. Consequently, there are no right or wrong answers in your interpretations as you are to prove your point with evidence from the text. With my current knowledge, putting analysis into an essay is somewhat similar to a persuasive essay for a mock trial class in terms of the argumentative position you take. My recent experiences with analyzing literature have been immensely profound, but there are certain strategies that I developed to take on the challenge.

  • 6. Defining Literature Essay The definition of literature has been discussed and argued over time and there is no precise answer to be given. Any reader or author can define literature as whatever they wish it to be defined as. This is more of an opinion of how one views certain pieces of work or writings and whether or not they feel that is actually literature or not. Literature is any type of creative writing such as fiction or poetry, for example. Literature is also any form of body of written works of language, which could be from the English era or even as far back as the Shakespearean or Elizabethan era. It is also work from a specific period or culture defining key elements or somehow relating to and/or expressing how it is exactly from that time. The...show more content... In her poem, "Dylan" in lines 4 and 5, she writes, "Her hair was a halo of warm light / and color dripped off her tongue" (23). The reader can interpret just from those two lines the creativity and imagination not only in that one poem, but also in all poetry. The description of hair being a halo of warm light allows the reader to use his or her own imagination to perceive that image in whichever way they would like. Creative writing can be determined by many other things not only image or structure of how the poem is set into stanzas, but what is left up to the reader for interpretation. Jewel writes in "Cautious" in lines 23–29, "an open vessel / whose function it was / to be filled / until my consciousness / could return and / spit out / the bad seeds" (18). After reading these lines the reader can be left with different feelings and emotions that vary from disgust or simplicity. This is just another example of how poetry is creative writing. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, literature is defined as being the body of written works of a language, period, or culture. An author of any specific type of writing or works can include certain details pertaining to language or other details, which allow the reader to develop a sensory image of that specific period or culture. If the reader had no prior knowledge to the language, period, or culture of the writing he or she would be reading, upon reading and analyzing Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 8. Literary Devices In Mid Term Break In the poems, 'Mid–Term Break' by Seamus Heaney and 'Because I could Not Stop For Death' by Emily Dickinson, Death is conveyed very differently depending on the author. Throughout 'Mid–Term Break' By Seamus Heaney, Death is shown in a way you would expect. The poem is about a 4 year–old boy's funeral. It is in Seamus's perspective, but written as if he was a teenager and is based on his personal experiences. 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death' by Emily Dickinson, personifies Death, and shows him in the afterlife. Both Authors use different structures, and literary devices to convey the theme of death differently. 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death' By Emily Dickinson is what is known as a quatrain poem. A quatrain poem is a poem with 4–line stanza's, which most commonly has...show more content... "In the porch I met my father crying". This quote shows how Heaney was not trying to confuse the readers. In this quote when he says; "My father crying", it shows how simple and easy to understand this poem is, as well as how Death can be brutal. Fathers are commonly seen as strong, powerful, authoritative figures; however, Heaney's father is "Crying" showing what death can do to you. This quote also shows how even without literary devices throughout the poem, each word Heaney writes can still be interpreted. As I said before, if you compare the lack of literary devices and under meanings in 'Mid–Term Break' to 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death', you will find that 'Because I Could Not Stop For Death' has significantly more, therefore conveying Death in a very different way. Straight away in the first stanza, death is personified to "Death", who is a 'Kind" man. Within the opening stanza of the poem, Dickinson has already set a different tone then Heaney did. Already we know that Death is not just a state of being, but he is a kind, friendly Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Literary Terms For The End Literary Terms for "In the End" Linkin Park's "In the End" is a song that many people can relate to because it is about a situation that everyone has encountered. The approach Chester uses to describe a hard situation by using the structure, symbolism and prosody he specifically picks out makes the song catchy and relatable. The way he forms the song and the words he picked out allows a depressing moment to become an inspiration for anyone going through hard times. The most important literary term is structure, this is the beginning layout of the poem, story or song. This is how the poem is organized it is where the author decides how the story is to begin, the details that are going to keep the reader intrigued, the crisis and the climax and the way the poem is to end, the resolution. Even in the song "In the End" there is an outline of how it begins and ends. Right away the author shows that there is a major complication, he has worked hard at reaching a goal or helping a person and has failed. Then further down in the lyrics he shows the crisis, where all of the reasons are starting to build up as to why he has decided not to stay with the other character in the song, he sings reasons like when you were mocking me, acting like I was your property and fighting all the time. He even sings about everything has changed and there is no way to bring it back. He then lines it up with when the chorus hits; we see the resolution of the song. This part shows the realization that Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Imagery "We walked through a high hallway into a bright rosy–colored space, fragilely bound into the house by French windows at either end. The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house." (Fitzgerald, 8) This Literary term is an example on Imagery. This quote is explaining how it shows inside the hallway that he was standing in.

Metaphor "A sudden emptiness seemed to flow now from the windows and the great doors.." (Fitzgerald, 57) This quote represents a very good metaphor. A metaphor is A term or phrase that is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance. This quote is simply saying that emptiness is now in the air and it feels like it is flowing from the great outdoors. This could also be used as a personification. 3. Epiphany "How do you get to West Egg village?" he asked hoplessly. I told him. And as I walked on I was lonely no longer. I was a guide, a pathfinder, an original settler. He had casually conferred on me the freedom of the neighborhood." (Fitzgerald, 4) An epiphany is a sudden insight of reality. This quote is a really good example of an epiphany. This quote describes Nick and how he has an insight with reality. 4. Simile "Like an angry diamond..." (Fitzgerald, 56) A simile is when you compare 2 things using like or as. The simile i used is farely simple. I used this one because they talk about diamonds and are wealthy. they are also "like an angry diamond". 5. Hyperbole "I'm paralyzed with happiness."

Culture, and literature, causes us to stop and reflection on what's within us, as it is an "internal condition". He uses the example of having the Kingdom of God within you as a Christian, so you would be reflecting on the will of God which Arnold calls the "study of perfection" (Arnold 717). Interpretation to make sense of the work. Arnold's emphasis culture and the pursuit of moral goodness and the study of perfection throughout his writing. Arnold's interpretations is that of learning about the will of God, and a reflection on culture. Arnold states outright that "Criticism is not, ultimately, something one does; it gestures toward who one is" (Leitch, et al. 693). Our next theorists is Sigmund Freud. His works comes from the psychoanalytic theory period. This theory is about how the mind of an individual is made up of both conscious and unconscious parts with the unconscious being the more powerful of the two. Freud explains how to make sense of the unconscious minds desires and dream through his work, The Interpretation of Dreams.

Literary Analysis Essay Literary Analysis Essay: Characterization In term of writing an essay, characterization is one of the most important literary elements that author can use to improve their writing. A good characterization can is a detail, exhaustive description, it can help the reader to understand the whole writing better. Characterization can be used to enhance the theme, because it can help to develop the story. In Jhumpa Lahiri's short story "Interpreter Of Maladies", Mrs.Das is describe as irresponsible, self–absorbed and selfish. These character traits enhance the theme of marital conflict, because as a parent, she doesn't want to take any responsibility of her children; in fact, she always does her own stuffs; and hopes others will comfort her, after they know about her secret. It is clear that Mrs.Das has no love toward her family.

The word "job" connotes responsibility, career. It implies that Mrs.Das tells Mr.Kapasi about her secret, is not because she deems Mr.Kapasi to be her best friend, but because she thinks Mr.Kapasi have the ability to "cure" her. This selfish character trait directly augments the theme of marital conflict, because Mrs.Das is more willing to talk to a stranger and share her secret with them, instead of talking to her husband.

  • 20. What Is Literature Essay Charmine J. Cramales BS Math II Lit 3 10:30 – 12:00 What is Literature? Poems, novels, and stories; these are some of the things that first came to my mind upon pondering on the question 'What is Literature?'. And just lately I have known that literature also includes songs, speeches, plays, and many others in written and spoken forms. I have also known that things that are produced out of creative imagination can be referred as literary works which are the ones that comprise literature. Considering this description of what literature is, the coverage of literature seems very puzzling. If literary works are those produced out of creative imagining, then it would directly point to fictional works. But then, there are also...show more content... Take for example the views of two individuals coming from different places on anovel based on the culture of one. It would likely be the same if their culture and beliefs are quiet related but if not, then they would surely have different understandings on certain parts of that novel. Hence, defining literature as those considered by people as 'literature' is questionable. Eagleton also associated literature as any kind of works which are valued highly by people. But then again, since people may have different perceptions on things, one may value highly a certain work while another person may consider it just as a plain writing. As stated by Ms. Pinzon, a literature professor, a personal letter can be an example of this. The recipient of the letter can be expected to really value the letter while her classmate may not. Hence, this can't define literature as a whole. Then, what really is literature? Many great critics have tried formulating a fixed definition of literature but have failed to do so. In the rise of every possible definition of what literature is, counter arguments also rise. Literature, though it seems impossible to enumerate everything it covers, play an important role in every individual's life. One can influence using literature or be influenced by it. Examples of these are the novels made by our very own national hero, Jose Rizal – the Noli Me Tangeri and El Filibusterismo. During his time, Rizal has Get more content on HelpWriting.net

We instinctively associate the term with characteristics such as artistic merit, creative genius, and the expression of mankind's noblest qualities. In this essay I will explore some of the characteristics of this kind of writing. Literary works are primarily distinguishable from other pieces of writing by their creative, or artistic intent. A piece of literature differs from a specialised treatises on astronomy, political economy, philosophy, or even history, in part because it appeals, not to a particular class of readers only, but to men and women; and in part because, while the...show more content... [6] In Welsh Hill Country, R. S. Thomas conveys his response to a landscape: Too far for you to see The fluke and the foot–rot and the fat maggot Gnawing the skin from the small bones, The sheep are grazing at Bwlch–y–Fedwen, Arranged romantically in the usual manner On a bleak background of bald stone. [7] Here the powerful evocation of desolation, of the stark brutality, even indifference, of the countryside is captured by Thomas through a pointed use of language which also conveys his grim mood. In contrast, Keat's To Autumn conveys a soft, sensuous depiction of this season which captured his imagination: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness Close bosom–friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch–eaves run; [8] Both these extracts show a creative, imaginative response to a particular scene, and show contrasting ways in which a poet can use diction to capture his mood and provoke a reaction in the reader. Devices such as rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, and assonance combine to form a structure of mood, a structure recognisably literary. . . . apart from the precise mixture of certainty and hesitation in the poet's mind, one of the sovereign gestures of art is to make the ideal real, and to project a dim impersonal awareness onto a structure of definite invention.
