Internal Rhyme
 two or more words rhyme in the same line
Example:
I bring fresh showers to the thirsting flowers.
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I
sleep.
Irony
- contrast between the expected
outcome and the actual way
things turn out
Metaphor
- a suggested comparison between two
unlike things in order to point out a
similarity;
- a metaphor DOES NOT use the word
like, as as, or than.
Motive
- a character’s reason for
doing what he/she does.
Onomatopoeia
- words that imitate, or sound
like, the actions they describe.
Examples: bang, slurp, ping,
slam, hiss, squish
Outcome
- the last event of the story which
tells how the story ends; it
explains whether the main
character met his/her challenge.
Paradox
- a statement that reveals a
kind of truth although at first
it seems to be self-
contradictory and untrue.
Example of Paradox
It was the best mistake he ever made.
(he learned a lot from this error).
Good fences make good neighbors
(fences do separate people, but they help
people get along by making boundaries clear).
Parallel Story
- a narrative or picture story
enclosed within another story,
where both stories are of equal
interest
Parody
- a humorous story that makes fun of
another well-known story by imitating
it; characters, plot, theme, setting, may
all be copied or changed for humorous
effect
Personification
- a description in which an object
(or animal, or idea, or force of
nature) takes on human
characteristics or actions.
Plot
- what happens in a story,
told in a sequenced,
chronological order.
Poetic Justice
- an outcome in a story
where good is rewarded,
and evil is punished
Point of view
- the perspective from which a
story is seen or told.
3 Point of Views
• First Person: (I and me are used; the
narrator is actually a part of the story)
I woke up first, alarmed that I had slept too
late and missed my chance. A look at my
brother’s bed told me he was still asleep,
snuggled up under the covers.
3 Point of Views
• Third Person: (he and she are used; the
narrator simply helps tell the story, and lets
all character speak for themselves)
• Pete woke up first. A look at his brother’s
bed told him that Sam was still asleep,
snuggled up under the covers.
3 Point of Views
• Omniscient: (he and she are used; BUT the narrator
not only lets characters speak, but can also “get
inside their heads” to read their thoughts)
• Pete woke up first, feeling somewhat alarmed that he
might have overslept and missed his chance. He
looked at his brother’s bed and was glad to see that
Sam was still asleep, snuggled up under the covers.
