Periodic Sentence• Definition- A periodic sentence is the opposite of a
loose sentence, meaning that it is frequently a long sentence with a main point at the end and can either be persuasive or dramatic.
• Example: Despite heavy winds and nearly impenetrable ground fog, the plane landed safely.
• Example: After an immense amount of time waiting in the hospital, the doctor told us the news.
• Example: Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the lovable cat scratched Sally.
Personification
• Definition-Personification is giving human like qualities to non-living objects in order to create a more vivid affect to the reader.
• Example: The sun greeted me this morning.
• Example: The vines wove their fingers together to form a braid.
• Example: Snow had wrapped a white blanket over the city.
Point of View

First Person Narrator• Definition- A first person narrator is the one telling the story;
therefore, the literature is written in “I”.
• Example: “Shock and pain came in waves and I had to close my eyes several times. All of this was in minutes that seemed like hours, and I realized that I was in serious trouble.” –Woodsong
• Example: I thought I saw a shadow move high up on the slope, but when I looked again it was gone. Still, I shuddered as I felt a silent threat pass over me like a cloud over the sun.
• Example: I was minding my own business when Mom burst in. “What’s with you?” I grumbled.
Third Person
