TPO # 7

• WE WILL APPLY THE MEANINGS OF THE LITERATURE ELEMENTS USING NOTES ,A SHORT STORY AND DISCUSSION QUESTIONS.

• theme - Cultural Definition• A central idea in a piece of writing or other work of

art: “The theme of desperation is found throughout his novels.”

• symbolism• [sim′bə liz əm]′• Symbolism is the practice of giving special meaning

to objects, things, relationships or events.Symbols can represent other objects or ideas and often reinforce the theme.

• figurative language• • The definition of figurative language is

language used to describe someone or something by comparing to another, or using words for description that do not have a literal meaning.

• Figurative Language: Understanding the Concept• One of the best ways to really understand the concept of figurative language is

to see it in action such as with these examples:• Alright, the sky misses the sun at night.• The poorest man is the richest, and the rich are poor.• Hear the mellow wedding bells. - Edgar Allen Poe• Out of reach, I pull out with a screech.• I move fast like a cheetah on the Serengeti.• Her head was spinning from all the new information.• The toast jumped out of the toaster.• I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.• The Sea lashed out in anger at the ships, unwilling to tolerate another battle.• The Redcoats are coming!• I’ve told you a million times to clean your room!

• Imagery• Imagery is a type of figurative language that appeals to the senses.

The language creates a picture in the mind of the reader.• A good example is from Wordsworth's "I Wandered Lonely as a

Cloud":• A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.He doesn’t say “many” or “a lot of” daffodils, he uses the word “host.” That means a huge number of daffodils. Later, he personifies the daffodils, and personification will be covered later on.

• Another example is from “The Eagle” by Tennyson,• “He clasps the crag with crooked hands."The hard consonant sounds

add even more to the imagery here.

• Simile• A simile compares two things using the words “like” and “as.” Examples include:• busy as a bee• clean as a whistle• brave as a lion• stand out like a sore thumb• as easy as shooting fish in a barrel• as dry as a bone• as funny as a barrel of monkeys• they fought like cats and dogs• like watching grass grow• Metaphor• A metaphor compares two unlike things using the form of the be verb: Is , are , was were, has , been• Examples include:• the world is my oyster• you are a couch potato• time is money• he has a heart of stone• America is a melting pot• you are my sunshine

• Personification• Personification gives human characteristics to inanimate objects, animals, or ideas. This

can really affect the way the reader imagines things. This is used in children’s books, poetry, and fictional literature. Examples include:

• opportunity knocked on the door• the sun greeted me this morning• the sky was full of dancing stars• the vines wove their fingers together to form a braid• the radio stopped singing and stared at me• the sun played hide and seek with the clouds• Onomatopoeia• Onomatopoeia is the use of words that sound like their meaning, or mimic sounds. They

add a level of fun and reality to writing. Here are some examples:• the burning wood hissed and crackled• the words: beep, whirr, click, whoosh, swish, zap, zing, ping, clang, bong, hum, boom,

munch, gobble, crunch, pow, smash, wham, quack, meow, oink, and tweet.

• Hyperbole• Hyperbole is an outrageous exaggeration that emphasizes a

point, and can be ridiculous or funny. Hyperboles can be added to fiction to add color and depth to a character. Examples are:

• You snore louder than a freight train.• It's a slow burg. I spent a couple of weeks there one day.• She is so dumb, she thinks Taco Bell is a Mexican phone

company.• I had to walk 15 miles to school in the snow, uphill.• You could have knocked me over with a feather.

• irony• [ī′rə nē, ī′ər nē]• The definition of irony is the use of words where

the meaning is the opposite of their usual meaning or what is expected to happen.

• An example of irony is someone who talks a lot having nothing to say when asked a question.

• An example of irony is a whaling ship being used to save marine animals after a tsunami.

• Situational Irony• This type of irony may occur when the outcome of a certain situation is

completely different than what was initially expected. It is often referred to as an “irony of events.”

• Examples of irony in the situational category include a contradiction or sharp contrast.

• Example: A person who claims to be a vegan and avoids meat but will eat a slice of pepperoni pizza because they are hungry. It may not make sense, but it is an illustration of irony.

• Example: A man who is a traffic cop gets his license suspended for unpaid parking tickets.

• Example: An ambulance driver goes to a nightime bike accident scene and runs over the accident victim because the victim has crawled to the center of the road with their bike.

• Dramatic Irony• Dramatic irony occurs when there is miscommunication in a book, play or film

and the audience is smarter than the characters.• Example: As an audience member, you realize that if a character walks into an

abandoned warehouse, chances are a killer is waiting... but because you are a member of the audience you cannot disclose the information to the character.

• Example: In Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare Romeo finds Juliet in a drugged state and he thinks she is dead. He kills himself. When Juliet wakes up she finds Romeo dead and kills herself.

• Example: In Macbeth by William Shakespeare Macbeth appears to be loyal to Duncan but he is planning Duncan's murder. Duncan doesn't know Macbeth's plans but the audience knows what is going to happen.

• This is most often seen in horror films. If you are watching a horror movie, you know by the actions of a character that their number is about to be up.

• Sarcasm• Sarcasm is yet another popular form of irony where the user intends

to wittily attack or make a derogatory statement about something or someone. Often, sarcasm is confused with irony instead of being a recognized form of irony.

• Example: At a party a lady tells Winston Churchhill he is drunk to which Churchhill said "My dear, you are ugly...but tomorrow I shall be sober."

• Example: In "The Canterbury Tales" Chaucer criticizes the clergy who had become corrupt, by referring to the Friar as a "wanton and merry" person who takes bribes and seduces women.

• Sarcasm can often be funny, and witty yet simultaneously it can be hurtful and humiliating.
