Literary Terms and Figurative Language Character, Personification, Setting, Oxymoron, and Tone

Character: A person in a story, play or poem.

Ways to reveal character Appearance (including clothes) Appearance (including clothes) Harry, though still rather small and skinny for his age, had grown a few inches over the last year. His jet-black hair, however, was just as it always had been – stubbornly untidy.... The eyes behind his glasses were bright green, and on his forehead, was a thin scar, shaped like a bolt of lightning. Examples from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Private Thoughts Talking excitedly, the class left the staffroom. Harry, however, wasn’t feeling cheerful. Professor Lupin had deliberately stopped him from tackling the boggart. Why? Was it because he’d seen Harry collapse on the train, and thought he wasn’t up to much? Had he thought Harry would pass out again?

How other characters feel about them “That’s my boy!” Wood kept yelling. Alicia, Angelina, and Katie had all kissed Harry; Fred had him in a grip so tight Harry felt as though his head would come off.... Harry got off his broom and looked up to see a gaggle of Gryffindor supporters sprinting onto the field, Ron in the lead.

Character’s actions That meant the dementors were closing in on Sirius.... Harry flung himself out from behind the bush and pulled out his wand. “EXPECTO PATRONUM” he yelled. And out of his wand burst, not a shapeless cloud of mist, but a blinding, dazzling, silver animal.

Round vs. Flat Characters Round characters – have many character traits, like real people. Example: Harry Potter, Hagrid, Hermione Granger Flat characters – have only one or two character traits and contain no depth to them. Example: Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout

Setting Setting tells where and when a story takes place. It can include: Setting tells where and when a story takes place. It can include: Locale and weather of the story (stormy Seattle) Locale and weather of the story (stormy Seattle) Time of day and/or time period (morning in 1920s England) Time of day and/or time period (morning in 1920s England) Setting helps to provide background!

Setting and Character Setting can reveal a great deal about a character. Ex: Zaroff lived in a “palatial chateau” and owned the “finest” silver and china. What does this reveal about Zaroff?

Setting and Mood Setting can provide atmosphere and mood. For example: If a story is set in a lush garden, it can provide the reader with tranquility and happiness. If a story is set at night in a lonely house, the reader may be fearful or uneasy.

Personification Definition: Gives human characteristics to something that is not human – an animal, an object, or an idea

Personification When we say that a cough is stubborn or love is blind, we are using a kind of personification. Personification is yet another way to use imagination to give meaning to the whole nonhuman world. Now create your own example and share...

Personification Examples Oreo: Milk’s favorite cookie Oreo: Milk’s favorite cookie The trees swayed in the moonlight. The trees swayed in the moonlight. The sun woke up and greeted me this morning. The sun woke up and greeted me this morning. My dog glanced at me as I searched through my room looking for a clean shirt. My dog glanced at me as I searched through my room looking for a clean shirt.

Oxymoron An oxymoron is a contradictory word pair. For example: - A jumbo shrimp- A baby giant - Deafening silence- Bad health - Detailed summary- Honest crook

Tone The attitude the writer takes toward a subject, character or audience. It is conveyed through the writer’s choice of words and details. The attitude the writer takes toward a subject, character or audience. It is conveyed through the writer’s choice of words and details. For example: For example: "Don't talk to me about voting or politics. I'm not interested. All politicians are self-serving and corrupt. My vote won't change a thing.“ What tone is this speaker taking?
