Literary Terms 2

Plot The sequence of events in a narrative work. The plot is made up of the following elements: Exposition Rising action Climax Falling action Resolution

Plot (ctd)

Exposition Introduction to the story Reader gets information about the characters, setting, conflicts, etc. “Background information”

Rising Action Occurs in the story as complications, twists, or intensifications of the conflict occurs. The action that leads up to the climax

Climax The emotional high point of the story. The “turning point”

Falling Action The action that follows the climax and leads to the resolution.

Resolution The part of the plot that concludes the falling action by revealing or suggesting the outcome of the conflict.

Setting The time and place in which the events of a story, novel, or play take place. Often helps create atmosphere or mood Not just physical- includes ideas, customs, values, and beliefs of a particular time and place.

Point of view The perspective from which a story is told 1st period 3rd person omniscient 3rd person limited

First person POV The narrator is a character in the story Narrator uses “I” Reader sees everything through the character’s eyes.

3rd person Limited POV Narrator reveals the thoughts, feelings, and observations of only ONE character. Refers to that character as “he” or “she” but is not actually that character.

3rd person omniscient POV “All- knowing” narrator The narrator is not a character in the story, but is someone who stands outside of the action and comments. Knows everything about the characters in the story and may reveal details that the characters couldn’t.

Hyperbole A figure of speech in which great exaggeration is used for emphasis or humorous effect.

Imagery The “word pictures” that writer’s use to help evoke an emotional response in readers. In creating effective imagery, writers use sensory details, or descriptions that appeal to one or more of the five senses. Sight Hearing Touch Taste Smell

Foreshadowing An author’s use of clues that hint at events that will occur later in the plot. Helps to build suspense as well as prepare readers for what is to come.

Man vs Nature A conflict in which a character must overcome a force of nature. External conflict

Man vs gods/fate Man versus fate occurs when a character is compelled to follow an unknown destiny. Man versus fate conflict breeds internal conflict, while forcing a character to consciously, or subconsciously, act on his or her fate. Internal struggle
