Irony A word or phrase that means the exact opposite of its normal or expected meaning Dramatic Irony – when the reader/audience sees a character’s mistakes or misunderstandings, but the character does not Verbal Irony – when the writer or character says one thing but unknowingly means another (not sarcasm) Situational Irony – when there is a great difference between the purpose of a particular action and the result

Moral / Aphorism Moral = the particular value or lesson the author is trying to get across to the reader Aphorism = a short statement expressing a general truth or principle Ex: “The rotten apple spoils his companions.” Benjamin Franklin

Figure of Speech An interesting or creative comparison used to create a special effect or feeling

Antithesis Using opposite ideas to emphasize a point Example: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

Exaggeration An overstatement or stretching of the truth to emphasize a point Example: “I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse.”

Understatement Using language that is more calm then the situation calls for; to minimize a thing or situation; the opposite of exaggeration Example: “I’m having a bad day.” (action genre)

Simile A comparison between two things using the words like or as Example: “Brian runs like a deer.”

Metaphor A comparison between two things in which the two things are said to be the same thing; no use of the words like or as Example: “Brian is a deer.”

Personification A nonhuman thing is given human characteristics; the thing is like a person Example: “The stubborn rock refused to budge.”

Dialogue Use quotation marks to indicate that a character is speaking. Use a comma to separate the narration and the quote. The dialogue can be at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the sentence. Example: 1. “I have the answer,” remarked Jillian. 2. Jillian remarked, “I have the answer.” 3. “I have,” remarked Jillian, “the answer.” Start a new paragraph every time a different character speaks.
