11. What is a THEME, and how should it be written?
A theme is a message in the story that can be stated using a complete sentence and is UNIVERSAL— meaning it applies not only to the story, but also to life in general across time, space, culture, etc.

12. Allegory
Although an allegory uses symbols, it is different from symbolism. An allegory is a complete narrative that involves characters and events that stand for an abstract idea or event. A symbol, on the other hand, is an object that stands for another object, giving it a particular meaning. Unlike allegory, symbolism does not tell a story. 

13. Archetype
An archetype is a typical character, an action, or a situation that seems to represent universal patterns of human nature.
An archetype, also known as “universal symbol,” may be a character, a theme, a symbol, or even a setting.

14. Anecdote
Anecdote is defined as a short and interesting story, or an amusing event, often proposed to support or demonstrate some point

15. Anaphora
In writing or speech, the deliberate repetition of the first part of the sentence in order to achieve an artistic effect is known as Anaphora.

16. Tone
Tone, in written composition, is an attitude of a writer toward a subject or an audience. Tone is generally conveyed through the choice of words, or the viewpoint of a writer on a particular subject.

17. Mood
Mood is a literary element that evokes certain feelings or vibes in readers through words and descriptions.

18. Imagery
Descriptive language that appeals to the 5 senses—sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing.

19. Irony
Irony is a situation that ends up in quite a different way than what is generally anticipated. In simple words, it is a difference between appearance and reality.

20. Simile
A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things. Unlike a metaphor, a simile draws resemblance with the help of the words “like” or “as.” Therefore, it is a direct comparison.
