You should know the following literary terms for tomorrow's 6-weeks' exam:
- Alliteration
- Allusion
- Hyperbole
- Metaphor
- Onomatopoeia
- Oxymoron
- Personification
- Simile
You should also be aware of these terms -- we've mentioned them in class, but they haven't necessarily been emphasized:
Flashback: a figure of speech where reference is made to something that occurs earlier in the story's timeline.
Paradox: a statement that appears self-contradictory but is actually true.
While you're learning new things, make sure you know the meanings of these words (you already should, but in case you don't...).
- Discourteous
- Futile
- Inevitably
- Vulgar
Also, be sure to review your notes for responding to an open-ended or short-response question.
