Pre-AP English II: Things You Should Know for Your Six-Weeks' Exam

You should know the following literary terms for tomorrow's 6-weeks' exam:

• Alliteration
• Allusion
• Anaphora
• Flashback
• Foreshadowing
• Hyperbole
• Imagery
• Metaphor
• Mood
• Paradox
• Personification
• Simile
• Tone

You should also be aware of this new term:
Metonymy: a figure of speech where someone or something isn't called by its own name, but by the name of something closely associated with it. For instance, instead of saying that President Obama or his spokesperson announced something, you could say "The White House" announced it. It means it came from the president (the White House can't actually talk).

While you're learning new things, make sure you know the meanings of these words (you already should, but in case you don't...).

• Antlers
• Elusive
• Forbade
• Idly

Also, be sure to review your notes for responding to an open-ended or short-response question.
