  1. Lit Terms of Doom…. Not really, also in alphebetical order By Ben Le

  2. Ballad • A narrative poem or song, rhythmic. It glorifies all in it to fame or infamy in the heroic kind. In the romantic it’s like a love story. • The Devil Went Down to Georgia By Charlie Daniels is a heroic ballad. • Crying in the Chapel by Elvis is of the romantic sort.

  3. The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too. "And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you."Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard.And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.But if you lose, the devil gets your soul. The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow. And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss. Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son."But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done." Fire on the moun, run boys, run.The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.Chicken in the bread pin, pickin' out dough."Granny, does your dog bite?""No, child, no."The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again."I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."And he played fire on the mount, run boys, run.The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.Chicken in the bread pin pickin' out dough."Granny, does your dog bite?""No, child, no." 

  4. Couplet • Two successive lines that usually rhyme on the ends, are in the same meter and make a complete thought. • Ex. “Whether or not we find what we are seeking is idle, biologically speaking.” — Edna St. Vincent Millay

  5. End Rhyme • Your stereotypical rhyme scheme of a poem, be it feminine or masculine. • Ex: G-Dragon in gara gara GO by Big Bang It’s on hear the beat pump through the speakersMan the myth the hope of the futureGD is me in the flesh top to bottom so freshly dressedI am here to get downLose control take hold of the soundBring it o-o-o-off the groundBig bang no doubtWe goin’ turn it out for sure

  6. Epiphany! • Those lovely “AHA!” moments for the character. Usually they find realization of significance in something that they never thought of. • EX: In the ARPG The World Ends With You, the main character realizes that though people are better off not bonding, that without bonding people can never truly be themselves and thus can never truly live. After this realization, he opens up to people and loses his headphones that “block out” other people.

  7. Before epiphany; "Outta my face! You're blocking my view! Shut up! Stop talking...just go the hell away! All the world needs is me... I got my values, so you can keep yours, alright? I don't get people. Never have, never will.“ • After: Same streets, same crowds too. Yeah, Shibuya hasn’t changed a bit. But still, I don’t think I can forgive you yet. You don’t see it, but... those few weeks were very hard for me. Learning to trust people, having that trust broken... Finding out the town I pegged as small, and stifling, and empty... wasn’t any of those things. I’m glad I met you guys. You made me... pick up on things I probably would’ve just gone on ignoring. "Trust your partner." And I do. I can’t forgive you, but I trust you. You took care of things, right? Otherwise, Shibuya would be gone... and my world with it. Hey, did I mention? I’ve got friends now! We’re getting together for the first time in a week! See you there...?

  8. Harmartia • The flaw/s of a character that leads to his downfall. This may be a lack of morals or just ignorance of the consequence. • In the 1999 film Tarzan, Clayton the hunter is flawed by greed to hunt gorillas and later by blind rage as he ignores Tarzan’s warning of the vine around his neck. He’s strangled (his downfall). It can be also said he is flawed with being prejudice as he clearly sees Tarzan as a lower being like the gorillas he hunts instead of a nice caring human.

  9. Narrative Hook • An essential clincher of the reader’s attention to keep reading. It can be as small as a sentence or as long as the whole first chapter. Usually offers a question with the answer in later text. • “Call me Ishmael.” Well sir, why call you Ishmael? I want to know why that name/title and not Bob/ect. (Moby Dick by Hermann Melville) • “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” Whoa, 13? Are you on military time? Is it unlucky to walk about now? (1984 by George Orwell)

  10. Round Character • The character people like and can actually believe is real or has a real life counter-part. They usually do act and think as what the layman would do and think, as well as grow and develop complexities. • In Tale of Two Cities, Jarvis Lorry is very flat and stays the same. Business Business! On the other hand, Sydney Carton grows from a drunk, hesitant, obedient lawyer to a man who stood up for what is right and acts on love instead of orders. He gets out of self pity, and wastes his life no more.
