  1. Super LoL! Literary Devices Episode 1: The Super League of Frighteningly Happy and Odd Looking Animals’ Adventure! Lexicon, Part 5? 6?

  2. Point of View Head of the Terrible Belligerent Robot Band • The vantage point or perspective from which a story is told • Includes an awareness of speaker’s tone or attitude. I beep hate Super LoLbeep.

  3. First Person Point of View I knew that the leader of the Terrible BRB hated the Super LoL, so I thought, if I could just destroy the Super LoL, I might get promoted to Terribot! Definition • Tells the story with the first person pronoun, “I,” and is a character in the story. • This narrator can be the protagonist, a secondary character, or an observing character.

  4. Third Person Point of View Definition And so, though they were unaware, the Super LoL were at great risk, for Hover, and that strange worm droid thing of his, and some other belligerent robots were planning a horrible attack… • Relates the events with the third person pronouns, “he,” “she,” and “it.” • third person omniscient- the narrator, with godlike knowledge, presents the thoughts and actions of any or all characters • third person limited omniscient, in which the narrator presents the feelings and thoughts of only one character, presenting only the actions of all the remaining characters.

  5. Hmmm… Maybe I SHOULD get ice cream… Aphorism Definition Examples “To be great is to be misunderstood.” Ralph Waldo Emerson “A penny saved is a penny earned.” - Benjamin Franklin • A terse statement of known authorship which expresses a general truth or a moral principle. • Can be a memorable summation of the author’s point. Hey Hart, “Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of.”

  6. Epigram Definition Examples What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole;Its body brevity, and wit its soul.—Samuel Taylor Coleridge Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go. • Brief, pointed statement, with elevated style that often uses rhetorical devices, such as parallelism. • Distinction: aphorism is closer to a proverb (moral); epigram is a brief jewel of words “Always forgive your enemies: nothing annoys them so much.” “A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.” “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”

  7. Epigraph Definition Example Peter uses an epigraph at the beginning of his article: “ We pressed a thought into the wayside,planted an impression along the verge. - from "Marginalia" by Billy Collins • The use of a quotation at the beginning of a work that hints at its theme. Hmmm… I want ice cream

  8. Anecdote Definition Example In “On the Decay of the Art of Lying,” Twain uses an anecdote about the woman who silently lies about her nurse by not filling in negative information. This one time, when I was a young member of the Terrible BRB, I destroyed the ROFL League real good. I just left the room. They thought it was for a second, but it wasn’t… Mwahaha • A short, simple narrative of an incident • Often used for humorous effect or to make a point • Appeals to Pathos

  9. Parable Definition Example The prodigal son and other parables in the Bible! • Ashort tale that teaches a moral I know you want ice cream now. But remember the story about the impatient gazelle… You know what the belligerent robotic lion did to it…

  10. And so all the Super LoL members go to Yogurtland…

  11. Only to find…

  12. Noooooo! Hehehe…

  13. Apostrophe Definition Examples “Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon…” – Romeo • A figure of speech that directly addresses an absent or imaginary person or a personified abstraction, such as liberty or love. • It is an address to someone or something that cannot answer. • May add familiarity or emotional intensity. Ice cream! Where are you when I need you?

  14. Flashback Definition Example • Interrupts chronological work to tell of earlier time. • Breaks from chronology for plot, theme, or stylistic reasons. Wait a second…

  15. Theme Definition • The central idea or message of a work, the insight it offers into life. • Usually theme is unstated in fictional works, but in nonfiction, the theme may be directly stated, especially in expository or argumentative writing. Ice cream makes everything better.
