  5. LITERARY TERMS Take notes on the following slides…

  6. LITERARY TERMS • DIDACTIC LITERATURE= literature written to teach lessons about how to live a good and moral life. • Can you think of any works of literature that you have read whose sole purposes are to teach a lesson about how to live a good and moral life? • As we read the excepts of Ancient Chinese literature that we will cover, pay attention to what instructions are given for how to live a good and moral life.

  7. LITERARY TERMS • Parallelism= the use of similar grammatical constructions to express ideas that are related or equal in importance. • Example: “Do not ask what your country can do for you: ask what you can do for your country.” (John F. Kennedy) • Example: “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed… I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin…” (Martin Luther King Jr.) • What are the benefits of parallelism? • They are easier to remember • They emphasize the unity of the ideas.

  8. LITERARY TERMS • Irony= the contrast between what is expected and what actually happens or exists. • Example: You go out to a fancy dinner expecting a marriage proposal and you get dumped.  • What is the benefit of using irony in a story? • It shocks the reader into trying to understand the point. • It causes the reader to consider his/her expectations or beliefs and question why he/she has these expectations/beliefs.

  9. LITERARY TERMS • Paradox= a statement that seems contradictory, but is actually true. • Example: For whosoever will save his life shall lose it (Matthew 16:25). • What is the benefit of using paradoxical statements? • The reader has to solve the puzzle of the apparent contradiction in order to understand... • Which makes the reader focus on it more • Which tests the reader’s problem-solving skills.

  10. LITERARY TERMS • Let’s read “from the Analects” of Confucius. • As we read, keep an eye out for… • How this is a didactic teaching • Parallelism • Irony • Maxims
