  1. Literary Terms Project Kayla Lewis Ms. Curtis AP English, Period 5 23 September 2011

  2. DidacticThe teaching of moral and ethical principles Examples • The story of The Tortoise and the Hare teaches people that “slow and steady wins the race” • Little Red Riding Hood teaches not to talk to strangers • The Three Little Pigs teaches that those who put effort into projects are more successful ("Lilliputiens Three Little Pigs Houses.“)

  3. EuphemismNice way of saying something harsh Examples • “Correctional facility” = Prison • “Passed away” = Died • “Rest room” = Bathroom (Euphemism List)

  4. Extended MetaphorRepetitive comparison that claims one object is another Examples • “All the world's a stage, / And all the men and women merely players; / They have their exits and their entrances” (As You Like It). • “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? /It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! /Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, /Who is already sick and pale with grief.”(Romeo and Juliet). • “To die, to sleep— / No more, and by a sleep to say we end / the heartache and the thousand natural shocks / That flesh is heir to. "tis a consumation / Devoutlly to be wished. To die, to sleep, / to sleep—perchance to dream.” (Hamlet).

  5. Figurative LanguageStatement that doesn’t have literal meaning Examples • Metaphor: “You are what you eat.” • Alliteration: “She sells seashells by the seashore. “ • Personification: “My teddy bear gave me a hug.” (What is Figurative Language) (Standards Shots)

  6. Figures of SpeechRhetorical strategies that have different meanings than what is actually stated Examples • Rhetoric: “If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?”- Billy Corgan • Pun: “Santa’s helpers are subordinate Clauses.” • Oxymoron: “A stripper's dressing room” (Figures of Speech Examples) (Speech Preparation)
