Multiple choice questions on this activity are designed to be very similar to the questions on your upcoming test, while other activities are designed to help you practice. Do your best and work on your own -- remember, you will not have a friend to help you on the test! When everyone finishes, we will review. 1. Identify the literary element in the following passage: "He was a newcomer in the land, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was not able to imagine. He was quick and ready in the things of life, but only in the things, and notin their meanings. Fifty degrees below zero meant 80 degrees of frost. Such facts told him that it was that it was cold and uncomfortable, and that was all. It did not lead him to consider his weaknesses as a creature affected by temperature ... The dog did not know anything about temperatures. Possibly in its brain there was no understanding of a condition of very cold, such as was in the man’s brain. But the animal sensed the danger. Its fear made it question eagerly every movement of the man as if expecting him to go into camp or to seek shelter somewhere and build a fire. The dog had learned about fire, and it wanted fire. Otherwise, it would dig itself into the snow and find shelter from the cold air." a. Situational Irony b. Foil Characterization c. Symbolism d. Falling Action 2. “It must be understood that neither by word nor deed had I given Fortunato cause to doubt my good will. I continued, as was my wont to smile in his face, and he did not perceive that my to smile now was at the thought of his immolation.” Student A says that this excerpt is a strong example of situational irony. Student B says that this excerpt is a strong example of verbal irony. Which student is correct? (Hint: “wont” means habit, and “immolation” means the act of killing.) a. Both Student A and Student B b. Student A c. Student B d. Neither student is correct 3. Label these examples of irony as verbal, dramatic, or situational. a. _______________________________ It's pouring rain outside, and your friend comments on how nice the weather is today. b. _______________________________ As readers, we know that Fortunato will die because Montresor begins the story by saying so. However, he doesn't know that he will die. c. _______________________________ Zaroff hunts people, although readers would expect a hunter to hunt animals. d. _______________________________ “I would rather have a hunk of aluminum than a diamond necklace.” e. _______________________________ When a princess is saved by an ogre instead of a prince. f. _______________________________ We know that the princess from “The Princess and the Tin Box” loves wealth and beauty, but the fifth prince doesn’t, so he gives her tin. 4. Determine the point of view from the following passage: I was so pleased to see him, that I thought I should never have done wringing his hand. I said to him: “My dear Fortunato, you are luckily met.

He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors.

  • Literary Elements Name Period Date
    Literary Elements Name Period Date Literary elements are what make up the backbone of almost every single story created. A literary element is a broad topic which describes the attributes of a story. These elements are used to create a story in an interesting fashion. Literary elements are divided into many smaller categories. These categories are the better known terms. These include conflict, foreshadowing, climax, irony, theme, motif, etc. Literary elements are often used by famous story writers such as Edgar Allen Poe, Roald Dahl, and many others. Three of the most important elements, that make stories interesting, are foreshadowing, climaxes, and motifs. The first literary element is foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is what helps come up with ideas of what will occur later on. Foreshadowing is widely used in many films such as The Avengers. This occurs when the character Loki states, “No, you have already brought the monster…” This leads to the conclusion that there is someone on board who Loki plans on using. Foreshadowing also appears in the famous story “The Cask of Amontillado.” It is apparent when the character Montressor states, “… and I to your long life.” This makes me think that Fortuanato was not going to be alive for much longer. Foreshadowing also appears in the short story “The Stolen Party.” In which a character tells the main girl, “… because I am her cousin, and I know all her friends, and I don’t know you.” This forms the idea that maybe that girl is right after all. Without foreshadowing, stories would be left bland and boring.

  • Rhetorical Analysis of Film Or TV Shows
    Literary and Film Analysis Analyzing literature and film is a specialized form of rhetorical analysis, which is itself a specialized form of critical analysis and evaluation. Therefore, as background to this document, you may wish to review Chapter 14 “Critical Analysis and Evaluation” and Chapter 15 “Rhetorical Analysis” in Acting on Words, or find out more about those two related forms in another source. “Rhetoric” refers to the art of using language at all levels, from individual words to entire structures. Rhetorical analysis therefore refers to thinking and writing critically about how a piece of writing works. Literary analysis most commonly refers to the analysis of fiction, poetry, plays, or film/TV fiction. We use the term in that sense here, not to express the view that non-fiction lacks literary merit but because fiction and poetry use specialized techniques requiring specialized preparation. Literary analysis looks at how prose fiction, poetry, plays, or films work as specialized rhetoric to express meaning. Literary analysis may also extend its interest to topics and meanings beyond the text in question. Expanded inquiry may involve connections between the works and their authors, readers, historical times and places, and cultures. Inquiry into relationships between literary works and many other fields of knowledge is increasingly common. Two Main Stages of Analysis There are two main stages of critical analysis: 1) breaking your subject down into meaningful parts and relationships and 2) evaluating those according to a standard or standards you deem suitable (logical, practical, ethical, aesthetic, spiritual, etc.). These stages overlap, but it can be helpful to have this basic method in mind to help guide your efforts.

  • Theme, Plot, and Conflict
    ENG125: Introduction to Literature Theme, Plot, and Conflict Purpose: Use this resource to learn about how theme, plot, and conflict are different from one another but yet work together in literature. When reading literature, the reader needs to make a distinction between three key elements: Theme Plot Conflict So what are the differences between these elements? Theme The theme is a common idea that is incorporated and repeated throughout a literary work. A theme is often also called “the moral of the story.” The author uses the characters, plot, and other literary devices to build and enhance the theme. The theme weaves through the entire story and is highlighted by symbols, setting and character actions. Some common themes include: Revenge: Hamlet, Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, A Time to Kill Unrequited Love: Romeo and Juliet, Forest Gump The Journey: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Coming-of-Age: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Perks of Being a Wallflower Pride and Downfall: Macbeth, Downfall (a movie about Hitler’s last days) ENG125: Introduction to Literature Racism: “A Worn Path,” Mississippi Burning Fight Between Good and Evil: “Where are You Going, Where Have You Been,” “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” Superman, The Terminator War is often a theme, though can be represented in different ways: War as futile: All Quiet on the Western Front, Farewell to Arms War as brutal: The Things They Carried, Full Metal Jacket War as glory: Courage Under Fire War as opposing evil: Braveheart, The Dirty Dozen War as tragedy: Schindler’s List, Taking Chance War as survival: The Pianist, Defiance The Effects of War: The Brothers, Sometimes a theme can entwine two different ideas, so that there is a main theme and a minor theme.

Autobiography a detailed description or account of the storyteller s own life. Literary techniques are specific, deliberate constructions of language which an author uses to convey meaning. Narrative techniques are the methods that writers use to give certain artistic and emotional effects to a story. Not until a writer chooses how to present that story in language does it become a narrative.

  • General Guide to Asking Complex Literary Analysis Questions
    Leading Book Discussions With Complexity Intended Audience Parents to use as a guide for asking complex questions about literature Materials • Handout 1: Literary Analysis Wheel—Primary, or • Handout 2: Literary Analysis Wheel Note to Families: The Literary Analysis Wheel is used to guide students through analyzing how an author uses literary techniques to develop meaning within a work. The model allows students to see connections between multiple literary elements (e.g., setting impacts conflict, conflict reveals character motives and values, characterization impacts theme, etc.). Note that there are two versions of the model, the Literary Analysis Wheel—Primary (grades 2–4) and the Literary Analysis Wheel (grades 5 and up). The models differ slightly, as more accelerated elements (such as symbolism and tone) are incorporated into the model for older students. It helps when students have models and frameworks to guide their thinking. The Literary Analysis Wheel can be used to guide students through an analysis of a short story, poem, or novel. First, guide the students to identify elements of the wheel separately (Level 1—Singular Element), and then emphasize a deeper analysis by asking how elements relate to each other (Level 2—Combine Elements). The Literary Analysis Wheel is meant to be interactive. The inner wheel conceptually spins so that its elements interact with each other and the outer wheel. Each element can relate to each other, regardless of its placement on the wheel. Note that although students may write on the wheel, discussion of ideas, especially relationships between combined elements, is encouraged and adds to their complexity of thinking.

  • Outline on Literary Elements
    Outline on Literary Elements The literary quality of a fictional book is based not upon its popularity or the ease with which it can be read, but upon the quality of the literary elements found in the book. The following bold-faced terms are ones which should be understood and used in discussing the literary elements. Please note that these elements apply only to fiction books. Character Character can be revealed through the character's actions, speech, and appearance. It also can be revealed by the comments of other characters and of the author. Certain types of characters appear in many stories. Describe the following types if they appear in your book: • The protagonist is the central character (person, animal, or personified object) in the plot's conflict. • The antagonist is the force in conflict with the protagonist. It may be society, nature, or fate, as well as another person. It can also be the protagonist's own self, if he or she has an internal conflict. • A character foil is a character whose traits are in direct contrast to those of the principal character. The foil therefore highlights the traits of the protagonist. The foil is usually a minor character, although if there are two protagonists, they may be foils of each other. • A stereotype is a character who possesses expected traits of a group rather than being an individual. Using stereotypes is usually considered an indication of poor quality, especially in cases such as members of minority groups, people with disabilities, or women. However, stereotypes can be useful in furthering the story quickly and are acceptable in minor roles if they do not provide hurtful portraits of the groups in question.
