Literary Terms Reference Writing 1.12 Metaphor a comparison made by calling one item another item. Examples: "theevening of life," "sunshine of our love," “love is a rose.” Simile a comparison using "like" or "as" Examples: "As snug as a bug in a rug," "he drinks like a fish," “Life is like a box of chocolates.” Personification to think of or represent an inanimate object as a person. Examples: "The rocks will cry out his name," "the planets danced in their orbits," the car sputtered angrily,” "Justice is blind."Consider the following lines from Carl Sandburg's "Chicago:"  Stormy,husky, brawling,  Cityof the big shoulders: Alliteration the repetition of the same consonant sounds or different vowel sounds at the beginning of words or stressed syllables. Examples: "sevenswans aswimming," "even Alice's otter ate the icecream," Onomatopoeia A literary device wherein the sound of a word echoes the sound it represents. Examples: “buzz,”“crackle,” “shatter,” “splash," "knock," and "roar" Symbolism– A device in literature where an object represents an idea. Example: InWilliam Blake's "The Lamb," the speaker tells the lamb that the force that made him or her is also called a lamb: Little lamb, who made thee? Little lamb, who made thee? Little lamb, I'll tell thee, Little lamb, I'll tell thee!  Heis called by thy name,  Forhe calls himself a lamb; The symbol of the lamb in the above lines corresponds to the symbolism of the lamb in Christianity wherein Christ is referred to as The Lamb of God Foreshadowing– Foreshadowing refers to a clue which suggests a later event in the plot, or the outcome of the story. Example: InShakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo's expression of fear in Act 1, scene 4 foreshadows the catastrophe to come:  Ifear too early; for my mind misgives  Someconsequence yet hanging in the stars  Shallbitterly begin his fearful date  Withthis night's revels and expire the term  Ofa despised life closed in my breast  Bysome vile forfeit of untimely death.  ButHe that hath the steerage of my course,  Directmy sail! On, lusty gentlemen Rhyme Special kinds of rhyme (also spelled rime)The similar sound between at the end of two or more lines of poetry. include:Couplet:a pair of lines rhyming consecutively.Eye rhyme:words whose spellings would lead one to think that they rhymed (slough, tough, cough, bough, though, hiccough. Or: love, move, prove. Or: daughter, laughter.) Re etitionhasis or effect.ain for emhrase over aof a word orThe writin Example: thelast stanza from Robert Frost’s Stopping By Woods on a Snowy EveningThe woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
The HighwaymanPart One
By Alfred Noyes IThe wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding Ridingriding The highwayman came riding, up to the old inndoor. II He'd a French cockedhat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin, A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doeskin; They fitted with never a wrinkle: his boots were up to the thigh! And he rode with a jewelled twinkle, His pistol butts atwinkle, His rapier hilt atwinkle, under the jewelled sky. III Over the cobbles he clattered and clashed in the dark innyard, And he tapped with his whip on the shutters, but all was locked and barred; He whistled a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord's blackeyed daughter,  Bess,the landlord's daughter, Plaiting a dark red loveknot into her long black hair. IV And dark in the old innyard a stablewicket creaked Where Tim the ostler listened; his face was white and peaked; His eyes were hollows of madness, his hair like mouldy hay, But he loved the landlord's daughter, The landlord's redlipped daughter, Dumb as a dog he listened, and he heard the robber say V "One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I'm after a prize tonight, But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light; Yet, if they press me sharply, and harry me through the day, Then look for me by moonlight, Watch for me by moonlight, I'll come to thee by moonlight, though hell should bar the way." VI He rose upright in the stirrups; he scarce could reach her hand, But she loosened her hair i' the casement! His face burnt like a brand As the black cascade of perfume came tumbling over his breast; And he kissed its waves in the moonlight, (Oh, sweet black waves in the moonlight!) Then he tugged at his rein in the moonlight, and galloped away to the West. PreGED 1.12
