Spring 2019 review

a speaker or character who tells a story

the use of clues that suggest events that have yet to occur; hints about the future events

the sequence of events in a literary work

all-knowing third person narrator who can tell readers what any character thinks or feels

the ordinary form of written language that occurs in two forms: fiction and non-fiction

it is up to the reader to draw conclusions about the character based on indirect information such as dialogue, action, thoughts or other characters

a struggle between two opposing forces

word choice including denotation (literal meanings) and connotation (an idea or feeling that a word invokes in addition to its literal meaning). The choice of words an author chooses to use.

the author directly states the character's traits

the time and place of the story's action

events that lead to the resolution

conflict that involves a character in conflict with him or herself (emotions/decisions)

when a voice outside the story tells the story, but only through one character's eyes

a reference to a well-known person, place, event, and literary work

when a character in the story tells the story

all loose ends are tied up; conflict solved, etc...

a conversation between two characters

highest point of interest or suspense; the turning point at which the conflict begins to be resolved; the "ah ha" moment

the person or force that opposes or competes against the protagonist

conflict where a character struggles against an outside force (nature, technology, person, etc.)

introduces the setting, the characters and the basic situation

all events leading up to the climax; introduces the conflict

the main character in a literary work

feeling of curiosity or uncertainty about the outcome of events in a literary work
