Perspective

Eye-level:

more personal contact

Bird's eye view:

overview/give details/give sense

of scale

Worm's eye view:

Foreboding/helplessness/give extra

effect to scenes

Theme

An  abstract idea or concept explored in a literary work (usually a bit hidden). One work may have a multiple themes.

Ps. Only after you've read the book you usually 

discover the themes

Symbolism

In literature, symbolism is the use of a concrete image to represent an abstract idea.

How to find it:

You can recognize symbolism when an image in a piece of text seems to indicate something other than its literal meaning. It might be repeated or seem somewhat jarring, as if the author is intentionally pointing it out (and they might be—though authors don’t always do this).

Examples

Color: 

red > angry, jealousy, 

Animals:

> Butterfly = transformation

> Lion = royalty, strength

Common objects:

Apple = temptation

Chains = imprisonment

“Winter is coming,”

Writers use both similes 

and metaphors 

to paint a literary picture, 

evoke emotions, 

and make text more descriptive.
