Irony is often used for critical or humorous effect in literature, music, art, and film. In conversation, people often use verbal irony to express humour, affection, or emotion, by saying the opposite of what they mean to somebody who is expected to recognize the irony. “I hate you” can mean “I love you”—but only if the person you’re saying it to already knows that! This definition is, of course, related to the first one (as we expect people’s words to reflect their meaning) and in most cases, it can be considered a form of sarcasm. 

What is the irony in the pictures?  What is the effect?

1. She gets soaked wet. Humorous effect/ form of sarcasm: she doesn't think it very nice weather

2. He is quite relaxed, but we think to know what is going to happen.

3. The announcement is a contradiction/ form of sarcasm

3. What is written in/on the stone is contradictory with its meaning

What are onomatopoeias? Words that sound like what they describe.

Onomatopoeia refers to words whose pronunciations imitate the sounds they describe. Onomatopoeia can also be used to describe the gears of machines working, the horn of a car honking, animals croaking or barking.

Another common example of onomatopoeias are the sounds made by water:

Rain pitter-patters, drip-drops, and rat-a-tats on the tin roof. Creeks babble and churn. Lakes ripple. Rivers rush. Oceans crash, roar, and thunder against the shore

Name the onomatopoeias in the poem

Examples: swishing, zigzagging, splashing, grunting, roaring, screaming

Look at the picture. How do we call this literary device? Example in short stories?

Example 1

Allie likes all alliterations!

Example 2

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

Example 3

Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers.

This is used to enhance the writer's beauty in language and fluency in reading. You can also remember it easily, like they use it marketing. As people couldn't read or write in the early days, this was used to memorise stories or poems.

Explanation in view: allitaration

The big stairs led up to a big house with a big front door. Breathe, breathe, breathe, I told myself. I only have to stay for one second, be afraid for one second, not scream for one second. I can do it. I can win the bet. I can prove I’m brave. This is called:

This is called...... Why do you think writers use this?

Explanation in view: assonance

In alliteration or repetition, words that begin with the same sound are placed close together, usually to make the meaning of what is being said stronger. Alliteration often involves repetition of letters but most importantly, it is a repetition of sounds.

What is Imagery?

It is the use of language to create representations of actions, objects and ideas in our mind in such a way that they appeal to our physical senses (eyes, ears, nose, etc.). For example:

• The room was dark and gloomy. -The words “dark” and “gloomy” are visual images.

• The river was roaring in the mountains. – The word “roaring” appeals to our sense of hearing.

Example 1

Imagery using visuals:

The night was black as ever, but bright stars lit up the sky in beautiful and varied constellations which were sprinkled across the astronomical landscape.

Imagery using sounds:

Silence was broken by the peal of piano keys as Shannon began practicing her concerto.

Here, auditory imagery breaks silence with the beautiful sound of piano keys.

Imagery using scent:

She smelled the scent of sweet hibiscus wafting through the air, its tropical smell a reminder that she was on vacation in a beautiful place. 

The scent of hibiscus helps describe a scene which is relaxing, warm, and welcoming.

Imagery using taste:

The candy melted in her mouth and swirls of bittersweet chocolate and slightly sweet but salty caramel blended together on her tongue. 

Thanks to an in-depth description of the candy’s various flavours, the reader can almost experience the deliciousness directly.

Imagery using touch:

After the long run, he collapsed in the grass with tired and burning muscles. The grass tickled his skin and sweat cooled on his brow.

In this example, imagery is used to describe the feeling of strained muscles, grass’s tickle, and sweat cooling on skin.

first chapter: An Early Fright, 11th paragraph

…..the nursery it was called, though I had it all to myself, was a large room in the upper story of the castle[…..] and all of such lore as makes us cover up our heads when suddenly the door cracks, or the flicker of an expiring candle makes the shadow of a bedpost dance upon the wall, nearer to our faces……

What is Plot Twist:

In literature, film, television, and even video games, a plot twist is an unsuspected turn of events in the story that completely changes the direction or outcome of the plot from the direction it was likely to go. It’s a hugely popular and frequently used technique in fiction. Plot twists are designed to disrupt things in a story that the audience thinks they already know or have figured out. The author achieves this “twisting” of the plot by providing a huge shock or surprise, one that is either completely unexpected, or was perhaps foreshadowed through earlier details or events.

What is a narrator?
Mention example of 1st, 2nd and 3rd person

I- form (Carmilla) (Tell-Tale) (Death by Scrabble)

You form, used as a general narrator to the reader.

3rd: The Sniper

1st person: “I walked to the fridge and opened a bottle of coke.” The person who writes the story writes it form his or her perspective.

2nd person: This is not often used. This is what it looks like: You walk to the store and you buy a newspaper.

3rd person: Writing in third person is writing from the third-person point of view, or outsider looking in, and uses pronouns like he, she, it, or they. It differs from the first person, which uses pronouns such as I and me, and from the second person, which uses pronouns such as you and yours.

Writing in the third-person provides flexibility and objectivity. In fiction writing, it enables the narrator to be all-knowing. The personal pronouns used in third-person writing are he, she, it, they, him, her, them, his, her, hers, its, their, and theirs.

• "He is just what a young man ought to be," said she, "sensible, good humoured, lively; and I never saw such happy manners!-so much ease, with such perfect good breeding!" - Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice  

• "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." - George Orwell, 1984

• "Their commander was a middle-aged corporal-red-eyed, scrawny, tough as dried beef, sick of war. He had been wounded four times-and patched up, and sent back to war." - Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

• "She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes"

- Lord Byron, "She Walks in Beauty"
