  1. VOCAB #10 EOG and Literary Elements

  2. Irony (n) • the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning; sarcasm • My teacher can use quite a bit of irony in class. For example: “Can I tell you guys how much I love making cards of missing work for you on the weekends?” • Evelyn smacked herself in the face with her notebook and Carina said, ironically, “Wow, that was smart!”

  3. PUN

  4. Pun (n) • a joke that uses a different meaning of a word • I don't think I need a spine. It's holding me back. • Sleeping comes so naturally to me, I could do it with my eyes closed. • I used to be addicted to soap, but I'm clean now. • I relish the fact that you've mustard the strength to ketchup to me.

  5. NARRATOR

  6. Narrator(n) • person who tells the story • Sometimes, the main character of the story is the narrator, or the one who tells the reader what’s going on in the story. • The narrator of the play bumbled through the story skipping over words, pausing too long in between sentences, and using an accent that no one could understand.

  7. DIALOGUE

  8. Dialogue (n) • conversation between two or more people • In the middle of a dialogue between my mom and dad, my younger brother bolted into the room, shot them with his Nerf gun, and sprinted off down the hall, thus ending their important conversation.

  9. TONE “You did what?”she said disapprovingly. “You did what?” he laughed in surprise.

  10. Tone (n) • the way in which written words might be said • I could tell by my Mom’s tone when she said “Come here”, that she was not happy to see me. • As a way to make my brother not want to beat me up for destroying his piñata collection, I used an innocent tone when I said I was sorry.

  11. SYMBOLISM

  12. Symbolism (n) • The use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. • No, for me the change is within. If you look at the sturdy and heavily creased pumpkin of Autumn, you can see how the sun changes the skin and nourishes the vine all the while the inside is turning to mush, like heavily curdled, stringy milk. I don’t think I’m like that. The Fall doesn’t make me presentable on the outside and squishy within. Instead, I console myself, knowing that the pumpkin rind, a protective barrier, is my inside. Perhaps I am a pumpkin inside out, fleshy and soft on the surface, with a rigid fortress as my heart. • It was the fourth time I had seen a dove in the past week. I knew things were going to be alright.

  13. Passage (n) • a piece of writing • Our dear teacher asked us to read a passage out of our AR books every night before we went to bed.

  14. Prediction I predict it will rain later because the sky is gray and there are a lot of clouds.

  15. Predict (v) • make a smart guess about what might happen next • After she checked to see that few people were watching, I saw Daniela pick up the wiggly, red piece of Jell-O and stare down Brook. I could predict her next move: flinging the Jell-O in her hair.

  16. Narrative

  17. Narrative (n) • Story • The narrative of my life? Huh, that would include a bratty brother who throws snarky remarks at me, a cat who bites my feet when I eat my cereal, and my habit of being late to everything. • Yes, student, narrative and story are synonyms.

  18. MANUSCRIPT Bella: Edward, I am afraid of the cold. Edward: Bella, life is cold. [Edward moves to the window. Bella turns and faces the wall.]

  19. Manuscript (n) • the play form of a book when making a movie • Emma looked over the manuscript that the director gave her from JK Rowling’s novels. She did her best imitation of Hermione Grainger, brilliant wizard of Hogwarts, when auditioning for the part in the movie.
