english 8th grade final review

the turning or point of highest tension

narrator is an outsider but the thoughts and emotions of all the characters are revealed

opposite of what is expected to happen

the perspective from which a story is told

time stops and a character remembers something from the past

the main idea; usually refers to non fiction

the reason why an author wrote a passage

a series of related events chosen by the author that is meant to resolve a conflict is...

the repetition of syllable sounds

narrator is an outsider who reports only the facts

the part of the plot in which the conflict is solved

the part of the plot in which the characters and setting are introduced

human characteristics are given to non human things and events

a contrast between what appears to be and what really is

what makes the reader want to continue reading or hooks them in

the repetition of consonant sounds in the middle of the word

events after the climax that lead to the resolution generally things begin to calm down

the pattern of stressed and unstressed sounds in a poem

the repeating of words or phrases

narrator is a character in the story

when someone says the opposite of what they mean to say (sarcasm)

the person, place, or thing from whose point of view a poem is told

hints of events that will take place in the future

the use of words whose sounds suggest their sense

a reasonable and intelligent conclusion drawn from hints of other information

the repetition of initial consonant sounds

the authors attitude toward a subject or the audience of a literary work

the emotional connection a person may have to a particular word

the pattern set-up by the end words within a poem

concrete details that appeal to the 5 senses

when the audience or reader knows something that the other characters do not

divisions of a poem composed of two or more lines

methods an author uses to describe the character

main character in the story

an extreme exaggeration

events in a story that lead up to the climax generally the action begins to get more intense

the time and place in which a story takes place

a person, place, event, or object that has a meaning in itself but suggests other meanings too

the repetition of vowel sounds in the middle of the words

the main idea of the story

the dictionary definition of a word

an implied comparison between two relatively unlike things

the total feeling in a literary work

a type of writing

who is the best english teacher ever

a problem in the story

any language that goes beyond the literal meaning of words

a direct comparison between 2 unlike things using like or as

narrator is an outsider that knows the thoughts and emotions of only one character

opposes the protagonist
