Tuesday October 27th, 2015 Literary Device Notes

Personfication is:

ì ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì The __________________________________________________________ are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the ability to ________________________________________________________.

ì Personification is not merely a decorative device but it serves the purpose of giving deeper meanings to literary texts. It adds vividness to expressions as we always look at the world from a human perspective. Writers and poets rely on personification to bring inanimate things to life, so that their nature and actions are understood in a better way. Because it is easier for us to relate to something that is human or that possesses human traits. Its use encourages us to develop a perspective that is new as well as creative.

Personfication Examples:

ì “The fire swallowed the entire forest.”

ì What is the literal meaning of the sentence above? ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì “The flowers danced in the gentle breeze.”


ì “The run down house appeared depressed.”


Personification Practice: ì With your elbow partner create a sentence that uses personification.

ì Write one sentence on ANGER.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì Write one sentence on STRENGTH. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Simile is:

ì ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì Unlike a __________________________________________, a _______________________________________ draws resemblance with the help of the words “like” or “as”. Therefore, it is a direct comparison.

ì We can find simile examples in our daily speech. We often hear comments like “John is as slow as a snail.” Snails are notorious for their slow pace and here the slowness of John is compared to that of a snail. The use of “as” in the example helps to draw the resemblance.

Simile Examples: ì “Our soldiers are as brave as lions.”


ì “Her cheeks are red like a rose.”


ì “He is as funny as a monkey.”


Simile Practice:

Subject With your elbow partner write similes about the subjects listed below. Remember to make a connection using “like” or “as.”

Literary Device Notes

Conflict is:

ì ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì Conflict is necessary to propel a narrative forward; the absence of _____________________________ amounts to the absence of ________________________________________________

ì There are two main kinds of conflict in stories: __________________________ and _____________________.

External Conflict is:

ì ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì Characters may face several types of ______________________________________________

ì The outside force may be __________________________________________________

ì It may be the ______________________________________ or __________________________________________

ì The outside force may also be forces of __________________________________________.

ì For example, a story might be the main character struggling against the arctic cold.

Internal Conflict is:

ì ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________

ì For example, a character may have to decide between _____________________________ and

_________________________ or between two solutions to a problem. Sometimes, a character must deal with his or her own mixed feelings or emotions.

ì Character vs. _____________________________________

So, what’s the difference?:

ì An internal conflict is just that– a conflict that takes place internally. This is better known as character vs. self.

ì An external conflict is a conflict that can be seen physically. We know external conflicts as character vs. character, character vs. nature, and character vs. society.

Conflict Examples/Practice:

ì ______________________________________________________: A situation in which two characters have opposing desires or interests. The typical scenario is a conflict between the protagonist and antagonist.

ì (Harry Potter vs. Voldemort)

ì ______________________________________________________: In this type of conflict, a character must take on society itself, and not a single person. The character stands at odds with societal norms and realizes the necessity to work against these norms.

ì (Shrek vs. Society)

ì ______________________________________________________: In this type of conflict, a character is tormented by natural forces such as storms or animals.

ì (Moby Dick vs. White Whale)

ì ______________________________________________________: This conflict develops from a protagonist’s inner struggles, and may depend on a character trying to decide between good and evil or overcome self-doubts. This conflict has both internal and external aspects, as obstacles outside the protagonist force the protagonist to deal with inner issues.

ì (Ponyboy vs. Greaser Identity)

Conflict Practice: Determine the type of conflict below (CC, CS, CN, Self)
