Literary Techniques Simple Guide for Students
By: Maelynn D. Cortez
Authors use various literary techniques to enhance their writing and create a more engaging and impactful story. Some common literary methods include:
1. Imagery: Descriptive language that appeals to the senses and creates vivid mental images for the reader.
2. Symbolism: The use of symbols to represent ideas or concepts beyond their literal meaning.
3. Metaphor: A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things without using "like" or "as."
4. Simile: A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things using "like" or "as."
5. Foreshadowing: Hinting at events that will occur later in the story.
6. Irony: A contrast between what is expected and what happens.
7. Alliteration: The repetition of initial consonant sounds in neighboring words.
8. Personification: Giving human characteristics to non-human objects or animals.
9. Flashback: A scene that interrupts the chronological sequence of events to provide background information.
10. Hyperbole: Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.
