  9. What is the difference between figurative and literal? Literal • Concrete, realistic language used by the author that means exactly what it says. 2. Surface-level characters, events, settings, quotes, etc. that have been presented realistically but could represent something more. Figurative • Abstract, creative language that compares unlike things, exaggerates, or otherwise means something other than what it says. • Subterranean-level interpretation by the reader of what literal characters, events, settings, etc. represent.

  10. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE: IT’S LIKE A SIMILE – a comparison of two unlike things using the words like or as. Examples of simile: • “Life is like a box ofchocolates.” • “The girl is as beautiful as a rose.” • “The willow is like an etching…”

  11. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:IT IS A METAPHOR – a comparison of two unlike things without using the words like or as. Examples of metaphor: • “My father is a tall, sturdy oak.” • “The hotel is a diamond in the sky.” • “who knows if the moon’s a balloon…”

  12. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:PERSONIFICATION – the giving of human qualities to an animal, object, or idea. Examples of personification: • “Hungersatshivering on the road.” • “The flowersdanced on the lawn.” • The winds of tropical storm Sandy yelled at my window all night long.

  13. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:HYPERBOLE - an exaggerated statement used to make a point. Examples of hyperbole: • “I laughed so hard I split my sides.” • “I could sleep for a year.” • “This book weighs a ton.”

  14. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:IDIOM • a familiar expression that has been culturally adopted; it says one thing but means something entirely different. Examples of idiom: • “She’s just pulling my leg.” • “It’s raining cats and dogs.” • “He sure has a bee in his bonnet.”

  16. Satire What is it? • Satire is a literary genre that uses irony, wit, and sometimes sarcasm to expose humanity’s vices and foibles, giving impetus, or momentum, to change or reform through ridicule. • It is a manner of writing that mixes a critical attitude with wit and humor in an effort to improve mankind and human institutions.

  17. Satire What is the message of this satirical cartoon?

  18. Two types of Direct Satire Horatian satire is a type of direct satire which pokes fun at human foibles with a witty even indulgent tone. Juvenalian satire is a type of direct satire which denounces, sometimes with invective, human vice and error in dignified and solemn tones.

  19. Horatian Satire It seeks to criticize, rather than attack, immorality or stupidity. In general, Horatian satire is gentler, more sympathetic, and more tolerant of human folly. Unlike Juvenalian satire, it serves to make us laugh at human folly as opposed to attacking a specific person or group.

  20. Horatian Satire What is the message of this satirical cartoon?

  21. Juvenalian Satire It is harsher than Horatian satire because it often attacks and shows contempt for people. Often, it seeks to address some evil in society through scorn and ridicule. The Juvenalian satirist approaches his work in a more serious manner and uses dignified language to attack erroneous thinking or vice.

  22. Juvenalian Satire What is the message of this satirical cartoon?

  23. Irony - a mode of expression, through words or events, conveying a reality different from and usually opposite to appearance or expectation.

  24. Sarcasm (verbal irony)

  25. Litotes are a form of understatement that involves making an affirmative point by denying its opposite. • “Being tortured with fire must have been somewhat uncomfortable.” • “Rap videos with dancers in them are not uncommon.“ • “There are a few Starbucks in America."

  26. Hyperbole

  27. A caricature is an exaggeration or other distortion of an individual's prominent features or characteristics to the point of making that individual appear ridiculous.

  28. Wit- clever expression, whether aggressive or harmless
