Word that sounds the same as, or similar to what the word means. "Boom goes the dynamite." "Bang!" "Bark." (comic books) Oxymoron A term made of two words that deliberately or coincidentally imply each other's opposite. "terrible beauty" Paradox A phrase that describes an idea composed of concepts that conflict. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." (A Tale of Two Cities) Parody Ridicule by overstated imitation, usually humorous. MAD Magazine Pastiche Using forms and styles from another author, generally as an affectionate tribute. Such as the many stories featuring Sherlock Holmes not written by Arthur Conan Doyle, or much of the Cthulhu Mythos. Pathos Emotional appeal, one of the three modes of persuasion in rhetoric that the author uses to inspire pity or sorrow towards a character—typically does not counterbalance the target character's suffering with a positive outcome, as in Tragedy. In Romeo and Juliet, the two main characters each commit suicide at the sight of the supposedly dead lover, however the audience knows these actions to be rash and unnecessary. Therefore, Shakespeare makes for the emotional appeal for the unnecessary tragedy behind the young characters' rash interpretations about love and life. Polyptoton Words derived from the same root in a sentence. "Not as a call to battle, though embattled we are." John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address, January 20, 1961. Polysyndeton Polysyndeton is the use of several conjunctions in close succession, this provides a sense of exaggeration designed to wear down the audience. An example of this is in the first chapter of Great Expectations by Charles Dickens: "A man who had been soaked in water, and smothered in mud, and lamed by stones, and cut by flints, and stung by nettles, and torn by briars; who limped, and shivered, and glared and growled; and whose teeth chattered in his head as he seized me by the chin" Satire The use of humor, irony or exaggeration to criticize. An example is Network. One of the earliest examples is Gullivers Travels, written by Jonathan Swift. The television program South Park is another. Sensory detail Sight, sound, taste, touch, smell. The same as imagery. The boot was tough and sinewy between his hard-biting teeth. There was no flavor to speak of except for the blandness of all the dirt that the boot had soaked up over the years. The only thing the boot reminded him of was the smell of a wet-dog. Understatement A diminishing or softening of a theme or effect. The broken ends of the long bone were sticking through the bleeding skin, but it wasn't something that always killed a man. Title drop Line of dialogue used to announce the name of the piece. In The Breakfast Club, the final line is "Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club". |
