![]() Analysis of a piece of literature:
Many literature students are expected to be familiar with the basic terms listed below (and discussed in more depth in your text). Keep this study guide with your text. At the beginning of each reading assignment, write the elements of literature pertaining to the particular type of literature at the beginning of the short story or poem. After reading, define them in your text for class discussion, quizzes, and test preparation. To understand literature, it is necessary that you ask yourself certain questions, such as "what is the theme of this story?" or "why does the author use this particular type of imagery?" You are not necessarily reading for pleasure--although it is sincerely hoped you will derive pleasure from your assignments--but for the development of critical analysis skills, so observe the author's style and intent carefully. Short Stories/Novel Theme - The idea or point of a story formulated as a generalization. In American literature, several themes are evident which reflect and define our society. The dominant ones might be innocence/experience, life/death, appearance/reality, free will/fate, madness/sanity, love/hate, society/individual, known/unknown. Themes may have a single, instead of a dual nature as well. The theme of a story may be a mid-life crisis, or imagination, or the duality of humankind (contradictions). Character - Imaginary people created by the writer. Perhaps the most important element of literature.
Plot - The arrangement of ideas and/or incidents that make up a story.
Look for: Repeated elements in action, gesture, dialogue, description, as well as shifts in direction, focus, time, place, etc. Setting - The place or ******** of the action, the setting provides the historical and cultural context for characters. It often can symbolize the emotional state of characters. Point of View - Again, the point of view can sometimes indirectly establish the author's intentions. Point of view pertains to who tells the story and how it is told.
Irony - A contrast or discrepancy between one thing and another.
Allegory - A form of narrative in which people, places, and events seem to have hidden meanings. Often a retelling of an older story. Connotation - The implied meaning of a word. Denotation - The dictionary definition of a word. Diction - Word choice and usage (for example, formal vs. informal), as determined by considerations of audience and purpose. Figurative ******** - The use of words to suggest meanings beyond the literal. There are a number of figures of speech. Some of the more common ones are:
Sound - Do the words rhyme? Is there alliteration (repetition of consonants) or assonance (repetition of vowels)? How does this affect the tone? Structure - The pattern of organization of a poem. For example, a sonnet is a 14-line poem usually written in iambic pentameter. Because the sonnet is strictly constrained, it is considered a closed or fixed form. An open or free form is a poem in which the author uses a looser form, or perhaps one of his or her own invention. It is not necessarily formless. Symbolism - When objects or actions mean more than themselves. Syntax - Sentence structure and word order. Voice: Speaker and Tone - The voice that conveys the poem's tone; its implied attitude toward its subject.
