Identifying and Correcting Literary Terminology Errors
In literature, a metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'. For example, 'Time is a thief' suggests that time steals moments from our lives. An allegory is a story that uses characters and events as symbols to convey a moral or political message. In the poem, the poet uses a caesura, a pause in the middle of a line, to emphasize the emotion. The climax is the turning point where the story reaches its highest tension. When analyzing poetry, look for the volta, a sudden change in the poem's mood or perspective. Many stories also contain a flashback, which is an interruption to show past events. It is important to distinguish between a simile, which uses 'like' or 'as', and a metaphor, which does not. The author used personification to give human qualities to the wind. Remember, a foil character is one who contrasts with the main character to highlight particular traits.
