Example:
The story 'Fatty Legs' is a great example for the themes of 'never give up' and 'stay true to yourself'. Throughout the story the protagonist exemplifies these themes. ]]> 2018-10-10 21:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291491959 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492465 A simile is a figure of speech. Uses the words like or as.
Example:
In 'Never Stop on the Motorway' there is a quote on page 229. "...but he simply swung across behind her like an Olympic runner determined not to allow his rival to break clear." This is a great example as it has very descriptive words to give the reader a visual.]]> 2018-10-10 21:51:55 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492465 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492497 A figure of speech that refers to something by mentioning another.
Example:
In the story 'Fatty Legs' the character Sister MacQuillan is called "The swan protecting her with her gentle wing. We know that she is in fact not really a swan but the author uses the gentle nature of a swan to compare to her nature.]]> 2018-10-10 21:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492497 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492564 The author using vivid and descriptive language to describe a scene
Example:
In the story "Two Islands" the author uses language such as peaceful, tall green trees and fertile soil to describe life on 'Greenel'. This description gives the reader the idea that 'Greenel' is a environmental focused place that is full of greenery  ]]> 2018-10-10 21:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492564 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492640 Irony is when the opposite of what's being said is meant.
Example: One instance of irony is in the story 'Two Islands'. The island 'Graynel' thought that advancing with the rest of society would be a great idea but once they started constructing a bridge the whole idea flopped quite literally.  ]]> 2018-10-10 21:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492640 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492710 Refers to the reasons a character acts in such a way.
Example:
In the story 'Borders' the unnamed main character only referred to as a 'mother' is very resilient in staying true to her native roots so she is motivated to conserve her culture.]]> 2018-10-10 21:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492710 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492720 The emotional and physical place that a story takes. Can be real or fictional or combined.
Example: In 'Fatty Legs' there is a very solemn emotional mood as residential is not what she expected. Also the physical setting is dirty and unliveable.]]> 2018-10-10 21:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492720 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492786 Used to describe events in a story. Usually in chronological order.
Example: The story 'The Necklace' has a very unpredictable plot as there are several instances of excitement. For example when Mathilde lost Madame Forestier's necklace she was in great fear and that made the reader wonder what was going to happen.]]> 2018-10-10 21:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492786 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291492805 Point of view is the perspective that a story is written in ex. first, second or third.
Example: 'Never stop on the Roadway' is written in third person as the pronoun 'she' is used. Ex: "Diana had been hoping to get away by five so she could be at the farm in time for dinner."

Example: On page 223 in 'Never Stop on the Motorway' there is a reference to Radovan Karadzic and his political party.  ]]> 2018-10-10 21:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493252 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493338 Mood is a literary element that evokes certain feeling or vides for the readers through descriptions.
Example:
In the story 'The Necklace' the atmosphere is very stressful. Once Mathilde lost Madame Forestier's necklace her and her husband scrambled for years to gather the 36 thousand francs needed to replace it. In the end Madame Forestier informed them it was only a replica worth 500 francs.

Example:
In the story, 'Never Stop on the Roadway', the author says, "Daniel raised the shotgun to his shoulder and stared straight at him. " Don't move or I'll shoot ", he said calmly ".]]> 2018-10-10 22:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493922 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493936 An interruption in the chronological order of a piece of literature in order to give the reader a backstory.
Example:
In the story 'Borders' there are many instances where the author uses foreshadowing to give the readers context on what was happening in present time. ]]> 2018-10-10 22:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493936 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493954 A character is a person or animal in a story that is represented in literary work.
Example: There are many types of characters such as, round, flat and static. The protagonist Olemaun from 'Fatty Legs' is an example of a round character as we know three or more of her traits(courageous, sassy, loyal, etc.). She is also a staitic character as her personality does not change as the story progresses.

Example:
In the short story 'To Build a Fire' the narrator refers to an old man man telling the protagonist that no one should travel alone in temperatures under 50 degrees and in the end the protagonist eventually dies because of his ignorance.]]> 2018-10-10 22:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/291493993 malcolm11lemaire https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/298314527 There are foils of similarities and foils of opposites. For example hero and hero or hero and villain.
Example:
In 'Fatty Legs' Olemaun has a foil of opposites with the antagonist she refers to as the Raven]]> 2018-10-30 00:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/malcolm11lemaire/1234/wish/298314527
