  4. Literary Terms Definitions • Point of view-the vantage point from which a story is told • Unreliable narrator-when you’re not sure you can trust what the narrator is presenting. You, as a reader, understand something beyond what may be told • Vignette- “a short graceful literary essay or sketch” • Capturing a moment/feeling • Usually written with rich imagery and precise word choices

  5. Eu….that’s Dys-gusting! • Euphemism-makes something sound better or softer • “freedom fighters” (neutral word: “rebel”) • “passed away” (neutral word: “died”) • Dysphemism-makes something sound worse or harsher • “terrorists” • “kicked the bucket”

  6. Connotation vs. Denotation • Denotation-a word’s literal and primary meaning. The “dictionary definition” • A hot chick is a warm, fluffy offspring of a chicken • Tight, cool pants fit closely to the legs and provide some relief from warm temperatures • Connotation- a word’s emotional/cultural meanings that may be attached to it • A hot chick is an attractive female • Tight pants are cool pants

  7. Figurative vs. Literal Figurative language uses techniques like metaphors/similes, imagery, or symbolism to represent ideas beyond the actual, literal meaning of the words. From theoatmeal.com
