Character Development/Literary Analysis (Powerpoint)

The presentation below contains the class notes and examples from our discussion about character development and how to analyze the connotations of literary devices to reveal character growth.

Homework: Literary Device Mini-Poster

In class you were given a literary device to find in Pablo Neruda's "Poetry." They were:

1. Simile
2. Metaphor
3. Alliteration
4. Personification
5. Anaphora
6. Paradox
7. Hyperbole
8. Onomatopoeia
9. Allusion

On a single sheet of paper, write the name of your device, its definition (the in-class definitions are fine), an example (using the internet to find one is fine, just give credit to the person who said/wrote the example), and an illustration that goes with your example.
