Assignment Describe (your) life in metaphors! ◦ Don’t use like/as! E. g. Life is a random string of beads; a chaotic sequence of sparkling, dull, ostentatious and revolting. Each one is linked to the next by the string, by time, but cannot predict what comes next. The mind must take what it is given and make the best of it, never loosing hope that more beauty will come.

Literary devices ◦ ◦ ◦ Symbol Irony Hyperbole Alliteration Personification Part 4

Symbol ◦ Using an object or action that means something more than its literal meaning. What might these symbols mean?

Irony ◦ Playing around with words such that the meaning implied by a sentence or word is actually the complete opposite from the literal meaning the real, deeper layer is revealed by the use of words rather than the situation. ◦ Verbal irony ◦ Situational irony ◦ Dramatic irony

Situational Irony When what actually happens is the opposite of what is expected

Dramatic Irony When the reader understands more about the events of a story than the character (je zag het al lang aankomen) Example: The classic love triangle (where girl helps guy get a date, but girl is secretly head over heals for him) Another classic example: Romeo and Juliet (death scene)

Verbal Irony A character says one thing but means the opposite Example: The locker room smells wonderful!

Verbal irony vs Sarcasm ◦ Verbal Irony: A character says one thing but means the opposite ◦ Sarcasm: A character says one thing but means the opposite with the intention of hurting someone else’s feelings (it’s on purpose) ◦ Let’s do a quick test: In the following example Sheldon is claimed to learn about sarcasm. What do you think?
