Literary Terms Scavenger Hunt

Redundancy & Repetition

Our second literary term is redundancy and repetition. This literary term is emphasizing something in the book by repeating the phrase or words many times. An example of this term in the book bomb is "One afternoon in late March 1943, Dorothy McKibben, a forty-five-year-old single mother, was crossing the street in Santa Fe, New Mexico. (Page 91). Another example that we used for this literary device was this from the book, "Deathcatchers". The example was, "I squeezed my eyes shut once again. I counted to ten, hoping I could write all of it off as a very bad dream." (Page 104)

Persuasion

Our last literary term in the Scavenger Hunt is Persuasion. Persuasion is when you want someone or something to do what you want them to do. Persuasion in the Book "The Death Catchers" is ", I rode home with dad, convincing him I needed to stop by Jodi's to pick up a home work assignment." (Page 245)Persuasion was used in the book "Bomb: The Race to Build- and Steal- the Worlds Most Dangerous Weapon, is when "Einstein urged the government to start working closely with physicists to explore the possibilities of building atomic bombs." (Page 21)

(Page 165) In Bomb the Race to Build-and Steal- the Worlds Most Dangerous Weapon, one example states that "Beside the runway, Tibbets walked around the Enola Gay, making the final preflight checks."

Foreshadowing

Our first literary term for the "scavenger hunt" is foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is taking a guess of what the outcome will be in the future. One example of foreshadowing, from The Death Catchers is, "As we crouched outside Agatha's cottage atop Cemetery Hill, I thought Jodi was dead." (Page 17) Foreshadowing is a common literary term used in stories to get to a climax point in the story. Another title that we used for the literary terms is Bomb The Race To Build --And Steal-- The World's Most Dangerous Weapon. The example is, "He had a few more minutes to destroy seventeen years of evidence. (Page 1)
