  1. everybody. My name is Cole and I chose to do
  2. my presentation on literary language.
  3. So the first question we should be asking ourselves is,
  4. What is literary language?
  5. Um, so my definition personally is that literary language is
  6. a way for writers to express their thoughts and actions
  7. in a more complex way, which essentially would be strengthening
  8. our writing.
  9. One source suggests that literary terms refer to the technique,
  10. style and formatting used by writers and speakers to master
  11. awfully emphasize, embellish or strengthen their compositions.
  12. Um, so there are many other types of literary language.
  13. So, um so some examples literary language would be metaphors,
  14. similes, imagery, symbolism and allusion eso.
  15. In this presentation, I'm going to cover those five different
  16. types of things, and within each one, I'm going to
  17. talk about the definition of the important characteristics and then
  18. some examples of each.
  19. So let's start off with medicine.
  20. Four. The definition of a metaphor is, ah, common figure
  21. of speech that makes a comparison by directly relating one
  22. thing to another unrelated thing on that came from literary
  23. term starting a ZX well, eso an important characteristic of
  24. ah metaphor is that metaphors and then similes, which we're
  25. going to talk about next, are really commonly confused.
  26. Unlike similes, metaphors do not physically say that they're comparing
  27. two things.
  28. So similes you use the words like an as as
  29. metaphors do not.
  30. So an example of the metaphor that you may hear
  31. in your day to day life is that like if
  32. somebody six, they might say that there's a frog in
  33. my throat, Um, which obviously there is no actual frog
  34. in their throat.
  35. It's just a figure of expression, is what woman say,
  36. which is also considered a metaphor, or ah, my sister
  37. is the black sheep sheep of my family.
  38. Um, and that's obviously not true as well.
  39. She's not actually a black sheep.
  40. She just might be considered the odd one out.
  41. Um, are when I saw a snake, I was frozen
  42. in fear.
  43. This thinks you're you're not actually frozen in fear.
  44. Your just your snake and that just is a, um,
  45. expression that people use.
  46. So next we're gonna move on to simile eso.
  47. Similarly, the definition is a literary term where you use
  48. the words like or as to compare two different things,
  49. and she'll common quality between them.
  50. So some important characteristics rules might be for a sentence,
  51. too. Classifies assembly.
  52. They must compare two things using words like whereas, and
  53. I know that similar to the definition.
  54. But that is a really important in order for something
  55. to classifies a simile, eso, some examples would be the
  56. neighbors. New baby was a small as a mouse.
  57. Um, I used the word as the neighbors.
  58. New baby was as small as a mouse eso that's
  59. comparing the two things using the word as on.
  60. And then the next example would be the kids fought
  61. like cats and dogs, so using the words like in
  62. there and then comparing fighting from the kids like cats
  63. and dogs.
  64. So the next topic that we're gonna touch on is
  65. imagery, um, and the definition of imagery from literary terms
  66. dot net is imagery includes figurative and metaphorical language to
  67. improve the readers experience through their senses.
  68. So some important character six of those maybe that imagery
  69. often pools on the five different senses.
  70. Vision, smell, taste.
  71. Hearing in touch on these helps create a more vivid
  72. experience for the reader and that came from literary devices.
  73. Up come so for example, in the film Alison Wonderland,
  74. Obviously, Alice goes to Wonderland, Mom.
  75. It has to describe Wonderland with descriptive imagery, talking about
  76. all the different people, what they looked like, Um, using
  77. what she saw, smelled, tastes heard and touched when she
  78. was in Wonderland.
  79. Some books also use descriptive imagery like the Absolute True
  80. Diary of a Part Time Indian.
  81. If you guys have read that the main character has
  82. lives on a reservation on, and he describes the reservation
  83. to the readers and spoiler alert, he does not like
  84. it. But you can go ahead and read that for
  85. yourself. And I'm here.
  86. The different types of imagery that they use in that
  87. story imagery is commonly seen in many different types of
  88. things. So movies, TV shows, books it's just really is
  89. really to really common our literary language.
  90. The next type of room touch upon is symbolism, so
  91. the definition of symbolism is a symbol that could be
  92. any image or thing that stands for something else.
  93. So some important characteristics of a symbol might be that
  94. while a symbol has its own deep meaning that the
  95. author intense for its readers, it's common for the individual.
  96. So as the reader to understand that meaning in a
  97. different way.
  98. I'm so some examples of symbolism might be that in
  99. the film The Matrix, the red pill and blue pill
  100. that they have to take to either join the Matrix
  101. or choose to have a normal life, I'm signify change
  102. and choosing your own pathway.
  103. Um, in the film Wall E, Um, the plan in
  104. the boot is a symbol of hope that the people
  105. can work together to achieve their goals.
  106. As the planet is dying that can work together to
  107. come together, Tom and, uh, figure out how to clean
  108. the planet.
  109. The last literary language type that we're gonna talk about
  110. is a liberation.
  111. The definition In a liberation, words that begin with the
  112. same sound are placed close together, although alliteration often involves
  113. repetition of letters.
  114. Most importantly, it is a repetition of sounds.
  115. Eso some important characteristics that literary terms up net describes
  116. is that this is because the repetition of constant sounds
  117. at the beginning of words allow rhythm musicality.
  118. Um, it also makes a Prezi use of memorizing and
  119. fun to say or read out loud eso using a
  120. liberation. It really helps to really helps the reader understand
  121. what's going on is a book or in the movie
  122. by just listening and having that repetition in your head.
  123. Allowing that rhythm, I'm to create that repetition in your
  124. head. Ah, some examples of alliteration.
  125. One really common example is that many of her as
  126. Sally sells seashells by the seashore.
  127. So kind of the S constant sound makes that rhythmic
  128. and kind of musical type thing to it, so it
  129. creates that for them.
  130. So it's easily remembered.
  131. A more serious example could be in the I Have
  132. a Dream Speech, written by Dr Martin Luther King Jr
  133. In this speech on, he says, I have a dream
  134. that my four Children will one day live in a
  135. nation where they will not be judged by the color
  136. of their skin, but by the content of their character.
  137. So in that last time section, it says, judge by
  138. the color of their skin, but the content of their
  139. character I'm so that kind of, um, creates a rhythm.
  140. Um, and it really helps you to remember what's happening
  141. in the speech.
  142. So now that we talked about all of those different
  143. types of terms.
  144. Um, we're gonna talk about how we will use this
  145. literary language as a class and in the future endeavors.
  146. So you can use this in your academic essays in
  147. discussion posts, journals and in daily life, um, used this
  148. language to incorporate deeper meanings and strengthening our writing as
  149. a class.
  150. And as a student, um And then these are my
  151. references, and that is it.
  152. Hopefully you were able to get some good info on
  153. literary language on and learning how it can incorporate deeper
  154. meanings and a stronger, more detailed essay or discussion posts
  155. or whatever you choose to use it for, um, Now
  156. you can go ahead and fly that in your day
  157. to day life, Mom, And that is a thank you
  158. so much for watching eyes and have a good day.
