My Learning Was LIT!

This year I learned the following terms and I applied them as I read some pretty great stuff:
-Allusion for example is when the author gives a the reader a reference to something.
-Plot, is the main event of a story for example, for example on the poem Richard Cory the main event is the ending when Richard Cory kills him self.
-theme is the central or main idea of a story.
-diction is the words that an author chooses to describe the story.
-syntax is the way the words are arrange in a story.
-in/direct characterization is the way how the author introduces the characters to the readers by giving all the information at once or by giving explanations throughout the story
-static/dynamic characters  is when a character either change or does not change throughout a story. Montag from Fahrenheit 451 is an example of dynamic character since he change as the story goes, this is different from static character because this character usually don't change but stays the same the whole time.
-symbolism is something that has a deeper meaning rather than just the original definition of the thing.
-synecdoche is to use less words but to explain something with more importance
