Imagery

At first, I thought imagery was use of words to create an image, but this was wrong. Actually, imagery is language that appeals to the five senses. I also learned about figurative language. I used to think figurative language was things like idioms, personifications and metaphors, but I learned that figurative language is a word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of another and is not meant to be understood on a literal level. The three main types of figurative language are similes, metaphors, and personification.

Irony and Ambiguity

At first, I thought irony was when you expect something to happen then the exact opposite happens, but I learned that well, I was right. That is what irony means. There are three types of irony: Situational irony, Dramatic irony and verbal irony.
I also learned about ambiguity. I used to think ambiguity was… I did not know what ambiguity was, but I learned that ambiguity is when a part of a text can be taken a number of different ways.
On my irony and ambiguity pretest, I was at grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be above grade-level.

Theme

At first I thought that theme was the moral of the story but I learned that this was wrong.
Actually, theme is the central idea or insight about life and human nature that gives the story meaning. Some themes are universal which means that they are commonly found in the literature of all cultures and ages; the five main genres of literature are non-fiction, fiction, poetry, drama and myth. Since I now understand theme, I can find the theme of my favorite movie. My favorite movie is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The theme of this movie is “love will always triumph over evil”. On my theme pretest, I was below grade level. On my theme post test I hope that I will be at least at grade level.
