Allegory- A tale in prose or verse in which characters, actions, or setting represents abstract ideas or moral qualities; a story that uses symbols to make a point.
A story to be taken on multiple levels of meaning. Tortoise and the Hare, where the Tortoise represents a hard slow valiant worker, while the Hare represents one that rushes through everything. Not particularly a story just about racing talking animals.
Alliteration- The repetition of similar initial sounds in a group of words.
All alliterations are all announcing alike (words).
Allusion- a reference contained in a work that the writer expects the reader to understand
Bad Luck Brian. Chemistry Cat. Insanity Wolf. And if you don't know these, well you don't get my allusion then.
Ambiguity- something uncertain as to interpretation
The movie Inception. Is it still spinning? Well is it?
Anachronism- something that shows up in the wrong place or time
A watch in ancient times doesn't exist. I'm looking at you Spartacus.
More to come soon
