If anyone thinks they might need this: 25 Language Devices: Defined & Explained! 1. Pathetic Fallacy Is when the weather or the atmosphere describes the mood. For example, when the weather is rainy people are sad and depressed 2nd example, the dark night could symbolise something supernatural like 3AM Satan etc… 2. Personification Is when a non-human is given human qualities. For example, the tree is waving to John as drives away. 3. Simile When you are comparing two things using ‘like’ or ‘as’ For example, his facial vision looked like a falcon’s eye 4. Metaphor Is when you are comparing two things with is or are Example He is an orc 5. Extended Metaphor Pick a metaphor and explain how --- > turn in to an extended metaphor Metaphor --- > Life is a rollercoaster. Now turning into extended metaphor add explanation so, Life is a rollercoaster you don’t know when you will be at the top or at the bottom, it will all happen in an instance, at the greatest heights you will be at the greatest heights and at times it will crash, but every day is never the same, just like in a turn in a Rolle coaster is never the same. 6. Oxymoron 2 opposite words side-by-side Example, the small giant 7. Juxtaposition You explain an oxymoron. The small giant tip-toing trying to reach the top shelf, however, his small arms and puny fingers prevented him from grabbing the bar of jam. 8. Symbolism Is when objects represent a meaning. For example, moon and the star represent Islam. 2nd Example, if you get a priest you will think someone died. In Macbeth the dagger links to death. 9. Semantic field Is where words are linked to an idea. For example, PPE, 2m and Hand Sanitiser, Head of Year link to COVID. 10. Irony Is when events in the text surprises the characters. Something not expected! Mr Birling offering a 1000. Scrooge changing his nature. 11. Rhetorical Question Question does not require an answer 12. Hyperbole Is when you hype, when over-exaggerating. I am going to eat the whole restaurant. 13. Assonance Is the repetition of the vowel sound. I am too cool for school. Oooooo 14. Alliteration Words in a row begin with the same letter. 15. Sibilance Is when words in a row have the s letter or the s sound Example: the snake was slowly hissing 16. Euphemism Is when you say something in an indirect manner. He is not with us anymore. 17. Emotive Language Is when the writer makes the reader feel emotional. By making them angry. 18. Onomatopoeia Words describe the sound Boom bang skirr pop 19. Ruel of 3 / Power of 3 / Triplets Words or phrases in a row describe something (3) The table is black, hard and wide 20. Facts/ Stats Uses evidence to support their facts. 50 % of the students prefer using email rather than social media . 21. Plosive Reptation of harsh sound Words such as 'P' 'D' 'B' 22. Zoomorphism Is when you give a person animal features. Example John barked at me / John shouted at me. 23. Opinion 24. Repetition Language Device and Structure. Is when the writer uses the words repletely to create an effect. Where is being repeated and why is that important 25. Noun, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs Structure Flashback - when you go back in time ,3 days ago etc.. Foreshadowing - when the writer gives clue about future ‘my heart was beating fast’ Zoom in - focus on one thing for example ‘pen’ , ‘specific character ‘ Zoom out - normally used to talk about setting Dialogue - when the character speak ‘hey there !’ New character New setting Change in tone Short sentence - to build up tense Long sentence - add details and slow down the narrative Short /long sentence - may show importance in both Shift in focus - talks about object then talks about another object for example ‘pen’ to ‘table’ Cyclical structure - similar stuff happening with beginning and ending Juxtaposition Extended metaphor Pace List Pov Overall tone Chronogical order Climax Repetition Links Mood , pathetic fallacy 1. Abhorrent/Heinous (means bad) 2. Euphoric/Jubilant (means happy) 3. Melancholy/Morose (means sad) 4. Indignant (means angry) 5. Swift/Rapid (means fast) 6. Colossal/Gargantuan (means big) 7. Minuscule/Microscopic (means small) 8. Bemused/Befuddled (means confused) 9. Astute/Shrewd (means smart) 10. Feeble/Decrepit (means weak) 11. Dash (means run) 12. Plunge (means jump - may not always fit so be careful how you use it) 13. Cordial (means nice) 14. Lackadaisical (means lazy) 15. Paradoxical/Outlandish (means strange)

[@mel.jane84]

Hey if possible could anyone mark this for me or give me a rough idea of a grade? Thank you :) It was a serene sight as I woke up. The clouds danced above, filled with laughter as they jumped along the skyline. As I lifted myself up from the marble ground below, I felt an instant sharp pain through my chest. I glanced down and shuddered at the sight. A scarlet, gaping hole was clear in the middle of my chest. Gasping, my hand began to shake by my sides as I could not tear my eyes away from it. I forced myself to shut my eyes, to slow my breath. Silence stood around me. It was like everything had come to an end. I opened my eyes again, taking time to truly notice where I was. There was no one. Not a single person walked upon this desolate land. A hole in my chest. No people. A serene surrounding. I was…dead. Death was abhorrent to me. I could not accept my fate so easily. Surely not! Nevertheless, my future was awaiting me, at the top of those mountainous stairs. I would meet my father, my God who I had aspired to throughout my life. Heaven was awaiting me. Immediately, I began to ascend the stairs I noticed the beauty of a picture began to appear. All around me, I watched as nature began to grow, form, to reach a new height of incredible ability. Nature had been a loved thing of mine. When I was most awake, most present in the moment, every sense of nature converged into a single euphoric joy. It was as if there was a feeling passing between each living thing, a bond that appeared so tangible and blended, a melody beyond the range of ears but available for the heart. As each leaf twirled in the wind, a part of me did too. There was something so irreplaceable about it. It was the very essence (besides God) that made up my being, that made up millions of other beings - the glue of the universe. My fate was not so doomed, if I remained with both God and nature, I would feel complete. Only a few dozens of stairs were present on the staircase. All I had to do was climb just a little bit more and my glorious death would be worthwhile. My chest had a burning sensation, even though the circumstance of my death had long passed, and I was in a place of peace now. A shivering breath rocked through my body, but I had completed the stairs now. I had made it. In front of me appeared a glistening gate. A lengthy piece of glimmering and glowing gold wrapped and wrapped around each rail, drawing me to them. I hobbled over to the gate; a broad smile spread across my face. It was unbelievable, incredible, astonishing! I was here at the gates of heaven. My hand reached out to pull the gate open, but an apoplectic voice howled at me. I could not understand a single word it said, so I reached toward the gate, hoping this time I would be let in. Again, the tempestuous voice shook the very ground I was standing on. If I could not enter… There was only one other place that lay in the afterlife. Hell was awaiting me. What indignant heaven that turned out to be. I had done well all my life. I helped the poor, I prayed to my god every night, I was kind to others, I greeted all with respect and interest. All my life, my entire service was dedicated to God, my holy father and even he did not want me. Plodding down the stairs, I glared at the face of nature. There was no longer a euphoric joy: only an animosity felt towards it. The only feeling that passed between us, was one of bitterness and disgust. The clouds mournfully gathered in the sky, and I suddenly felt my teeth chatter. The leaves blustered as the clouds and the sky began to conjure mighty wind, causing me to stumble down these staggering stairs. Why me? What had I done that was so erroneous for God to send me to the lamentable depths of hell? I finished my descent on my stairs; I was right where I had awoken only a mere hour ago. However, this time a polished ebony gate stood with a piece of flame ruby wrapped up each rail. Trembling, I tiptoed towards it feeling every bone shake in my body. A morose fate this was, and I was to accept it. The gates began to creak open, even though I was several metres away. I breathed quickly in, and I walked towards those dreadful doors. There was nothing I could do now.
