SIFT:
S-Symbolism
When an object (usually concrete) represents something more than itself (usually an abstract concept). Examples: The apple in The Giver symbolizes “truth”. I-Imagery: Imagery refers to words and phrases that create a picture that appeals to one or more of the reader’s five senses. F -Figurative Language Figurative language is used to describe and imply ideas indirectly. The expressions used are not literally true, but express truth beyond the literal level. Figurative language appears most often in poetry. Two main types of figurative language are simile and metaphor. A simile is a comparison using the words like, than, or as. A metaphor is a direct comparison. T-Tone and Theme Tone is the writer’s or speaker’s attitude toward the subject of the passage. Tone may be communicated through words and details that express particular emotions and that evoke an emotional response in the reader. A theme is the central idea or ideas explored by a literary work. A work of literature may have more than one theme. Hamlet, for instance, deals with the themes of death, revenge, and action, to name a few. King Lear's themes include justice, reconciliation, madness, and betrayal. |
