LIT TERMS 6-30

Yaaay! Everybody's favorite kind of post! Let's do it to it so we can start our other homework.
P.S. Do you like the purple text background?

Analogy: brussell sprouts are to dessert as Matthew Patel is to calculus class.

Analysis: My favorite kind of graph is a simple way to understand the hard stuff.

Anaphora: every episode of Friends (imagine 90's font) is titled " The one where..."  It's cool cuz that's how we all describe specific tv episodes.

Anecdote: " Back when I was a boy, we had to walk to school uphill both ways...in the snow...and we liked it."   What he's trying to say is that we have it good.  Or he's showing off.

Antagonist: Captain Hook is the antagonist of the Peter Pan story.

Antithesis:  Bull in a china shop compares the bulk and force of the bovine-american with the dainty fragility of the teacups.

Aphorism: This fun little thinkstarter was thought up by Jeff Mangum.

 Apologia: My sister's apologia for lack of dental hygiene: Mom said I don't have to brush? Web of lies.

Apostrophe: A book as ubiquitous in preschools as bibles in motel rooms.

Argument: Many of us use wikipedia or IMDB to prove others wrong.

Assumption: I don't agree with that assume and ass and you and me thing because we're only trying to hone our deductive reasoning skills. 

Audience: Despite the fact that pokemon is targeted at an audience of children, I believe it is most popular among the post/peri-pubescent.

Characterization: Eeyore, the donkey from Winnie the Pooh (as if you thought of any other), is heavily characterized by his sighs and stoicism.

Chiasmus: " Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."  That's what JFK said.  Btw, there was a guy who met John Quincy Adams and John F. Kennedy. C-c-c-crazy!

Circumlocution: Beat around the bush

Classicism: The Greeks had their ideas AND their style copied.

Cliche: (Sans accent mark because blogger doth protest too much.)  This show is just one huge cliche and a massive joke being played on society.

Climax: The best most decisive part of the movie.  Harry and Voldemort battle it out, for example.

Colloquialism: My favorite accent to read aloud in.

Comedy: I hope your mind didn't jump to Tyler Perry because no.

Conflict: That which causes drama in a clique of teenage girls.

Connotation:  

Contrast: If this picture doesn't work, consider a quote from Remy in Fat Joe's Lean Back:
We gangsta and gangstas don't dance, we boogie.

Denotation: Straight out the dictionary!

Denouement: When they go back and tell you what's happened since the conflict ended.
