An indirect reference to something (usually from literature, etc.) .  \nAMBIGUITY deliberately suggesting two or more different, and sometimes conflicting, meanings in a work. An event or situation that may be interpreted in more than one way--this is done on purpose by the author, when it is not done on purpose, it is vagueness, and detracts from the work.  \nANALOGY Comparison made between two things to show how they are alike  \nANAPHORA Repetition of a word, phrase, or clause at the beginning of two or more sentences in a row. This is a deliberate form of repetition and helps make the writer’s point more coherent.  \nANASTROPHE Inversion of the usual, normal, or logical order of the parts of a sentence. Purpose is rhythm or emphasis or euphony. It is a fancy word for inversion.  \nANECDOTE Brief story, told to illustrate a point or serve as an example of something, often shows character of an individual  \nANTAGONIST Opponent who struggles against or blocks the hero, or protagonist, in a story.  \nANTIMETABOLE Repetition of words in successive clauses in reverse grammatical order.  \nMoliere: “One should eat to live, not live to eat.” In poetry, this is called chiasmus.  \nANTITHESIS Balancing words, phrases, or ideas that are strongly contrasted, often by means of grammatical structure.  \nLiterary Terms page 1  \nANTIHERO Central character who lacks all the qualities traditionally associated with heroes. may lack courage, grace, intelligence, or moral scruples.  \nANTHROPOMORPHISM attributing human characteristics to an animal or inanimate object (Personification)  \nAPHORISM brief, cleverly worded statement that makes a wise observation about life, or of a principle or accepted general truth. Also called maxim, epigram.  \nAPOSTROPHE calling out to an imaginary, dead, or absent person, or to a place or thing, or a personified abstract idea. If the character is asking a god or goddess for inspiration it is called an invocation.  \nJosiah Holland---“Loacöon! Thou great embodiment/ Of human life and human history!”  \nAPPOSITION Placing in immediately succeeding order of two or more coordinate elements, the latter of which is an explanation, qualification, or modification of the first (often set offby a colon) . Paine: “These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it Now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”  \nASSONANCE the repetition of similar vowel sounds followed by different consonant sounds especially in words that are together.  \nASYNDETON Commas used without conjunction to separate a series of words, thus emphasizing the parts equally: instead of X, Y, and Z... the writer uses X,Y,Z.... see polysyndeton.  \nBALANCE Constructing a sentence so that both halves are about the same length and importance. Sentences can be unbalanced to serve a special effect as well.  \nCHARACTERIZATION the process by which the writer reveals the personality of a character.  \nINDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION the author reveals to the reader what the character is like by describing how the character looks and dresses, by letting the reader hear what the character says, by revealing the character’s private thoughtsand fee","cbCaifxRAHqrgq2E","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifxRAHqrgq2E","pdf",251995,11,"English","# Literary Terms\n## A–P Definitions","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between internal and external conflict in literature?\",\"answer\":\"External conflict involves struggles between characters, or between a person and nature or a machine, or between a person and society.
