Learning Log 6

In three lessons,we have learnt the basic literary devices and the advanced literary devices.Some of the examples of the basic literary devices are "Simile" and "Kinaesthetic".An example of Simile is "Whining as a cat",which suggests how weak one is and the attention one needs,just like a small powerless cat whining for attention.For kinaesthetic,an example would be "Her nose always dribbled,her mouth had a peculiar twitch".It describes a girl's facial feature,and most likely a weak disabled girl.Two examples of advanced literary devices are,"Incomplete sentence" and "Repetition".An example of incomplete sentence is,"Father,everyday he will tell me to study hard and get good marks,but even though I study very hard,cannot remember or concentrate."This suggests that the narrator is frustrated about her inability to do well in her studies.An example of repetition is,"Must pass,pass,pass!".This probably tells us that the narrator is determined to escape her current situation so to do well in her studies to please her parents.Literary devices are important in Literature as it's needed quite a lot,thus it's one the most important part in Literature.However,I think that the feelings you get from reading the passage and ability to understand the passage is the key to doing well in Literature.Literature is all about feelings,literary devices and vocabulary are just words to express your feelings.
