Using one of the folk tales and your keen figurative language instincts, find at least 2 instances of different literary devices such as repetition, imagery, personification, symbolism, and/or metaphor. For each instance, explain the device and include the impact that specific word choice has on the tone of the story. can you help me
Certainly, I can help you with that.
Firstly, you need to choose a folk tale that resonates with you and that you feel comfortable analyzing. Once you have your choice, identify two examples of literary devices used and explain their impact on the story.
For example, let's say you choose the folk tale "The Three Little Pigs". Here are two possible instances of literary devices in this story and their impact on the tone:
1) Repetition: The phrase "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down" is repeated by the wolf three times in the story. This repetition emphasizes the wolf's determination and conveys a sense of impending danger. The repetition creates a sense of urgency, causing the reader to feel more invested in the story and rooting for the pigs to escape the wolf's wrath.
2) Symbolism: The houses built by the pigs also serve as symbols in the story. The straw house represents laziness and a lack of foresight, while the stick house represents a willingness to put in some effort and preparation. The brick house, the strongest and most enduring house, represents hard work, determination, and forward-thinking. This symbolism highlights the importance of planning ahead and working hard, and reinforces the idea that success comes to those who are diligent and prepare for the future.
These instances of repetition and symbolism provide a tactile and emotive experience to the reader, it also draws them in to be a part of the story.
The Swallow and the Pumpkinseed and Don't Count Your Chickens,
Great choices for folk tales!
Here are examples of literary devices used in each of them and their impact on the tone of the story:
1) The Swallow and the Pumpkinseed:
- Personification: In the story, the swallow is given human-like qualities such as feeling tired, getting sick, and feeling happy. This personification of the swallow makes it easier for readers to relate to the swallow and empathize with it. It also draws the reader further into the story and helps to create a more emotional resonance.
- Imagery: The story is full of visual images that helps in creating a mental image of the setting and characters. For instance, the description of the pumpkinseed as small, round, and green with white stripes, helps the reader to visualize it. The use of colorful and descriptive imagery enables readers to feel the sense of mysticism of the story.
2) Don't Count Your Chickens:
- Repetition: The title itself is an example of repetition. This repetition is also used in the phrase "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched," which is repeated several times throughout the story. The repetition reinforces the moral of the story that implies not to be overconfident about something before it is established. It also creates a sense of suspense, making the reader anxious to learn the outcome of the story.
- Metaphor: The phrase "count your chickens before they're hatched" is an example of a metaphor. It means that one should not assume something will happen before it actually happens. This metaphor is the main message of the story and serves as a lesson to readers. It also adds a layer of depth and meaning to the story, making it emotionally engaging and impactful.
In conclusion, the use of literary devices such as personification, imagery, repetition, and metaphor in these two folk tales creates vivid pictures and evokes intense emotions in the reader, drawing them fully into the world of the story and enabling them to understand the deeper meanings behind it.
