C. Abstraction

(Discussion)

Literary Devices–are techniques that writers

use to create a special and pointed effect in
their writing, to convey information, and/or to
help reader understand the piece on a deeper
level.
Figure of Speech– is a word or phrase using
figurative language- language that has other
meaning than its normal definition. In other
words, figures of speech rely on implied or
suggested meaning, rather than a dictionary
definition.
Four Literary Devices

I. Analogy(ǝ-’na-lǝ-jē)
- The term analogy derived from the Greek
word “analogos” which means
“proportionate.”
- An analogy is a comparison of two things
to show their similarities. Sometimes the
things being compared are quite similar,
but other times they could be very
different.
- An analogy is comparable to metaphor
and simile in that it shows how two
different things are similar, but it’s a bit
more complex. Therefore, analogy is
more extensive and elaborate than either
a simile or a metaphor.

Function of Analogy

- Writers use analogy to link an unfamiliar

or a new idea with common and familiar
objects. This makes it is easier for
readers to comprehend a new idea,
which may have been difficult for them to
understand otherwise. In addition, by
employing this literary tool, writers catch
the attention of their readers. Analogies
help increase readers’ interest as
analogies help them relate what they
read to their life.

Examples:
1) Life is like a race. The one who keeps
running wins the race, and the one who
stops to catch a breath loses.
2) Just as a sword is the weapon of a
warrior, a pen is the weapon of a writer.
3) Just as a caterpillar comes out of its
cocoon, so we must come out of our
comfort zone.
4) They crowded very close about him,
with their hands always on him in a
careful, caressing grip, as though all the
while feeling him to make sure he was
there. It was like men handling a fish
which is still alive and may jump back
into the water.
5) The people are taking a prisoner to the
gallows to be hanged. They are holding
him firmly, as if he were a fish which
might slip away and escape.

II. Caesura(see-ZOO-ra)
- the term caesura derives from the Latin
 verb “caedare”, which means to “cut
off.”It is a complete pause marked by a
comma, space, dash, ellipsis or any
other punctuation mark.
- Caesura refers to a break or pause in
the middle of a line of verse. It’s simply
part of the way the reader or singer
pronounces the line. It can be marked
as || in the middle of the line, although
generally it is not marked at all. At times,
it occurs with punctuation; at other times
it does not. In this article, we’ll include
the || mark for the sake of clarity.
Types of Caesura
1) Initial Caesura- a caesura that occurs at
the beginning of line of poetry.
2) Medial Caesura- a caesura that occurs at
the middle of the line of poetry.
3) Terminal Caesura- a caesura that occurs at
the end of the line of poetry.
Function of Caesura

- A caesural break creates various effects,

depending upon the way it is used.
Sometimes it breaks the monotonous
rhythm of a line and forces readers to
focus on the meaning of the phrase
preceding the caesura. In some other
cases, it might create a dramatic or
ominous effect. Normally, it happens in
the middle of a sentence, or phrase in
poetry. It also adds an emotional and
theatrical touch to a line, and helps
convey depth of the sentiments.
Examples:
1) I hear lake water lapping || with low
sounds by the shore.
2) Lord forgives him, || he got them dark
forces in him.
3) We gather, || we shout,Then we gossip
together on festivities.
4) It is for you we speak, || not for
ourselves:
You are abused || and by some putter-on
That will be damn’dfor’t; || would I knew the
villain,
I would land-damn him. || Be she honour-
flaw’d,
I have three daughters; || the eldest is eleven
5) I’m nobody! || Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us || – don’t tell!
They’d banish || – you know!

III. Paradox (PAR-a-dox)

- The word paradox comes from the Greek

"paradoxos," meaning contrary to
expectation, or strange.
- A paradox is a statement or group of
sentences that seems to contradict the
truth but is an implied truth. They describe
an action or situation that seems absurd
but yet can be true.
- A paradox can be thought provoking but
also fun to think about.
Function of Paradox

- Paradox in most poems normally strives

to create feelings of intrigue and interest
in readers’ minds, to make them think
deeper and harder to enjoy the real
message of the poem.
Examples:
1) I know one thing; that I know nothing.
2) This is the beginning of the end.
3) The second sentence is false. The first
sentence is true.
4) Nobody goes to Murphy’s Bar anymore
— it’s too crowded.
IV. Synecdoche (si-nek-duh-kee)

- Synecdoche is a Greek word which

means receiving together.
- Synecdoche can use a part to represent
a whole; it can also use the whole to
represent a part.
Let us look at some of the examples of
synecdoche that we often hear in casual
conversations:
 The word “bread” refers to food or
money, as in “Writing is my bread and
butter,” or “He is the sole breadwinner.”
 The phrase “gray beard” refers to an old
man.
  The word “sails” refers to a whole ship.
 The word “suit” refers to a businessman.
 He drives the most expensive “wheels”
in the city. Wheels refers to “a car”
 Referring to a helper as a "hand."
 Referring to the alphabet as the "ABCs."
 Get out of my face! This means “get
away from me”

Function of Synecdoche

- Like any other literary device,

synecdoche when used appropriately
adds a distinct color to words, making
them appear vivid.
Examples:
1) The Department of Education
announced new plans for the education
reform.
2) Lend me your ears.
3) Philippines beat Japan in the Olympic
Games.
4) He has many mouths to feed.
5) I have 10 minds working on the solution.

Say: Do you have any question regarding our

lesson for today class?
None Ma’am.
Say: If that’s so, then who can define the term
“literary device?” *Student’s Answer*

Say: Who can give me an example of

paradox? *Students’ Answers*

and Synecdoche?

Say: Very good class!

D. Application

Say: This time, we will have a group activity.

Are you ready?

Directions:
 The class will be divided into 8 groups.
