 Lesson
Elements, Techniques, and
1 Literary Devices in Fiction

You see through another world as peering into a hole when you read books and
watch movies. You enter the world with full of fantasy and escape from reality. You
create an imaginary world that presents a better version of the real world. Reading
fiction can also sharpen your brain while filling in the gaps with the possible event
that may happen in the story. Reading fiction also enhances problem-solving skills.
Through reading stories of fiction or non-fiction, characters are solving their
problems using various strategies and techniques to attain peace and happiness.

What’s In

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a good example of fiction. The story

narrates various adventures of the main character, Alice, in a fictitious land full of
incredible creatures and events. Alice has to go through certain magical experiences
in the wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland
Lewis Carrol

Alice is sitting with her sister outdoors when she spies a white rabbit with a
pocket watch. Fascinated by the sight, she follows the rabbit down the hole. She falls
for a long time, and finds herself in a long hallway full of doors. There is also a key
on the table, which unlocks a tiny door; through this door, she spies a beautiful
garden. She longs to get there, but the door is too small. Soon, she finds a drink with
a note that asks her to drink it. There is later a cake with a note that tells her to eat;
Alice uses both, but she cannot seem to get a handle on things, and is always either

7
too large to get through the door or too small to reach the key.

While she is tiny, she slips and falls into a pool of water. She realizes that this
little sea is made of tears she cried while a giant. She swims to shore with a number
of animals, most notably a sensitive mouse, but manages to offend everyone by
talking about her cat's ability to catch birds and mice. Left alone, she goes on
through the wood and runs into the White Rabbit. He mistakes her for his maid and
sends her to fetch some things from his house. While in the White Rabbit's home,
she drinks another potion and becomes too huge to get out through the door. She
eventually finds a little cake which, when eaten, makes her small again.

In the wood again, she comes across a caterpillar sitting on a mushroom. He

gives her some valuable advice, as well as a valuable tool: the two sides of the
mushroom, which can make Alice grow larger and smaller as she wishes. The first
time she uses them, she stretches her body out tremendously. While stretched out,
she pokes her head into the branches of a tree and meets a Pigeon. The Pigeon is
convinced that Alice is a serpent, and though Alice tries to reason with her the
Pigeon tells her to be off.

Alice gets herself down to normal proportions and continues her trek through
the woods. In a clearing she comes across a little house and shrinks herself down
enough to get inside. It is the house of the Duchess; the Duchess and the Cook are
battling fiercely, and they seem unconcerned about the safety of the baby that the
Duchess is nursing. Alice takes the baby with her, but the child turns into a pig and
trots off into the woods. Alice next meets the Cheshire cat (who was sitting in the
Duchess's house, but said nothing). The Cheshire cat helps her to find her way
through the woods, but he warns her that everyone she meets will be mad.

Alice goes to the March Hare's house, where she is treated to a Mad Tea Party.
Present are the March Hare, the Hatter, and the Dormouse. Ever since Time stopped
working for the Hatter, it has always been six o'clock; it is therefore always teatime.
The creatures of the Mad Tea Party are some of the must argumentative in all of
Wonderland. Alice leaves them and finds a tree with a door in it: when she looks
through the door, she spies the door-lined hallway from the beginning of her
adventures. This time, she is prepared, and she manages to get to the lovely garden
that she saw earlier. She walks on through, and finds herself in the garden of

8
the Queen of Hearts. There, three gardeners (with bodies shaped like playing cards)
are painting the roses red. If the Queen finds out that they planted white roses, she'll
have them beheaded. The Queen herself soon arrives, and she does order their
execution; Alice helps to hide them in a large flowerpot.

The Queen invites Alice to play croquet, which is a very difficult game in
Wonderland, as the balls and mallets are live animals. The game is interrupted by
the appearance of the Cheshire cat, whom the King of Hearts immediately dislikes.

The Queen takes Alice to the Gryphon, who in turn takes Alice to the Mock
Turtle. The Gryphon and the Mock Turtle tell Alice bizarre stories about their school
under the sea. The Mock Turtles sings a melancholy song about turtle soup, and
soon afterward the Gryphon drags Alice off to see the trial of the Knave of Hearts.

The Knave of Hearts has been accused of stealing the tarts of the Queen of
Hearts, but the evidence against him is very bad. Alice is appalled by the ridiculous
proceedings. She also begins to grow larger. She is soon called to the witness stand;
by this time she has grown to giant size. She refuses to be intimidated by the bad
logic of the court and the bluster of the King and Queen of Hearts. Suddenly, the
cards all rise up and attack her, at which point she wakes up. Her adventures in
Wonderland have all been a fantastic dream.

What’s New

People Power Revolution is observed on February 25th each year as a special

non-working day in the Philippines.

The People Power Revolution (also known as the EDSA Revolution and the
Philippine Revolution of 1986) was a series of popular demonstrations in the
Philippines that began in 1983 and culminated in 1986 with the overthrow of
President Marcos.

History of People Power Revolution

President Marcos came to power in the Philippines in 1965. From the early days
of his reign, he was seen as autocratic. To maintain power, he declared Martial Law
in 1972 beginning a period of political repression, censorship, assassinations and
human rights violations.

10
 His main political rival was Senator Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino, Jr. In August 1983,
Aquino was returning from the United States after medical treatment when he was
shot dead at Manila International airport.

The killing was a turning point in the country, and a potent opposition
movement gathered around Corazon Aquino, the wife of Ninoy Aquino.

Threatened by the growing opposition and in an attempt to win back his

popularity among the people, Marcos held a snap presidential election in February
7th, 1986, in which he was opposed by Corazon Aquino. This led to some of Marcos'
former ministers, the army and Church leaders all calling for his removal from office.
These calls drew people from all over the country to join mass peaceful protests
against Marcos.

The protesters blocked Manila's main thoroughfare, the Epifanio de los Santos
Avenue (EDSA), a scene repeated in cities all over the country. In defiance of
repeated threats from President Marcos, they refused to end the protests.

On the afternoon of the protest's second day, the president sent in tanks to
clear the street. But the troops refused to fire, prompting one of the most iconic
images of the revolution - nuns kneeled in front of tanks with rosaries in their hands
and uttering their prayers.

After just four days, President Marcos stepped down and fled the country. On
February 25th 1986, Corazon Aquino was proclaimed as the 11th President of the
Republic of the Philippines. She was the first female president of the country.

The bloodless revolution is a source of pride for all Filipinos and is seen as a
template for similar non-violent uprisings around the world.For several years, this
has been a holiday for schools. It was a nationwide holiday to mark the 30th
anniversary and since 2019, it has been declared a special non-working day.

After reading the “Alice in Wonderland” and the “History of People Power
Revolution”, make a comparison between fiction and non-fiction literature and write
two separate statements or lines from the selections showing their differences.

What is It

Fiction is created in the mind through your imagination. Fiction is derived from
the Latin word “fictus” which means “to form”. You invent stories and choose
characters appropriate for the story. There are three main types of fiction: short
story, novella, and novel. Fiction aims to entertain, educate, and inspire you. Non-
fiction is created based on facts. It is creative like personal essay, scientific paper,
autobiography, diaries, journals, memoirs, and romances. Non-fiction helps you
develop analytical and persuasive capability.

Literature is divided into two functions: non-fiction and fiction

1. Non-fiction gives actual facts and information. It means that non-fiction is

not invented.

Example

Twelve Years a Slave (Solomon Northup)

https://www.softschools.com/examples/grammar/nonfiction_examples/641/

13
 2. Fiction is a collective term for literary narratives that portray imaginary
people caught in imaginary situations usually read for pleasure and intended
to expand or refine life and quicken the senses.
3.
Example

Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carrol)

https://literarydevices.net/fiction/

Literature is divided into two types: prose and poetry. Prose is ordinary
language that follows regular grammatical conventions and does not contain a formal
metrical structure while poetry contains lines and stanzas. Below are some of the
fictional prose and poetry with its corresponding description:

Fictional Prose

1. Short story – it focuses on a single main incident, involving one or more

characters and produce one dominant impression.
2. Novel – a long narrative prose which is divided into chapters.
3. Legend – these are about origins based on historical people or events, handed
down from the past.
4. Myth – it deals with stories about gods and goddesses.
5. Fable – It is a story where the characters are animals with human attributes;
they may be called beast tales; It is intended for children and to teach them
truth or moral.
6. Parable – refers to stories which are Biblical in nature.
7. Folktale – refers to a prose narrative for amusement and instruction.
8. Play – also called drama that is performed on stage.

There are four elements that make up fiction which are interrelated to make up a
cohesive story.

1. Plot is the framework of fiction, consists of related sequence of events, which

through conflict progress to a crisis or climax, which is the turning point of the

14
 story, and denouement, where the complication is solved and ends happily or
tragically.

2. Characters are the persons about whom the story is told; they influence the
events and are influenced by them.

3. Setting refers to the time, pace and general environment in which a piece of
fiction occurs. Details of setting may either be stated or suggested.

4. Theme is the underlying main idea of a literary work, a philosophy or observation

of life, a principle of truth which the author conveys to the readers.

A journal is a record of your incidents, experiences, and ideas to express your

feelings in a particular situation or on a current event. Writers keep journal to record
observations in the happenings into writing stories.
Types of Journal

• A daily journal, which can be used to record memorable moments from your
life.
• An expressive journal, which is designed to give you space to pour out your
emotions and feelings.
• A dream journal that can help you put all those vivid dreams into paper.
• A travel journal that enables you to document all your wild excursions.

How to Write Travel Journals: 10 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Journaling

1. Use your journal to plan your trip

Prepare your plans and activities for the day. Which hotels are you
interested to stay? Writing down on your travel journal is more creative and
interesting than printing itinerary of your travel.

What is the best part? You decide how it looks and choose what type of art
you would want to include there. Personally, you can do anything. Whether you
want it a simple kind of theme or artful, it is all up to your decision.

2. Write about what you imagine it will be like

Now that you have prepared your itinerary worked out for your travel, it is
high time to put on your thinking caps on and turn on the imagination switch.
Think of the tourist spot or place that you are about to visit and imagine on how
things will be like once you are there.

After preparing the activities for your vacation, think and list down all your
expectations for the visit. So that you can make a comparison after doing the
activity and find out whether or not you have achieved your expectations.

3. Write during your trip

17
 Sometimes, you forget the important things to bring with you in the first
place since you want to pay attention to everything that is new right before your
eyes. Mostly, you would often write those moments at night when you are alone
at the hotel room while others are still busy with the activities they are engaging
or taking too many pictures on the beautiful and attractive tourist spots.

List down all what you have seen, all what you have felt, all what you have
smelled, all what you have tasted, and all what you have heard during the travel
diary right away.

While the memory is still fresh and active, write what you remember.
Sometimes, the details of your experience and actions make the travel so real:
the people you talk to whom you ask for directions, the street food that you buy,
and the historical monument of a certain tourist spot, etc.

4. Add pictures to your journal

Travel journal will never be attractive without collecting pictures. Pictures

to the journal would serve as evidence that you really visited the area and
witness those wonderful sceneries of nature or marvelous towers. Adding
pictures to your journal will make it more colorful and meaningful and will
remind you about the places you visited and the beautiful moment you
captured.

5. Write about your trip after you leave

Try to make a record of your travel experiences after the visit, If you have
listed your own expectations and aspirations before your travel start. Recall the
memories of yours while it is still in your mind.

Here are some questions that can help you get started:
✓ What was it like?
✓ What did you learn?
✓ What surprised you?
✓ What disappointed you?

18
6. Write about the food.

When you are in another place, you would like to try a different kind of
cuisine or store nearby and you would want to go out of your comfort zone. The
reason why people wish to go beyond what they usually eat is simply because
they want to explore and experience new things that they do not experience yet
in their whole life.

7. The ups and the downs.

You will feel not comfortable even in a trip; there are things that you will
find so irritable or not enjoyable. It can be the bedroom, the comfort room, food,
the companion, some of the tourist spot, and even the weather of the town where
you are located.

8.Write about yourself.

Reflect on your new discoveries, what made you uncomfortable and what
encouraged you. Tell your new learning about yourself on the trip. Traveling can
help you improve your perspective in life. Think about your journey and if it
helped you grow in some point.

9. What lesson have you learned about your trip

Be positive and make complicated things easy. Learn from the mistakes
you committed and value even the little act of kindness you received. If there is
one good trait about the people you meet, their open-mindedness, hospitality or
charisma, be thankful and learn from them.

10. Write a travel guide.

Perhaps you just returned from your trip and you come up with a travel
guide for your family and friends who have the same interest in traveling to the
same place like you. With your experience, you can help them by suggesting

19
more options for their itinerary. For instance, you can first recommend the place
that you have already visited that really fascinated you and felt that tourist spot
is safe for the tourists.

You can also mark those places in your journal If there are specific areas
that you did not visit because of time shortage, so that your friends can
experience a longer period of time and explore in that place. For the foods to eat,
you can provide them the list of food stalls that sell the cheapest but satisfying
one and where they are located. You can also suggest for affordable travel deals
and hotels to budget their expenses. Lastly, the most important, inform them to
coordinate with their family and loved ones while in the vacation.

Vloggers would usually inform their viewers on the things they need to
bring for this certain place because every town has their own rules and
especially places have different temperature. In addition, certain tourist spots
will not allow flash photography or will ask the tourists to wear appropriate
attire for a religious location.
