QUARTER 2:MODULE 2

UNDERSTANDING UNCHANGING VALUES IN VUCA WORLD

 EXPECTATIONS:
1. Determine the different literary devices.
2. Identify the literary device used in the sentence.
 LITERARY DEVICE
• is a technique a writer uses to produce a special effect in their
writing.
• In literature, any technique used to help the author achieve his or
her purpose is called a literary device. Typically, these devices are
used for an aesthetic purpose – that is, they're intended to make
the piece more beautiful.
• Literary devices are the techniques and elements—from figures of
speech to narrative devices to poetic meters—that writers use to
create narrative literature, poetry, speeches, or any other form of
writing.
 LITERARY DEVICES

1.Anaphora is a figure of speech in which words repeat at the beginning of

successive clauses, phrases, or sentences.

• So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. 

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. 
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania...

• In every cry of every Man,

In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban
• For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
2.Parallelism is a literary device that connects ideas through similar structures of
grammar.

• Parallelism is when an author constructs parts of a sentence to be grammatically similar, often

repeating a specific word, phrase, or idea. 

•Parallelism is a figure of speech in which two or more elements of a sentence (or series of
sentences) have the same grammatical structure. 

•Parallelism has slightly different meanings, depending on the context, but it’s about balancing
the weight or structure of ideas and phrases.

In rhetoric, parallelism means balancing two or more ideas or arguments that are
equally important.
In grammar, it means using phrasing that is grammatically similar or identical in
structure, sound, meaning, or meter. As you can see from literary examples, this
technique adds symmetry, effectiveness, and balance to the written piece.

conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their
aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude." -Jesse Jackson
3. An allusion is a literary device that references a person, place, thing, or event. It is a
reference, typically brief, to a person, place, thing, event, or other literary work with
which the reader is presumably familiar. As a literary device, allusion allows a writer to
compress a great deal of meaning and significance into a word or phrase.

• You’re acting like such a Scrooge! (Alluding to Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, this line means
that the person is being miserly and selfish, just like the character Scrooge from the story.)

an allusion to the Greek story of Pandora, the first woman, who accidentally released evil into the world.

allusion to the Biblical story of the good Samaritan, from Luke 10:29-37 – a good Samaritan is someone
who helps others in need, just as the Samaritan does in the story.

trying.

4.Metaphor  is a literary device that imaginatively draws a comparison between two
unlike things in order help explain an idea or show hidden similarities.

• She is just a late bloomer.

• His heart of stone surprised me.
• Time is money.
• Your argument is a slippery slope.
