- Sensory details are elements that appeal to the five senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) in a literary work. For example, "The warm, soft fur of the kitten" (touch).
- To interpret the meaning of an allusion from its source, one needs to know the original work or reference. For instance, if a text says "He was a real Scrooge" (allusion to A Christmas Carol), we know it means he is miserly.
- Recalling the source of an allusion helps in understanding its full significance. If we know an allusion is from Hamlet, we can better understand its implications in the new text.
- Interpreting figures of speech like metaphors ("Her eyes were diamonds") or similes ("Brave as a lion") involves understanding the non - literal comparison.
- Classifying figures of speech requires knowledge of different types such as personification (giving human traits to non - humans: "The wind whispered"), hyperbole (exaggeration: "I've told you a million times"), etc.
