Literal/nonliteral language

Parts of a book, play, and poem

Point of View

Stories are made up of

• Chapters. Each chapter adds new events to the story.

• Every story has a beginning, middle, and end.

Plays are made up of

Scenes. Scenes are similar to chapters in a book. Every time the continuous action of a scene ends, a new scene begins.

Poems

• Poems are made up of lines in a stanza.

• A stanza is similar to a paragraph. It expresses different thoughts/events.

• Poems use a lot of non-literal language to express deeper meanings.

• Poems often use repetition to make a point. Example: "Little by little, each day it grew; Little by little, it sipped the dew; Downward it sent out a thread-like root; Up in the air sprung a tiny shoot." What is repeated here? Why? Where is non-literal language used?
