Chronological Order 0 Chronological order is when things happen in a story as they do in time. 0 Ex. The Lottery – first they game to the square, then they drew the tickets, then they killed the woman 0 A story with flashbacks (or flashforwards) is NOT told in chronological order Style/Stylistic Technique 0 If I saw Mr. Brandon walking down the hallway, and I said to you, “I really like Mr. Brandon’s style” 0 What would I be talking about? Style/Stylistic Technique 0 An author’s characteristic way of writing – something that defines who they are as writers 0 Stylistic Techniques are the different methods that the writer uses to create their style. An author may use metaphors, sentence variety, or unique descriptions 0 If you say “I love the way the author ________” then you are talking about the author’s style and stylistic techniques Satire 0 Satire is when people or ideas are made fun of in order to be humorous. This is most common in politics Denoument 0 Another word for conclusion of the story 0 In a plot line: 0 Introduction/Exposition Rising Action Climax 0 Falling Action Conclusion/Denoument Epiphany 0 The moment when a character (or person) has a moment of clarity and learns something significant 0 Ex. When a person sees a guitar in a shop and realizes they don’t want to be an architect, they want to be a musician.
