Figure of speech

A figure of speech or rhetorical figure[1] is figurative language in the form of a


single word or phrase. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal
meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words.
There are five main figures of
speech: simile,metaphor, hyperbole, personification and synecdoche (Incomplete).[dubious discuss]Figures
of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity. However, clarity may also
suffer from their use, as any figure of speech introduces an ambiguity between literal and figurative
interpretation.

Elements of a narrative
The setting of a story describes the environment that events take place in. It includes
location, time period, culture, mood and other atmospheric qualities.
The theme is the central idea of a story or narrative. It summarizes what the story is

The plot of a narrative is shaped by the events that unfold. It typically includes a conflict
or problem, a climax, and a resolution. The climax is generally the culmination of events
that leads to the resolution. The plot also involves the structure or arrangement of the
events.
Characters are developed in a story through their actions, words and descriptive traits.
Characters are categorized as a protagonist or antagonist, depending on their role in
the events that transpire.

Words that link two parts of a sentence are called conjunctions (see "to
conjoin"). The most common ones are 'and', 'or' and 'but'. There are three
basic types of conjunctions:
coordinating conjunctions
used to connect two independent clauses
subordinating conjunctions
used to establish the relationship between the dependent clause and the rest
of the sentence
correlative conjunctions
used to join various sentence elements which are grammatically equal

The point of view relates to the perspective that the story is told from, while the tone is
created by the feelings portrayed by the characters. The atmosphere of a story may
also contribute to the tone. In addition, imagery or symbolism are employed as narrative
elements in some types of stories.
