Pre-AP English II: Literary Devices Test Preview

Tomorrow (10/31) you will have an exam on the following literary devices. You will need to be able to recognize examples of them and produce your own sentence-length examples, as well:

• Alliteration


• Allusion


• Anaphora


• Apostrophe


• Diction


• Foreshadowing


• Flashback


• Hyperbole


• Imagery


• Metaphor


• Metonymy


• Onomatopoeia


• Oxymoron


• Paradox


• Personification


• Simile

Be sure to bring your copy of Lord of the Flies with you, as you'll need it to understand the context of some examples and find examples of your own in the text.

Failing this test will result in your automatic assignment to Patriot Academy on Wednesday, Nov. 2nd, and you will be unable to retest or submit corrections until you have attended a post-test tutorial.
