Connotation and Denotation
Denotation is the actual definition or meaning of the word.
The website below is a rap that will help you remember and understand the difference between denotation and connotation.
Point of View
Second Person is when the narrator is telling a story of another character by using "you".
Third Person Limited is when the narrator knows the thoughts of one character and uses "they", "he", and "she".
Third Person Omniscient is when the narrator knows all the thoughts and feeling of every character in the story.
The website below is a video that will help you remember the difference between first, second, third limited, and third omniscient point of views.
Simile and Metaphor
Metaphor is when something is a comparison of one thing to another without using the words, like or as.
