The term imagery has various applications. Generally, imagery includes all kinds of sense perception (not just visual pictures). In a more limited application, the term describes visible objects only. But the term is perhaps most commonly used to describe figurative language, which is as a theme in literature. Many of the fictional stories and that we have read throughout this semester have contained a great deal of imagery.

Simile is a direct, expressed comparison between two things essentially unlike each other, but resembling each other in at least one way using the words "like" or "as" in the comparison. In formal prose the simile is a device both of art and explanation, comparing the unfamiliar thing (to be explained) to some familiar thing (an object, event, process, etc

End-rhymes are words at the end of successive lines that rhyme with each other:

Alliteration is the repetition of sounds including consonants in words close together, particularly using letters at the beginning of words or stressed syllables. In Old English, each line is divided by a pause, and the stressed syllables in the first half-line alliterate with those in the second half-line.

Personification is the attribution of human qualities to inanimate objects or abstract concepts. Personification heightens a reader's emotional response to what is being described by giving it human qualities and therefore human significance.

Internal rhymes are rhyming words within a line. A perfect rhyme is one in which the two sounds correspond exactly ("by hook or by crook"). In partial rhyme the sounds are similar but not identical.

Meter is the organization of speech rhythms (verbal stresses) into regular patterns, in terms of both the arrangement of stresses and their frequency of repetition per line of verse. Poetry is organized by the division of each line of verse into "feet," metric units which each consist of a particular arrangement of strong and weak stresses. The most common metric unit is the iambic foot, in which an unstressed syllable is followed by a stressed one. Meter is also determined by the number of feet in a line. A line with five feet is called pentameter; thus, a line of five iambs is known as "iambic pentameter" (the most common metrical form in English poetry).

Two things I have acquired from this class are that there is more to literature than just plays, poems, and nonfiction stories. I also learned that there are stories behind the words and writing styles to make up the stories. The literary terms and rhetorical devices that I have described help makeup the literary world. I believe that without these vital ingredients that it would not be possible.
