Repetition

Parallelism

Metaphor

Analogy

Repetition - a literary device that repeats the same words or phrases a few
times to make an idea clearer.

Examples:

1. I‘m nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody too?

Then there‘s a pair of us-don‘t tell!

They‘d banish us you know.

2. Because I do not hope to

turn again Because I do not
hope

Because I do not hope to turn…

Parallelism - is the use of components in a sentence that are grammatically

the

same; or similar in their construction, sound, meaning or meter.

Examples: 1. Like father, like son

2. Flying is fast, comfortable and safe

Metaphor - is a figure of speech which makes an implicit, implied or hidden
comparison between two things that are unrelated but share
some common characteristics.

Examples: 1. My brother was boiling

mad. 2. The assignment was
a breeze.

Analogy- a comparison in which an idea or a thing is compared to another

thing that is quite different from it.

Examples: 1. Just like a sword is the weapon of a warrior, a pen is the weapon
of
a writer.

2. ―The white mares of the moon rush along sky

Beating their golden hoofs upon the glass Heavens.‖

TASK 7: CHECKPOINT

Explain what literary device is used in the following passages and lines.

1. ―They crowded very close about him, with their hands always on him in a careful,
caressing grip, as though all the while feeling him to make sure he was there. It
was like men handling a fish which is still alive and may jump back into the water.‖

2. ―Shall I compare Thee to a summer‘s Day‖

3. What‘s in a name? That which we call a

rose By any other word would smell as
sweet.

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called

4. ―She is all states, and all princes, I.‖

5. ―It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it
was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of
incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was
the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.‖

III. LEARNING TASKS

Introduction:

We cannot avoid the fact that we will encounter problems in our lives.
But no matter how hard they are, there are always appropriate
solutions to them.

Activity

Direction: Provide a better solution for each of the following problems below.
 Analysis

Read this paragraph and see how the signal words were applied.

Weightlessness in Space

Astronauts face many problems in space caused by

weightlessness. One of these problems is floating around the cabin. To
solve this problem, astronauts wear shoes that are coated with a special
adhesive. This adhesive sticks to the floor of the cabin. Serving food is
another problem. It won't stay put on the table! Experts solved this
problem by putting food and drinks in pouches and tubes. It only needs
to be mixed with water. Weightlessness also causes problems when an
astronaut tries to work. The simple task of turning a wrench or a doorknob
can be difficult. Since there is no gravity to keep him down, when he
exerts a force in one direction, the opposite force may flip him over
completely. To solve this problem, he must be very careful about how
much force he uses to do these simple tasks. Here on earth, life is much
simpler, thanks to gravity.

Abstraction

A problem is something that causes trouble for the character in a story or

sentence.

The solution is how that character solves, or fixes the problem.

Problem-Solution uses signal words like because, one part of, as a result,
consequently, this led to, if…then, remedy, thus, due to and one step of the
solution is…. ,in order to solve, to solve this problem.
