What is the difference between figurative and literal?

Literal1. Concrete, realistic language used by the author that

means exactly what it says. 2. Surface-level characters, events, settings, quotes, etc.

that have been presented realistically but could represent something more.

Figurative2. Abstract, creative language that compares unlike

things, exaggerates, or otherwise means something other than what it says.

3. Subterranean-level interpretation by the reader of what literal characters, events, settings, etc. represent.

FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE:PERSONIFICATION

Examples of personification: • “Hunger sat shivering on the road.” • “The flowers danced on the lawn.” • The winds of tropical storm Sandy yelled at my

window all night long.

SatireWhat is it?

Satire is a literary genre that uses irony, wit, and sometimes sarcasm to expose humanity’s vices and foibles, giving impetus, or momentum, to change or reform through ridicule.

It is a manner of writing that mixes a critical attitude with wit and humor in an effort to improve mankind and human institutions.

Satire

What is the message of this satirical cartoon?

Two types of Direct Satire

Horatian satire is a type of direct satire which pokes fun at human foibles with a witty even indulgent tone.

Juvenalian satire is a type of direct satire which denounces, sometimes with invective, human vice and error in dignified and solemn tones.

Horatian SatireIt seeks to criticize, rather than attack,

immorality or stupidity.In general, Horatian satire is gentler,

more sympathetic, and more tolerant of human folly.

Unlike Juvenalian satire, it serves to make us laugh at human folly as opposed to attacking a specific person or group.

Horatian Satire

What is the message of this satirical cartoon?

Juvenalian SatireIt is harsher than Horatian satire

because it often attacks and shows contempt for people.

Often, it seeks to address some evil in society through scorn and ridicule.

The Juvenalian satirist approaches his work in a more serious manner and uses dignified language to attack erroneous thinking or vice.

Juvenalian Satire

What is the message of this satirical cartoon?

Irony - a mode of expression, through words or events, conveying a reality different from and usually opposite to appearance or expectation.

Sarcasm (verbal irony)

Litotes are a form of understatement that involves making an affirmative point by denying its opposite.

– “Being tortured with fire must have been somewhat uncomfortable.”

– “Rap videos with dancers in them are not uncommon.“

– “There are a few Starbucks in America."

Hyperbole

A caricature is an exaggeration or other distortion of an individual's prominent

features or characteristics to the point of making that individual appear ridiculous.

Wit- clever expression, whether aggressive or harmless

picked on, so Jose went to join the Cobras. Ice, the gang leader, said that Jose would have to steal a bicycle as initiation. Jose was hesitant, but Ice said, “If you want in, you’ll go steal that bike at the minimart.” He knew it was wrong, but he grabbed the bike and rode it back to Ice. Ice was pleased and said, “Great. Roll the bike off the top of that building.” Jose didn’t want to, but he was so sick of his brother getting picked on. Jose rolled the bike to the building rooftop, closed his eyes, and pushed the bike off. He heard the sound of it smashing to pieces and the gang chuckling. Afterward, Ice told him that he had hesitated too much, so Jose couldn’t be in the gang. Jose couldn’t believe he did all of that for nothing, but he was kind of relieved that he was leaving the gang life behind him. He went home to find his little brother crying. “What’s wrong, Angel?” Jose asked concernedly. Angel replied in between sobs, “My… my… bike. Somebody stole my bike.”

Then she heard Scott continue to talk. “No, she’s nothing serious. And besides, you know you’re the one I love, Katie.” Annie’s heart dropped.

For homework:Create a political cartoon

It must include:• a current political issue that you

are well informed on • a goal; something you are

attempting to criticize or poke fun at for a purpose

• At least one form of Irony AND at least one of the following satirical elements: sarcasm, hyperbole, litotes, caricature, wit, ridicule.

PUNA pun is a type of word play that creates a

secondary meaning to a phrase by using words that sound or look alike, or have multiple

meanings.

Homographic pun A play on words that have more than one meaning, despite being spelled identically.

Ex. “A dog having puppies on the sidewalk is considered to be littering.”

The dog is “littering” by giving birth to puppies, and also “littering” by placing inappropriate items on

the sidewalk

60 seconds to write a homographic pun!

Homophonic puns A play on words that simply sound alike, rather

than a single word with multiple meanings.Ex. “Why do we still have troops in Germany?

Answer: To keep the Russians in Czech" This pun relies on the ambiguity of the

homophones “check” and “Czech” when spoken.

60 seconds to write a homophonic pun!

Homonymic puns A play on words which are both homographs and

homophones. Ex. "Did you hear about the little moron who

strained himself while running into the screen door?"

This pun plays on 'strained' as "to give much effort" and "to filter".

=60 seconds to write a homonymic

pun!

NOW

Let’s take a look at the script for the comedy routine “Who’s on First” by Abbott and Costello.

Identify the type of pun used :

Homophonic because “cantaloupe” sounds like “can’t elope” but is spelled differently.

Identify the type of pun used :

Homonymic because “chewy” and “Chewy” are spelled the same, sound the same, but mean

different things.

Identify the type of pun used :

You can tune a guitar,but you can't tuna fish.

Unless of course you play bass.

=•“Tuna fish” is homophonic with “tune a fish”•“bass” (the fish) and “bass” the guitar are homographic because they’re spelled the same but do not sound the same.

Identify the type of pun used :

Homophonic because “missed

steak” and “mistake” sound the same but are not spelled the

same.

Identify the type of pun used :

is fueled by an Energizer battery.
