FIGURES OF SPEECH
What is a Figure of Speech?
A figure of speech is a word or phrase using figurative language—language that
has other meaning than its normal definition. In other words, figures of speeches
rely on implied or suggested meaning, rather than a dictionary definition.
Figures of speech make up a huge portion of the English language, making it
more creative, more expressive, and just more interesting! Many have been
around for hundreds of years—some even thousands—and more are added to
our language essentially every day. This article will focus on a few key forms of
figures of speech, but remember, the types are nearly endless!

LYRIC POETRY
What is Lyric Poetry?
A formal type of poetry which expresses personal emotions or feelings, typically
spoken in the first person. It is not equivalent to song lyrics, though they are
often in the lyric mode. The term derives from a form of Ancient Greek
literature, the lyric, which was defined by its musical accompaniment, usually
on a stringed instrument known as a lyre.
What are the kinds of Lyric poetry?
Song. Intended to be sung.
Elegy. A formal lament for the death of a particular person (for
example Tennyson’s In Memoriam A.H.H.). More broadly defined, the

ELEGY
What is an Elegy?
Elegy is a form of literature that can be defined as a poem or song in the form of
elegiac couplets, written in honor of someone deceased. It typically laments or
mourns the death of the individual.
Elegy is derived from the Greek work elegies, which means a song of
bereavement sung along with a flute. The forms of elegy we see today were
introduced in the 16th century.
What are the features of Elegy?
Just like a classical epic, an elegy typically starts with the
invocation of the muse, and then proceeds by referencing
traditional mythology.
It often involves a poet who knows how to phrase thoughts
imaginatively in the first person.
Questions are raised by the poet about destiny, justice, and
fate.
The poet associates the events of the deceased with events in
his own life by drawing a subtle comparison.
This kind of digression gives the poet space to go beyond the
main or crude subject to a deeper level where the connotations
might be metaphorical.
Examples of Elegy from Literature:
In Memory of W. B. Yeats (By W. H. Auden)
“With the farming of a verse
Make a vineyard of the curse,
Sing of human unsuccess
In a rapture of distress;
In the deserts of the heart
Let the healing fountain start,
In the prison of his days
Teach the free man how to praise.”

CONTEXT CLUES
What is a Context Clue?
Context clues are hints found within a sentence, paragraph, or passage that a
reader can use to understand the meanings of new or unfamiliar words. Learning
the meaning of a word through its use in a sentence or paragraph is the most
practical way to build vocabulary, since a dictionary is not always available
when a reader encounters an unknown word.
Note: A reader must be aware that many words have several possible meanings.
Only by being sensitive to the circumstances in which a word is used can the
reader decide upon an appropriate definition to fit the context.
DEFINITION / DESCRIPTION CLUE
The new term may be formally defined, or sufficient explanation may be given
within the sentence or in the following sentence. Clues to definition include
“that is,” commas, dashes, and parentheses.
Examples:
a. His emaciation, that is, his skeleton-like appearance, was frightening to see.
“Skeleton-like appearance” is the definition of “emaciation.”
EXAMPLE CLUES
Sometimes when a reader finds a new word, an example might be found nearby
that helps to explain its meaning. Words like including, such as, and for
example, point out example clues.
Examples:
a. Piscatorial creatures, such as flounder, salmon, and trout, live in the coldest
parts of the
ocean.
“Piscatorial” obviously refers to fish.
b. Celestial bodies, including the sun, moon, and stars, have fascinated man
through the
centuries.
“Celestial” objects are those in the sky or heavens.
What is an Adjective?
An adjective describes or modifies noun/s and pronoun/s in a sentence. It
normally indicates quality, size, shape, duration, feelings, contents, and more
about a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives usually provide relevant information about the nouns/pronouns they
modify/describe by answering the questions: What kind? How many? Which
one? How much? Adjectives enrich your writing by adding precision and
originality to it.
Example:
o The team has a dangerous batsman. (What kind?)
o I have ten candies in my pocket. (How many?)
o I loved that red car. (Which one?)
o I earn more money than he does. (How much?)
What is an Adverb?
An adverb is a word/a set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, and other
adverbs. It tells when, where, and how an action is performed or indicates the
quality or degree of the action.
Many adverbs end in -ly but some words which end in -ly (such as friendly) are
not adverbs. Many words can be both adverbs and adjectives according to their
activity in the sentence.
Example:
o Robin is always hungry for success.
o I love her very much.
o He is running fast.
o Alex works hard.
o He wrote that willingly.

HISTORICAL NOVEL
What is a Historical Novel?
Historical novel, a novel that has as its setting a period of history and that
attempts to convey the spirit, manners, and social conditions of a past age with
realistic detail and fidelity (which is in some cases only apparent fidelity) to
historical fact. More often it attempts to portray a broader view of a past society
in which great events are reflected by their impact on the private lives of
fictional individuals.
!!!
The work may deal with actual historical personages, as does Robert Graves’s I,
Claudius (1934), or it may contain a mixture of fictional and historical characters.
It may focus on a single historic event, as does Franz Werfel’s Forty Days of
Musa Dagh (1934), which dramatizes the defense of an Armenian stronghold.
Elements:
Conflict. The problem faced by the characters in the novel of which
there are two kinds:

Christina Rossetti,
‘One Sea-Side Grave’
Unmindful of the roses,

A reaper tired reposes
Among his gathered corn:
So might I, till the morn!
Cold as the cold Decembers,
Past as the days that set,
While only one remembers
And all the rest forget, –
But one remembers yet.
