A. Explore
Literary elements are writing techniques employed by the creative writer to produce
artistic effects that will immerse the reader into narratives, stories, or texts. It may sound
novel to you but you will be surprised to know that you have met some of them in your
everyday life. If you have watched movies, have read some books, or have intently listened
to song lyrics, then you have encountered several literary elements without realizing it.
In your previous lesson, you have studied the different literary genres.
This module will provide you with the information that will help you understand the
different literary elements and will enable you to create samples of these elements based
on one’s experience.
B. Firm-Up
Literary Elements are specific means by which writers or storytellers manipulate words in
specific patterns to unfold their stories and experiences. These are considered the main
tools in a writer’s toolbox. You can avoid dull and bland-tasting stories or any literary pieces
by popping it with life by sprinkling in appropriate and effective literary elements. The more
literary elements that you employ the more powerful and creative your writing will be.
While it’s okay to stick to some literary elements that are distinctive from your style, variety
is always beneficial. This prevents you from overusing several literary elements. This can
also strengthen your writing skills and creativity.
Exploiting literary elements in writing transforms us into becoming prolific writers and
storytellers. Take note that successful classic and modern writers used literary elements in
their crafts. Here are reasons why you should utilize literary elements in any piece of work:
1. Literary elements add special effects to your writing.
2. They establish a connection with the reader.
3. They engage and captivate readers.
4. They help you in conveying abstract information.
5. They paint vivid pictures of your words.
6. They enhance the reader’s vicarious experience.
The number one rule in writing is to show, don’t tell. By applying literary elements, you can
show the readers what is going on in your story instead of telling them. They will be able to
know what the characters know, feel what the characters feel, and see what the characters
see. You may consider the following tips to incorporate literary elements in your craft:
1. Read the work of other writers.
2. Do not overdo it.
Fiction has six literary elements namely character, setting, plot, point-of view, conflict, and
theme.
