November 18: Biography essays are due.
Our next 10 vocab words are due. Include the definition, part of speech, and examples, please. Write a sentence using each word. also.  

1 Parody: an imitation or mocking  of another work of art to make light or make fun of it in some way. Many people see it as a form of ridicule, while others feel it is a high form of flattery..

2 Satire:  Satire suggests, incites, or advocates a social or political change. Parody (word #2) and satire often (but not always) go hand-in-hand. Parody is really meant for mocking and it may or may not incite the society

3 Catharsis: An emotional release through which one feels a lessening of stress or anxiety. It usually makes a person feel renewed. Literature (movies, plays, operas, and ballets) can make us feel this way. 

4 Antithesis: 

A rhetorical devise used in literature that puts two contrasting ideas together. Arguably the most famous six words in all of Shakespeare’s work are a great example of antithesis.

 “To be, or not to be, that is the question.” — Hamlet

5 Hyperbole: an exaggeration that is usually used for emphasis and humor. Hyperboles are used in speaking and writing for effect. Instead of telling you child that something is an exaggeration, try saying, “What amazing use of hyperbole!” Or, “You need not use hyperbole to make your point.”  ;-)

6 Anagram: a form of word play in which letters of a word or phrase are rearranged in such a way that a new word or phrase is formed.

7 Epiphany (as in “revelation, realization, sudden clear understanding) 

8 Colloquialism: In literature, colloquialism is the use of informal words, phrases or even slang in a piece of writing. Colloquial expressions that are indigenous to one’s own culture or geographic area tend to go unnoticed, because they are part of our life. When you read a book from another time period or geographical area, you will notice them more. 

9 Idiom: An idiom is a saying, phrase, or fixed expression in a culture that has a figurative meaning different from its literal meaning.

10 Poetic Justice: In literature, poetic justice is an ideal form of justice in which the good characters are rewarded and the bad characters are punished by an ironic twist of their fate.
