| Question | Answer |
| Realism | realism is a literary technique practiced by many schools of writing. Although strictly speaking, realism is a technique, it also denotes a particular kind of subject matter, especially the representation of middle-class life. |
| Narrative techniques | Narrative techniques are the methods that writers use to give certain artistic and emotional effects to a story. Although the term gets used loosely in everyday speech to talk about narrative, a “story” is just a sequence of events in time. |
| Use of direct or indirect speech | Quoting or reporting spoken words. Makes the character come alive. We can “hear” the way s/he speaks – the actual vocab, grammar and tones. |
| Litotes | Deliberate understatement. Shows just how strong the emotion is and illustrates something of the character of the speaker/writer. |
| Euphemism | Use of a less objectionable or harsh expression to avoid upsetting or offending people. |
| Emotive Language | Choice of words which have specifically intended emotional effects or are intended to evoke an emotional response in the reader. |

| Critical Lens Essay | A critical lens essay is a type of analytical essay that focuses on a quotation from a piece of literature.
