My learning was lit

This year I learned the following terms and I applied them as I read some pretty great stuff:

Allusion is a reference to something the author thinks we should know
The plot is the sequence of events in a story
The theme is the main idea
Diction is the choice and use of words
Syntax is the arrangement of words used to create well formed sentences
Indirect Characterization is reference to a character without mention of their name
Direct Characterization is referencing to a character directly
Symbolism is using something to represent another thing bigger than its actual meaning.
Synecdoche is a figure of speech where a part is made the represent the whole
