Answers:
1. Alliteration: A repetition of initial sounds in two or more words of a line of poetry
An alliteration is a literaty device in which a series of words begin with the same consonant sound. An example of an alliteration would be "The barbarians broke through the barricade."
2. Caesura: The pause or break in a line of Anglo-Saxon poetry.
A caesura is a stop or pause in a metrical linea that creates a break in a verse, splitting it in equal parts.
3. Comitatus: In the Germanic tradition, the relationship between a leader and his warriors, or a king and his lords.
Comitatus is a term mostly used in the Germanic warrior culture to refer to an oath of fealty taken by warriors to their lords.
4. Kenning: A double metaphor, usually hyphenated. Example, "swan-road" for sea.
Kenning comes from Old Norse tradition and it refers to the combination of words to create a new expression with metaphorical meaning.
A: The book “the fault in our stars” made me look introspectively, and connect the character’s lives to my own. The character’s struggles with mortality and living life to the fullest made me reflect on my life and wonder if I am truly appreciating it and experiencing all life has to offer. I also made the connection between the author’s inability to answer Hazel’s questions about the book, and how there were no answers for the problems in Hazel’s life. She was frustrated that there was seemingly no reasoning behind the author’s writing, just like there was no reason she had cancer, or that she was in this situation. Her anger towards the author symbolized a deeper anger that she would never truly “have answers” and that her life would never truly be fulfilled because she was going to die at such a young age.
I didn’t exactly know if you meant meaningful connections within the story or meaningful connections to your person life but I hope this helped!
Resolution
The resolution of the story is the end. All of the conflicts are solved and subplots are wrapped up. Tension usually builds as the conflict begins and becomes more complicated. The author does this through the sequence of events, language, conflict, sentence structure, tone, and mood. The resolution is not an area of tension in a story. If there is, usually it's so that there can be a sequel.
