- terms you must use when analyzing a writer is the word imagery which is an umbrella term for many literary techniques or
- devices that help writers to create a visual image in the mind of the reader for example a metaphor
- is one of the devices used to create imagery okay tip one to zoom in and out the idea of zooming in and out
- of a text is very useful for understanding what the examiners are asking you to do imagine you have a camera and you want a
- picture of the whole landscape to get an overview of the setting in literary terms this would be the genre the audience and the purpose
- the text you're studying might be a biography aimed at people over 40 years old with the purpose of entertaining and
- informing by understanding this you have zoomed out on the text when you zoom in you are closing in on the finer details of the language and
- literary devices being used to create imagery this is the skill that the exam would want you to prove you can do well tip two a really useful acronym to use
- in the exam is dice which stands for the four skills in the assessment criteria you are being marked on you have to be
- able to identify devices used by the writer to create imagery meaning or an effect on the reader like metaphors or similes you have to
- understand what the writer is inferring by creating this image you have to be able to understand how words or images have connotations which
- creates meaning and you have to be able to explain the effect this has on the reader your job in the exam is to roll the dice

- a concise paragraph like this in the sentence john exploded with anger the writer uses an effective metaphor
- creating dramatic imagery that could reflect his personality the word exploded has connotations of sudden or unexpected
- violence explosions are shocking and have a powerful often negative impact on others therefore the writer could be inferring
- that john's behavior is negative or shocking or that he perhaps has an unpredictable or dangerous impact
- on others the slightest thing could set him off into a rage this creates the effect of anticipation or dramatic tension for
- the reader the language devices you can use could include metaphor simile personification pathetic fallacy
- illusion power of three repetition alliteration symbolism motif rhetorical question hyperbole or superlatives there are many
- more but you can also zoom in on certain dramatic verbs or powerful adjectives or nouns that have different connotations
- like the word blood which could mean an injury or family but could also symbolize passion horror violence life or death
- you can also focus on sentence types simple compound complex minor or sentence functions
- declarative imperative exclamatory interrogative or punctuation exclamation marks hyphens ellipses question mark finally
- you could look at the tone which could include sarcasm irony humor or could be emotive tip 3 use transitional phrases to link
- your different points the writer begins by creating the writer then uses the writer also presents tip 4 keep
