Term explanation
allegory: Allegories are typically used as literary
devices or rhetorical devices that convey hidden meanings through symbolic
figures, actions, imagery, and/or events, which together create the moral,
spiritual, or political meaning the author wishes to convey
antagonist: is a character, group of characters,
institution, or concept that stands in, or represents, opposition against which
the protagonist must contend. In other words, an protagonist is a person or a
group of people who oppose the main character.
protagonist: meaning "player of the first part, chief actor" or main character is a narrative’s central
or primary personal figure, who comes into conflict an opposing major character
or force. The audience is intended to mostly identify with the protagonist.
flat
character: A flat character is a
minor character in a work of fiction who does not undergo substantial change or
growth in the course of a story. Also referred to as
"two-dimensional characters" or "static characters," flat
characters play a supporting role to the main character, who as a rule should
be round.
round
character: A round character is a
major character in a work of fiction who encounters conflict and is changed by
it. Round characters tend to be more fully developed and described than
flat, or static, characters. If you think of the characters you most love in
fiction, they probably seem as real to you as people you know in real life.
This is a good sign that they are round characters.
foreshadowing: is a literary device by which an author
hints what is to come. It is used to avoid disappointment. It is also sometimes
used to arouse the reader. A hint that is designed to mislead the audience is
referred to as a red herring. A similar device is the flash forward (also known
as prolepsis).
flashback: It is an interjected scene that takes the
narrative back in time from the current point in the story. Flashbacks are
often used to recount that happen before the story’s primary sequence of events
to fill in crucial backstory.
in
medias res: It is the literary and artistic narrative technique of relating
a
story from the midpoint rather than the beginning. In an in media res
narrative, the
story opens with dramatic action rather than exposition setting up the
characters and situation. For example: Odysseus’s journey when he was held
captive on Calypso’s island
innovation: is a new
idea, or more-effective device or process. Innovation can be viewed as
the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated
needs, or existing market needs. This is accomplished through more-effective
products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are
readily available to markets, governments and society.

The
boy who cried wolf
It is one of
Aesop's Fables, numbered 210 in the Perry Index. From it is derived the English
idiom "to cry wolf", defined as "to give a false alarm" in
Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable and glossed by the Oxford English Dictionary
as meaning to make false claims, with the result that subsequent true claims
are disbelieved.
