AP Literary Terms 1-5 Remix


This remix will be focused on the stories of Disney becuase I love Disney and have always loved anything to do with Disney so the vocabulary words will have a relevance towards something Disney.

1. Allegory: a tale in prose or verse in which characters, actions, or settings respresent abstract ideas or moral qualities; a story that uses symbols to make a point.
 
There are way too many Disney movies to choose from so I chose Disney in general just becuase Disney uses many symbols in his movies to create ideas and get points across.

2. Alliteration: the repetition of similar initial sounds, usually consonants, in a group of words.
Mickey Mouse  Donald Duck

3. Allusion: a reference to a person, place, or event, or a literary work that a writer expects a reader to recognize.
Tangled: Allusion towards the fairy tale story Rapunzel by Brother's Grimm.
   Alice in Wonderland: Allusion towards the literary work Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

4. Ambiguity: something uncertain as to interpretation.

I chose this scene from The Lion King because, first off, I think it's a really funny scene, but also becuase it showed the ambiguity between the characters. Who has a scar? Is the monkey his uncle?

5. Anachronism: somthing that shows up in the wrong place or the wrong time.

  Pleasure Island from Disney's Pinocchio.
Pleasure Island really isn't the best place to end up, but it's not like Pinocchio was to know any better. I thought this would be a good example of anachronism. Because, really, if you show up in the wrong place, you're going to end up looking like this:
