Lit.+Devices+Used

Here we list the literature terms that we've discovered as we read. I've noticed some of you are finding it helpful to have your lit terms sheet out on your desk during class - that's a good idea. If you simply need a reminder about what they are, look back to the Lit Terms Glossary.

Give us the quote, tell us the term, and then explain how it works.
