Elements of Literature for Christian Schools is divided into three major units. In "The Marks of Literature" we will learn about attributes common to all great literature: imaginative comparison (such as metaphor, personification, synecdoche); sound and syntax (rhyme, alliteration, consonance); and thought and theme (organization, symmetry, parallelism). Next we will move on to a study of the customary ways literature is expressed -- through allusion, symbol, and irony -- in "The Modes of Literature." Finally and most comprehensively, we will look at "The Forms of Literature," a section including biography, short fiction, lyric poetry, drama, and personal essay. You will notice, however, that regardless of the area of study, we will always stay close to Scripture and use it as our starting point. - Introduction.
