Literary Terms

Don't fall asleep!  Many  people start to get very tired when they sit down in a literature class.  I once heard a student snore!  I allowed the other students to throw wads of paper at him to wake him up.  He didn't survive English.  This is sad because literature - and in our case English literature - has so much to offer all students, just like math, biology, and physics.  Some of the terms that relate to literature can be very confusing.  However, the links in this category should help you to survive your English classes.
