You must illustrate the story to your
readers. Using literary elements will
clearly help the readers to establish the
scenarios of the stories. Utilizing these
elements will help you to have vivid
illustrations. Readers do not want a story
to be told but rather to see the storyline
by showing it to them. Readers want to
know what the characters perceptions,
emotions, and what the characters see in
the story and how would they react on
these.
Purdue University enumerated a
number of writing prompts that
can help you analyze nonfiction
texts in remote classrooms.
Although these writing prompts
were written with a few common
nonfiction genres in mind, they
can be easily adapted to work for
other nonfiction genres (or even,
with a little more work, fiction
genres).

As one who writes, we must
aspire to make our writing
meaningful to our readers. It
usually begins when we tap
on their emotions or feelings.
According
to
Geraghty
(2006),
creating
an
atmosphere
of
shared
emotions will help us connect
to our readers because
feelings are universal.
The universality of our
experiences
is
also
something
that
the
readers
identify
with
whenever we write, and
we can only transcend the
feelings through writing
evocatively with the help
of literary elements and
devices.
Some portion of appearing, and not
telling, through your story includes the
utilization of literary devices and
different strategies in your narration.
You can bring the reader into your story,
and urge them to connect with the content.
Literary devices can stimulate the reader’s
mind, and giving them a deeper reading
experience.
Without literary devices, there is a huge
possibility that the story will be dull and
boring. By incorporating literary techniques in
your writing, you add vivid color and interests
to your words, and avoid being a dull.
More common in fiction stories, literary devices
can help the author convey abstract concepts
or information to the reader. They can help
communicate the work’s overall meaning or
theme, without the writer having to directly
state the purpose.
Literary devices like imagery can
help to create visual pictures or
imageries
in
the
reader’s
imagination.
An analogy is a literary device used to point out
similarities between two entities. It used to
provide an explanation as well additional
information or context. You can use metaphors
and similes when creating an analogy. It is
usually effective in terms of providing a new or
deeper meaning about concepts through artistic
use of language.
Go over your list of experiences
and write an analogy about one
that you like most. Remember to
creatively
compare
your
experience using literary devices.
Happy writing! (Group Work)
