Foreshadowing – a literary device in which an author suggests certain plot developments that will come later in the story.

Sarcasm - “a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter jibe or taunt.” Though irony is usually the immediate context, most authorities sharply distinguish sarcasm from irony; however, others argue that sarcasm may or often does involve irony or employs ambivalence. Sarcasm has been suggested as a possible bullying action in some circumstances.

Metaphor – a figure of speech that constructs an analogy (a comparison made to show a similarity) between two things or ideas; the analogy is conveyed by the use of a metaphorical word in place of some other word. For example: "Her eyes were glistening jewels". “At last, however, he had made firm rebellion against this //yellow light// thrown upon the color of his ambitions.”

Personification - giving human traits (qualities, feelings, action, or characteristics) to non-living objects (things, colors, qualities, or ideas)

Simile - a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things by employing the words "like", "as", or "than"

Pathos - appeal to emotion
