SUMMARY

Chapter 1 English Language Artsadjective--n.a word that describes a noun or a pronoun. You need to be able to pick out adjectives in sentences, and you also need to use them for your own writing.Bad, good, smart, rich,andpoorare all adjectives. adverb--n.a word that describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. What I just said for adjectives goes for adverbs. You can remember which words an adverb modifies because the parts of speech it modifies are part of its name: ad- (adjectives, adverbs) and -verb (verbs).Very, really, not, incredibly, amazinglyandobviouslyare all adverbs. alliteration--n.the use of two or more words with the same initial sound in a sentence or phrase.Example: SlothyS. Slothstersankslowly into thesofa,sighing.almanac--n.an annual reference book that gives various facts and figures in tabular form. You can use an almanac to find average temperatures, elected officials, and all of the World Series winners.analogy--n.a comparison between two things, made in order to explain or clarify an idea.Example:Pop music fans and hard rock fans can't stand each other's music.Oil and water do not mix.analyze--v.to study carefully to figure out something. I must say, after analyzing all the latest Internet search engines, I still like Yahoo! the best. It is fast, gets me the best results, and is easiest to navigate.antonym--n.a word that means the opposite.Goodis the antonym ofbad. Overis the antonym ofunder.I have listed antonyms for lots of words throughout this book.article--n.a word that signals a noun.Example: A, an,andtheare examples of articles. assonance--n.a partial rhyme where the vowels rhyme, but the consonants do not.Example:The ball was hit at Carl, but he was looking at the stars, so it hit him in the arm.atlas--n.a book of maps. You can use an atlas to find geographical information.bibliography--n.the list of sources used as research in a book or paper.Example:The bibliography for my research paper on baked beans included the bookHormel: Can of Plenty,by G.A.S. Flame, published in 1923 by Bacon Books.character development--n.the building of a character in a story, piece by piece. The pieces used to build a character include physical descriptions, behavior, relationships with other characters, and reactions to occurrences.characteristic--n.special quality. In English language arts, physical characteristics are often used to describe a character in story or the story's setting.Example:Some characteristics of Frankenstein include a high, square forehead and rivets coming out of the sides of his head.clarify--v.to make clearer. On tests, you will often be asked to clarify sentences and what characters in stories are talking about.Example:"Jim Carrey's comedic brilliance over the span of his film career is unsurpassed in the history of cinema" can be clarified as "Jim Carrey is funnier than anyone, ever."clause--n.a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate.cliche--n.a saying that is used too much.Example:It is a cliche to call cafeteria food dog food, because so many people have called it dog food before. In general, when writing a story, you want to avoid using cliches. climax--n.the big event that a story builds toward. Stories of suspense usually have the biggest, best climaxes because the whole point of a suspense story is to get you on the edge of your seat and then have a big bang at thKensler, Chris is the author of 'Word Whiz's Greatest Hits Middle School Edition', published 0006 under ISBN 9780743211093 and ISBN 074321109X.
