    choice of details metaphors/similes sequential things that don’t make sense or (for lit)
    diction: connotation allusions first / last: why? seem weird motifs
    intertextuality spatial: repetition and contrast things that seem out of place or quotes
    people transitions time symbols
    places syntax anachronism characters
    TROPES juxtapositions ambiguities character actions
    Aristotelian appeals paradoxes things that should have been epiphanies
