    CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENT LITERATURE

    Briefly discuss the verbal elements of children and adolescent literature.

    The topic discussed in the module was discussed to us many times already however, this is my
    first time understanding the different elements of literature in a concrete and specific way. It is because,
    unlike today where everything was put together in a single lesson, what we did in class before was like “a
    step-by-step process” where some topics realted will only be tackled at the next grade level.
    In the previous lesson, we have tackled that literature is any written work, and, literature is indeed
    a written work but, not just as simple as that. “Literature is not just “a mere writing/written output”
    because it follows a certain standard and it comprises of different elements.
    Upon reading the module, I realized how crucial “Literature” is not only to writers but to readers
    as well. From thousands/millions of books available to us today, anyone can have their books. However,
    the thing is that how can we be able to choose the best books to read? As stated in the module, one way is
    by “reading the books of award-winning authors and illustrators.” But the problem is that compared to
    what is available, the list of award-winning books is few. So, what we are going to do is to analyze and
    evaluate a book so we can still enjoy the fun of reading.
    As a reader, the first thing that we should do is to identify the writer’s purpose. A writer’s
    purpose can either be to persuade, inform, entertain or describe. This can be confusing especially that
    there are times when you will feel like the writer is informing you when in fact, it is persuading you to
    agree with him/ her. And, the only way out from that is by knowing the fact. The second is to identify the
    plot. The plot is the sequence of events in the story, and it has four primary types the cumulative, linear,
    episodic, and circular. It has as well three elements namely the narrative order, conflict, and parts of the
    action. Under the Conflict are the internal and external conflict and under Parts of Action are the
    suspense, climax, and denouement. Moreover, the kind of Internal Conflict is the “Person Vs, Self”, while
    on the other hand in the External Conflict are the: person vs. person, person vs. nature, person vs. society,
    person vs. supernatural, and person vs. technology. In addition are the parts of plots, the basic situation,
    rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Furthermore, after we identify the plots is we need to
    identify the characters. Identifying the characters is not that easy because there are many types of it like
    the protagonist, antagonist, what we called the dynamic character, static, foil, flat, round, and lastly
    stock. The next step is to identify the setting. I think that of all the upper mentioned information,
    identifying the setting is the hardest. It is because there are instances in the story where they(the author)
    do not mention it directly, but instead, they only give some details and let the reader have their
    interpretations. There are different types of settings, the backdrop, and integral setting. The fifth step is
    to identify the theme. It is what the author is saying through the story. Know that the theme is different
    from the moral of the story because a moral story is a lesson to be learned, and the theme is just an idea.
    Then after that is to identify the Point of View. The POV can either be first person, second person, or
    third person. And under the third person is what we called the limited, omniscient, and limited
    omniscient. Next is identify the tone and to identify the tone is to identify the story’s diction, persona,
    and mood. And finally, the last step is to identify the style. In my opinion, this is the most crucial part for
    it considers a lot of things this is also where the figurative language belongs. Expository, descriptive,
    persuasive, and narrative are the different parts of style. Connotation, imagery, understatement, symbol,
    puns and wordplay, and figurative language are the devices of style. And under the figurative language
    are alliteration, antithesis, apostrophe, assonance hyperbole, irony, litotes, metaphor, metonymy,
    onomatopoeia, oxymoron, personification, and simile. There are also different types of irony the verbal,
    situational, and dramatic.
    I almost forgot, as a reader, we should never forget and get confused with the two types of
    narrators which are the internal and external narrator. And with this information’s in mind, we can
    finally enjoy a book and choose the best from the tons of books available. Enjoy reading!
