Literary terms include 'mood', 'theme', 'narrative', 'dramatic irony'. Like every other subject, English literature has its own vocabulary. Writing about a novel, play or poem requires you to understand these terms and be able to use them confidently.

Prose is an example of a literary term. Here is a further opportunity to work on your understanding of literary terms. Practice using these words in your essay writing so that they begin to become second nature to you. Your teacher will be impressed by your ability to describe and analyze literature with precision - and so will the examiners!
