For these terms, try to recall an example from a short story you've read in class. Ask yourself: Where does this show up in the story, and why does it matter? The more concrete the example, the stronger the memory.

Focus area: Short fiction carries the most weight on the MCQ section. Mastering these style and characterization terms pays off across Units 4 and 7.
