How to use these flashcards

Use keyboard arrows (← →) to move between cards and Space to flip. On mobile, tap the card to flip and the arrows to navigate.

For these terms, try to recall an example poem from class. Ask yourself: Where does this poem use irony, paradox, or allusion — and what does that device add to its meaning? The more concrete the example, the stronger the memory.

Focus area: Unit 8 is the most advanced of the three poetry units. These devices directly target the sophistication point on the AP Lit rubric.
