_________________________________
Literary elements, also known as literary devices, are writing techniques used to create artistic special effects, that immerse the reader into a narrative, story, or text. Literary elements are specific ways that storytellers use words in specific patterns to tell their stories. They are considered the main tools in a writer’s toolbox. Popular literary devices include allusion, diction, foreshadowing, imagery, metaphors, similes, and personification, which we’ll cover more in our list of literary elements.
Think of literary devices as the spice to writing. To prevent your book or story from tasting dull and bland to the reader, make it pop with life by sprinkling in some effective literary elements throughout.

An excerpt from Choose, page 106
The man behind us whispers,
Choose America,
more opportunities there,
especially for a family
with boys ready to work.
Mother whispers back,
My sons
must first go to college.
If they're smart
America will give them
scholarships.
Mother chooses.
