Explicit

If something is explicit it is in the text - there is evidence that you can point to - it can be
a fact or an opinion, but it is there in black and white.

For example: the text says "George did not like dogs and had never owned one."

The reader is perfectly clear about George's position on dogs.

If the statement in the question says "George was fond of dogs." - then this would go
against what was explicitly stated in the text and have to be EC.

Implicit

If something is implied (or implicit) it is being suggested by the text.

For example: the text says "George moved away from the dog, he'd never owned one."

This doesn't say the words that George didn't like dogs, but it is the feeling that you get
when you read it.
If the statement in the question said "George was fond of dogs." then this would go against
what was implied or suggested by the text and have to be IC.
Example:Denotation

For example, denotation of the word “blue” is the color blue, but its connotation is “sad”—read
the following sentence:

The blueberry is very blue.

We understand this sentence by its denotative meaning—it describes the literal color of the
fruit. In contrast, read the next sentence:

Susie is very blue.

If we understand this second sentence by its denotative meaning, it would mean that Susie is
literally the color blue. However, we understand this sentence by its connotative meaning,
which is that Susie is sad.

Example of Connotation: Sonnet 18 (By William Shakespeare)

Metaphors are words that connote meanings that go beyond their literal meanings.
Shakespeare, in his Sonnet 18, says:

“Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day…”

Here, the phrase “a Summer’s Day” implies the fairness of his beloved.
Example:Mood

Bouncing into the room,she lit up the vicinity with a joyous glow on her
face as she told about her fiancé and their wedding plans.

Example:Techniques

“The Pleasures of Imagination”by Joseph Addison

The pleasures of the imagination,taken in their full extent,are not so

gross as those of sense…Aman of polite imagination is let into a great
many pleasures…A man innocent pleasures as whole as possible,that be
may retire into them with safety…Delightful scenes.whenther in
nature,painting,or poetry,have a kindly influence on the body,as well as
the mind,and not only serve to clear and brighten the imagination,but
are able to disperse grief and melancholy…

Example:Tone

*writer centered
*the attitude a writer takes towards the subject or the reader
Allusion Example 1: “Careful, now. You don’t want to go opening Pandora’s Box.”

In this example, the allusion is Pandora’s Box. Because this is a reference to a real-life element,
it’s considered an allusion.

Diction Example 1: “I bid you adieu.”

The diction present here is formal diction, as most people don’t use “bid” and “adieu” regularly
in everyday speach.

Allegory Example: One of the most famous works using allegory is George Orwell’s
Animal Farm. The perceived story is about a group of farm animals who rise up and defeat
humans but the underlying story is about the Russian Revoluation.
