What are literary devices and structural devices
Answers
Answer:
Structure, or form, is the arrangement of story elements according to purpose, style and genre. Structure doesn't just happen on it's own. Rather, it's carefully considered by the author to make sure their intended meaning is conveyed.
In order for a story to be truly immersive, the structure must play the part of a skeleton. In other words, the structure supports the story to ensure the most powerful delivery of elements, yet in a manner unseen and not easily identified by the reader.
Fiction is supposed ... to be entertaining and narrative, so structures have to be buried a little bit. If they become foregrounded too much, it stops being fiction and starts being poetry - something more concrete and out of time." — Eleanor Catton
Structure may be confused with plot. While the plot is the events in the story itself, heavily affected by
character, setting and theme, the structure is how these elements are presented to the reader.
Answer:
Literary devices are the techniques a writer uses to produce a special effect in their writing.
e.g.=simile
as cold as ice
whereas structural devices have a story arc-a beginning, a middle and an end, usually with a crisis point that is resolved in the end flash-back.
