This is a list of literary terms for introductory literature courses. It is helpful because it is simple and straight forward, and doesn't get bogged down with too much detail.

Katelyn Thomas on 27 Sep 11

It is a melancholy object to those, who walk through this great town, or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads and cabbin-doors crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags, and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers instead ofbeing able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in stroling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants who, as they grow up, either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country, to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

Awake, my St. John!
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  He is directing his attention to his friend, St. John (prounounced "Sin-jin"). Because he refers to him by his given name and not by his title, you can tell that the author is friends with St. John.

A mighty maze!
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  The maze is an ancient symbol for the fate of man. The one who is in the maze cannot see how to get out. See [http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/gem-projects/maa/Interview_with_the_Minotaur/rite.htm]

A wild, where weeds and flow'rs promiscuous shoot;               8Or garden, tempting with forbidden fruit.

  He gives his first choice here, building upon the maze idea . . . do you take one path or the other? One explanation or the other? Is life a place of weeds or a garden? Do we have "promiscuous flow'rs" or "forbidden fruit"?

let us beat this ample field
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  "Beat" the field can refer to both beating a field to scare game out of it, and beating wheat or barley to remove the seads for harvesting. He is asking his friend to look deeply, to scare the hidden things out of the "field of man."

blindly creep, or sightless soar
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  Interesting, in this choice we are either blindly creeping or blindly soaring. In other words--whether we are moving quickly or slowly, whether we are in the dirt or in the sky, we are all blind to what is here. This is a further development to the idea of the maze.

Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies,             14And catch the manners living as they rise;
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  A development of the idea of the harvest or the hunt and beating the unseen out of the scene. Shoot "folly" (stupidity) when it flies up like a frightened game-bird, or catching manners. He is "personifying" these characteristics.

This is an example of how to annotate a literary piece. Everyone will will have something different to say. There is no right or wrong. These are like discussions with yourself.

Evliya Celebi was an enlightened man and a story-teller. Many of our early impressions of the Ottoman Empire are taken from his writings.
