Exploitation: using this information to develop curiosity among the audience. Resolution: the full significance of the character’s ignorance is revealed. IMAGERY: refers to language that stimulates the reader's senses. Usually, it is thought that imagery makes use of particular words that create visual representation of ideas in our minds.

SYMBOLISM: Is the use of symbols to signify ideas and qualities, by giving them symbolic meanings that are different from their literal sense. Symbolism can take different forms. Example: The dove is a symbol of peace. A red rose, or the color red, stands for love or romance. A broken mirror may symbolize separation. LOCAL COLOR: Presents local or regional symbols and images including speech, practices, beliefs, mannerisms and the like which are known to be peculiar to a certain topography.
