characterization Characterization is the act of creating and describing characters in literature. Characterization includes both descriptions of a character's physical attributes as well as the character's personality.

Plot: linear and flashback A linear plot is a story told in chronological order from beginning to end, while a flashback plot interrupts that order to show a scene from the past. Flashbacks are a nonlinear narrative technique that can add depth to characters, create tension, or provide important information.
Rhyme and meter Rhyme The repetition of sounds at the end of lines of poetry. Rhyme schemes are often indicated with letters and can include alternating rhyme, couplet, enclosed rhyme, limerick, and Shakespearean sonnet.

Meter is made up of feet, which are units of one to three syllables with a specific stress pattern.
