LIT TERMS REMIX 1-5

1.)  In Shrek 2, Pinocchio uses circumlocution to avoid telling Prince Charming that he knows where Shrek is since he can't lie or Prince Charming will know.  This occurs in the first 45 seconds of the video.


2.)  Classicism reminds me of the genre of classical music so here is a classical music mix whose melody resembles the definition of classicism.


3.)  Cliched themes or techniques can be found in most medias.  This video gives some great examples of some of the most common movie cliches.


4.)  I think of a book like a mountain.  The rising action is the hard climb to the top, filled with suspense of what is to come at the top of the mountain, the climax.  The hike back down the mountain is much simpler, with fewer problems and returning back to the original spot, a state of normal.  That's why I believe that a climax can be perfectly well symbolized with this picture alone.


5.)  Colloquialisms are pretty common in speech today.  Many colloquialisms can be found in music as this video demonstrates.
