Foreshadowing
(The usage of hints or clues to suggest what will happen later in literature.)
Irony
(A discrepancy between the expected result and actual results.)
Example:
Foreshadowing: The Mayas had begun creating a calender that was based upon a system which had been in common use throughout the region, dating back to at least the 6th century BC.
Irony: In the beginning of the XI century, people started believing about an apocalypse that will probably occur in the nearby future because the Mayas were extincted when they were about to continue the following year after '2012' in their calender.

Allegory
(A form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. An allegory is a story with two meanings, a literal meaning and a symbolic meaning.)
Example:
Lady Kfgt, during lunch time, brought 3 burgers, 5 box of french fries, 3 cup of coke. She only ate 2 burgers and 4 box of french fries until she got full. As she belched, her friend, Miss Hjket, came and told her that she didn't eat because she didn't have enough money. Thus, Lady Kfgt gave Miss Hjket her 3 cup of coke and her last burger and box of french fries. Miss Hjket thanked her and began eating with pleasure and passion.
Allegory: If you're rich, you can buy anything you want and give away anything you don't want.

Characterization
(The method used by a writer to develop a character.)
Example for each method:
1. Showing the character's appearance: Seven is a unknown girl with 40 inch long white hair and bright-purple iris.
2. Displaying the character's actions: She uses to hunt her prey with shurikens. When she caught one, she sucks out its blood first, eats the brain second and hides the dead body on a random residents' roof.
3. Revealing the character's thoughts: She thinks she will win.
4. Letting the character speak: "I will win," she said.
5. Getting the reactions of others: Her classmates think she's a vampire-zombie-ninja.
