Why are literary devices important to readers?

10 comentarios:

  1. The importance of all those devices remains in giving the complete structure, formation and relation of every single aspect inside the text( novel , comic :D and so on). So it is important because we can use it as tools in order to undertand the author intentions and the complete meaning of a text.

  5. I´m agrre with ali, using literary devices will help to make the story more clear for us (readers) and also to make it more interesting. However those devices in some cases are not well used and they usually confuses us. That´s why Coherence is the most important device.

  9. My favorite literary genres are horror and suspense novels, I confess that I grew up watching horror movies, that´s why I like the novels of this genre, I congratulate you for choosing the pet cemetery and the portrait of Dorian Gray. I've already seen the movies but read the novels is much more frightening and exciting for me!.
