Literary Elements

I think that knowing and understanding the literary elements plays a significant role in understanding the concept of a story. In order to fully understand the concept that the author is trying to convey to the reader it is crucial that they appreciate the perspective that is being portrayed. The literary functions are a universal form that are used by the author in order to convey a particular meaning using specific techniques in order to properly express their feelings, emotions, and opinions in a manner that is visually appealing and mentally interesting. Authors use these specific elements in order to give meaning to their words and create a message that readers can understand and appreciate. These elements also provide a framework when comparing literature amongst different authors in addition to different styles of writing and literature. These techniques help to define the story when they begin to coexist with one another, and if the reader does not understand the structure of the story itself then they will not be able to experience the literary meanings on a deeper level of understanding. The use of these elements are also used to describe the emotion that is expressed towards a specific area or concept, and without full appreciation of each puzzle piece than the whole picture may not be put into perspective accurately.
