Briefly define the terms listed below in your own words, then use them in a short paragraph that clearly relates to what you’ve read this module. For example, each entry should look something like this:
Metaphor
A metaphor is a comparison that doesn’t use like or as. For example, in Maus, Spiegelman uses mice to represent the Jews. This visual metaphor means that for the Nazis, the Jews were vermin that needed to be exterminated.
Be sure to not copy and paste your definitions directly. This is called plagiarism and will result in an automatic zero. If you need to quote three words or more, use quotation marks around quoted material and insert a link to the definition online to properly cite your borrowed material. Quoting without citing is considered plagiarism.
All work in this course should be submitted in MLA format.
