Emotive language is really important when we talk about stories and poems. It helps readers connect with what they are reading. To really get into literature, we need to know some key ideas.

Types of Writing

1. Different Kinds of Writing:

   • Novels: We use the word "deep" to describe big ideas or how characters change.
   • Poetry: The word "wonderful" describes strong and beautiful images.
   • Drama: If we call a character "mediocre," we mean they're not very interesting.
   • Essays: When we say an argument is "shallow," we mean it's not very strong.

2. Helpful Writing Tools:

   • Metaphor: Emotive language helps us get metaphors better.
   • Allegory: The word "deep" is useful to talk about complicated meanings.

3. Words for Analyzing Literature:

   • Analysis: Compare "wonderful" with "mediocre" when discussing themes.
   • Themes: You might say a theme is "deep" or "shallow" to talk about its importance.

Examples of Emotive Language

• Saying "wonderful novel" shows that you really like the writing.
• Calling a character "mediocre" means you find them disappointing.
• Describing a theme as "deep" means it's been thought about a lot.
• If you say an idea is "shallow," you’re saying it lacks important details.

Knowing the Background

Understanding movements like realism and symbolism can help with your critiques. For example, using "deep" when talking about symbolism shows that this art style focuses on important ideas.

Using emotive language effectively helps us critique and analyze books and poems, especially in Russian literature. It helps readers make sense of complex ideas and thoughts.
