Literature Links

Bartleby.com offers classics of literature online, for free. They can do this because these books, stories, poems and other works are no longer covered by copyright laws (otherwise known as "in the public domain."). http://www.bartleby.com/

The English Server Fiction Collection also has online free literature, some of it public domain, some of it donated by living writers. http://eserver.org/fiction/

Project Gutenberg is the oldest Internet collection of free electronic books. http://promo.net/pg/

There is an Outline on Literary Elements at http://www.cas.usf.edu/lis/lis6585/class/litelem.html which explains things like what a "protagonist" or a "flashback" is. It's written for adults, but it's very clear.

You probably know what a metaphor is, but what is a tautology or a synecdoche? A Glossary of Rhetorical Terms with Examples is at http://www.uky.edu/ArtsSciences/Classics/rhetoric.html. If you want to frighten Dr. Turner, use paronomasia on her.
