A message from UNESCO

2,680 languages globally are in danger of disappearing. If not preserved and supported, these languages will become extinct and we will also lose distinctive worldviews, histories, cultures, traditions and memories of the people they carry with them

On International Literacy Day, coming up on 8 September, UNESCO will set spotlight on literacy and multilingualism. Help us spread the word!

(آرایه ادبی)?What is a Literary Device

literary devices are techniques that writers use to create a special and pointed effect in their writing, to convey information, or to help readers understand their writing on a deeper level.

Often, literary devices are used in writing for emphasis or clarity. Authors will also use literary devices to get readers to connect more strongly with either a story as a whole or specific characters or themes.

So why is it important to know different literary devices and terms? Aside from helping you get good grades on your literary analysis homework, there are several benefits to knowing the techniques authors commonly use.

Being able to identify when different literary techniques are being used helps you understand the motivation behind the author's choices. For example, being able to identify symbols in a story can help you figure out why the author might have chosen to insert these focal points and what these might suggest in regard to her attitude toward certain characters, plot points, and events.

in addition, being able to identify literary devices can make a written work's overall meaning or purpose clearer to you. For instance, let's say you're planning to read (or re-read) The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. By knowing that this particular book is a religious allegory with references to Christ (represented by the character Aslan) and Judas (represented by Edmund), it will be clearer to you why Lewis uses certain language to describe certain characters and why certain events happen the way they do.

finally, literary techniques are important to know because they make texts more interesting and more fun to read. If you were to read a novel without knowing any literary devices, chances are you wouldn't be able to detect many of the layers of meaning interwoven into the story via different techniques

Many people believe William Shakespeare is the best British writer of all time. His many works are about life, love, death, revenge, grief, jealousy, murder, magic and mystery. He wrote the blockbuster plays of his day - some of his most famous are Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet. It has been almost 400 years since he died, but people still celebrate his work all around the world.

What do we know about Shakespeare?

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England in 1564. Nobody is exactly sure which day he was born, but we do know he was baptised on 26 April that year. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway and the couple went on to have three children. Shakespeare lived in London for 25 years and wrote most of his plays here. He died at his home in Stratford-upon-Avon on 23 April 1616, aged 52. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays (though some experts think it may have been more). He wrote three different types of plays:

Histories - about the lives of kings and famous figures from history

Comedies - which end with a marriage

Tragedies - which end with the death of the main character

Shakespeare also wrote plenty of poetry and in 1609 published a book of 154 sonnets. We know his work was popular at the time because he earned enough money to live in a smart area of London, where he wrote some of his most famous plays. He had an incredible influence on the English language and invented hundreds of words we still use today.

Here are some of the more than 1,700 words first used in Shakespeare's writing:

amazement

bedroom

champion

dawn

eyeball

fashionable

gossip

moonbeam

olympian

puking

swagger
