• Grammar & Sentence Architecture
• Diction, Semantics, Idiom & Lexical Precision
• Cohesion, Paragraphs & Information Flow

Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• image
• concrete detail
• metaphor
• simile
• metonymy
• synecdoche
• personification
• symbol
• analogy
• conceit
• literal/figurative interaction

Translate an abstraction into concrete images and then recover the abstraction without distortion.¶

Reconstruct

Generate multiple metaphors/analogies for one relation and identify where each mapping fails.¶

Transfer

Distinguish symbol, metaphor, simile, metonymy, synecdoche, and literal description in actual passages.¶

Break / Bound

Use figurative language to discover or compress thought rather than merely ornament prose.¶

Check / Defend

Intended demonstration¶

Concrete rendering + figure generation + failed-analogy diagnosis

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.
