Analogy

In classic literature, analogy infuses substance and feeling into a thought or image. Writers

mostly use this capability to convey importance and magnificence in the accounts they tell.

Reading a novel or a sonnet without finding something like one analogy is almost unimaginable.

The analogies in classic literature pose convincing cases in manner of speaking. Promoting and

showcasing dialect, political discussions, and instructional genuine works are a portion of the

fields where relationships present strong, influential contentions. For instance, here is the famous

excerpt from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, lines from Juliet:

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose

By any other word would smell as sweet.

So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,

Retain that dear perfection which he owes

Without that title.

It is an analogy since she explains upon it. She begins by announcing that names are immaterial.

To make this statement, she sets that a rose will constantly possess a scent like a rose regardless

of what one could call it. Wrapping the analogy up, Juliet mentioned that, very much like the

rose, Romeo will remain what his identity is — somebody she adores — regardless of what

name he has.

On the other hand,


Characterization

A classic literature more of than not, focuses on a plot driven story, likewise alluded to as a

narrative driven story, is one in which occasions override character improvement — focuses on

plot twists, perplexing and fantastical world-building, and a lot actions.

Plot driven stories sure are not without any trace of characters using any and all means, yet you

glean some significant knowledge more about what the characters do than their thought process.

Dream and secret books will often fit this viewpoint well, taking readers on an excursion that

depends vigorously on story components and plot focuses. Aristotle previously defined

characterization in the fifteenth century, discussing the significance of plot over character in

Poetics, “Tragedy is representation, not of men, but of action and life.” What he means here is

that “tragedy” is not focused on the considerations, and narratives, and dreams of the characters.

The story is fixated on what befalls them or the plot, so authors utilize characterization to

transfer data about those contemplations, chronicles, and dreams, without floating away from the

activity.

While in cyber literature, like post-modern literature, as analyzed in His Blonde Little Secret and

Montello High, it stresses characterization much more than classical literature. This is on the

grounds that characterization is a significant device in the plot-driven story. They can rapidly

associate the reader to the characters, without making them out of the move. At the point, when

one is in the middle of moving characters starting with one spot then onto the next, getting things

going for them, the readers cannot stop reading: an interest gainer. In that essence, nobody will

genuinely think often about a story on the off chance that they couldn't care less about its

characters, whether by affection or disdain or even entertainment or pity. For example, readers

are moved by the inner thoughts of Bella Winters in His Blonde Little Secret, revealing her
identity and perspectives on every event that has a direct effect on her. Readers are fascinated

when she talked about their personalities and feelings in her own mind, which often helps the

readers understand the character's actions. Montello High School

In this way, adjusting these two areas of development is extremely helpful. Plot and character

ought to be creating next to each other and depend upon one another, which mirrors the human

experience.

Climax

In classic literature, there is usually a single lead climax within a short story. The climax is

characterized as the central turning point of the story when the central character confronts the

opposing force (conflict), thus producing it the most powerful aspect of the plot. Authors develop

the order of the texts to build excitement by organizing them in order of increasing significance.

As a stylistic device, climax can be in songs, speeches to poetry, novels, and plays.

Usually in classic literature, the climax happens inside the center of the plot, nonetheless, as

writing advanced, writers started to invest more energy fostering the piece and rising actions.

While, presently in the cyber literature short stories, as analyzed in His Blonde Little Secret and

Montello High School, climax happens nearer to the furthest limit of the message, fairly joining

it with the falling actions and goal. While the five elements of climax still exist in cyber

literature, they are not quite so uniformly distributed as they used to be. These shorts stories are

usually part of a series of works with various climaxes. Climax in each series usually serve as the

rising action for the following sequels of the short story.


Conflict

In comparison, both classic literature and cyber literature use conflicts to exhibit human nature.

No conflict would mean no story at all. Most steadfast stories contain more than one conflicts,

and one conflict can form into one more during a person's journey in the short story. It is

essential to the author to figure out the character’s attributes, as well as what sort of literary

character the individual is, to appreciate more the conflict being presented.

Although as mentioned, in cyber literature, characterization is given more importance. The

conflicts, as part of the plot, in this type of literature focus more on the building up of the

characters’ traits, attitudes and ways of solving the conflict than plot itself.

Dialogue

In literature, dialogue is basically an adapted composed or exchange between at least two

individuals. Based on the comparison conducted, an author's utilization of dialogue traces all the

way back to classic literature, in particular Plato's Republic and other such works. Plato and

other scholars generally utilized the dialogic strategy for contention and logical purposes. In

cyber literature, the exchange to variety a person's character, make struggle, advance a plot,

exhibit the vernacular or the language or lingo spoken by the local individuals of a district. It is

evident in the short stories that were analyzed, His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High

School.

Flashback
The use of flashbacks in classic literature provides the reader a small piece of related information

in an imaginative way. In classic literature, for example, knowing the character was a fireman

who had experienced saving people’s live is important. Though, rather than just say the readers,

they present it through a flashback in giving context. Flashbacks do not just happen in memories;

the reader might visualize them through dream cycles or with the use of psychic powers.

In cyber literature, however, with the two short stories stylistically analyzed, the use of flashback

was not found. His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High School both did not use flashback as

a literary device to give context about the characters but rather the characterizations were

narrated directly in the stories respectively.

Foreshadowing

The use of Foreshadowing in both cyberliterature and classic literature set no difference with one

another. In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet Romeo says that he would rather die sooner than

live without Juliet’s love, written in verbatim: “Life were better ended by their hate, than death

prorogued, wanting of thy love.”

In cyber literature, occasionally, a future incident is referenced before in the story, similar to a

remark about a gathering between characters. The readers realize that issues will be examined

later. In His Blonde Little Secret, the main character’s constant daydreaming of becoming like

Beatrice, a beautiful and popular girl in the school was shown before Bella actually becoming

one.

Based on the analysis, both genre of literature gives a clue that something will occur. This is

finished by showing specific occasions, individuals or data that are a sign of something that will

happen later on in a story. Hinting can add pressure or assumption to the story.
Hyperbole

Hyperbole is the obvious and extra mile use of adjectives and descriptors that should not be

taken literally. Through the analyses conducted, no significant hyperbole was used in the cyber

literature short stories selected, His Blonde Little Secret and the Montello High School. No

comparison can be made between the classic literature and cyber literature due to lack of

specimen for analysis.

Imagery

Classic and cyber literature both utilized to bring out the feelings of sight, taste, smell, contact,

and sound. Based on the gathered data and the analysis conducted, the significance of imagery is

that it adds a component of creativity to composing and permits the crowd to interface all the

more completely with characters by assisting readers with feeling as though they are truly there.

The use of imagery for both classic and cyber literature triggers a profound response in the

reader. Imagery doesn't just portray what something resembles or what a person feels. It likewise

recommends and makes the setting for figuring out the remainder of the story. For instance,

portraying a dull and turbulent evening sets the setting of argument for any activity that the

author portrays in a story. A basic discussion between two guardians about their kids on a

blustery day appears to hint inconvenience ahead. On the off chance that a similar discussion

occurred on a bright day with newly cut grass, the reader leaves away with an entirely

unexpected comprehension.

Irony
Classic literature usually uses situational Irony. For instance, in the Great Expectations written

by Charles Dickens, the crowd and Pip don't have the foggiest idea who the promoter is, and the

story causes it to appear to be that Miss Havisham is the sponsor. At the point when the genuine

supporter, Magwich, is uncovered, it conflicts with the convictions of the crowd and fundamental

person in an exemplary illustration of situational incongruity.

On the other hand, as analyzed, the use of verbal irony is common in cyber literature short

stories. This happens when what a speaker says is the precise opposite of what the speaker

means, such as when Bella in His Blonde Little Secret always says that she is okay, but in

reality, she is not.

Metaphor

In the comparison between classic literature and cyber literature, the use of metaphor seemingly

assists with making sense of ideas and thoughts by brilliantly connecting the obscure to the

known; the theoretical to the substantial; the boundless to the understandable. It can likewise be a

logical device that explicitly requests to our sensibilities as readers. No significant difference can

be identified with the use of metaphor to both classical and cyber literature as examined in the

short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High: School of Gangsters.

Mood

The choice of words of the writer is essential to laying out the mind-set, as each word even

words with comparable implications has its own implications. Choosing the right words make

the mood of the story. A mood is an inclination that can allude to the emotional state of a
character or the climate of a story. The mood is usually omnipresent in stories. In writing, state

of mind is imparted quietly using symbolism, conflict, and so on, and expressly through all-

knowing narration or dialogue. Mood relates to how the reader feels about the short story.

Almost no significant difference can be identified with the use of mood to both classic and cyber

literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High School,

except that, in cyber literature short stories, the mood is more concentrated with the

characterization of the characters. It is built to showcase the how the characters solve the

conflict, characters attitude towards one another, the setting is set to show how every character

lives through place and time.

Paradox

Paradox is an explanation that shows up at first to be disconnected, yet upon reflection then

seems to make sense afterwards. It is normally used to connect with the readers to find a basic

rationale in an apparently self-disconnected proclamation or expression.

A very good example of this in classic literature is the line from Hamlet by William

Shakespeare. Hamlet states he should be "cruel" to be "kind," which is incomprehensible on a

superficial level. Notwithstanding, his clear horrible demonstration of killing Claudius should

have been visible as a consideration to Hamlet's mom, who has unconsciously turned into the

spouse and admirer of her most memorable husband's killer.

In cyber literature, based on the analyses conducted to both short stories, a paradoxical

circumstance or thought in a scholarly work makes pressure and likely tension for the readers.

For instance, in the story of His Blonde Little Secret, the use of paradox is very evident with the
character of Bella tried to promote herself in a way she is not that made. This sort of paradox

creates interest for the readers as far as expecting the goal of the contention. While it is true that

the presence of paradoxical statements was not found in Montello High.

Both classic literature and cyber literature use paradox to permits readers to grasp ideas in an

alternate and, surprisingly, contemporary way.

Parody

Through the analyses conducted, no significant parody was used in the cyber literature short

stories selected, His Blonde Little Secret and the Montello High School. No comparison can be

made between the classic literature and cyber literature due to lack of specimen for analysis.

Plot

Point of View

Third person omniscient was the favored perspective for most classic writing, legends, and

fantasies — kinds that frequently detail how social orders became coordinated and the job

regular peculiarities played in those social orders' endurance. Talking from a supernatural

distance lends position to these stories and permits the storyteller to share numerous parts of the

characters' set of experiences. Authors of secret books or activity thrill rides additionally incline

toward this perspective on the grounds that the story center is around emotional activity and

connections.

While, in the analyses conducted in the cyber literature short stories, His Blonde Little Secret

and Montello High: School of Gangster, the use of Limited First-Person Point of view was
obvious. In which, first person narrators are described from a solitary person's viewpoint at a

time. They can't be wherever immediately and subsequently can't get all sides of the story. They

are recounting to their story, not really the story. Person Point of View is biased. In first person

novels or short stories, the reader quite often feels for a first individual storyteller, regardless of

whether the storyteller is a screw-up with significant imperfections. Montello High: School of

Gangster, on the other hand, use omnipresent perspective as the general point of view of the

story.

Collectively, both cyber literature short stories use a viewpoint character where simply

characters’ thoughts are accessible to the readers. The characters turn out to be the focus of the

standpoint during the section of story or the story as a whole.

Satire

Satire is a type of writing that ridicules or criticizes the faults of individuals or groups. The

satirist may use a tolerant, sympathetic tone or an angry, bitter tone.

Although a satire may be humorous, its purpose is not simply to make readers laugh but to

correct, through laughter, the flaws, and shortcomings it points out. Through the analyses

conducted, no significant satire was used in the cyber literature short stories selected, His Blonde

Little Secret and the Montello High School. No comparison can be made between the classic

literature and cyber literature due to lack of specimen for analysis.

Simile
Symbolism

In the comparison between classic literature and cyber literature, the use of symbolism both

addresses different ideas or thoughts to convey a more profound significance. Symbolism can

utilize an item, individual, circumstance, occasion, or activity with a more profound significance

in the general setting of scholarly work that goes outside surface ability to grasp. When utilized

appropriately, symbolism can improve a piece of composing and overcome any issues between

the reader and writer.

No significant difference can be identified with the use of symbols to both classical and cyber

literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High School.

Theme

Themes assist readers characterize and examine the fundamental message of a literary work.

Writers consider their works in these terms; it assists them with zeroing in on what they believe

that readers should detract from their text.

Almost no significant difference can be identified with the use of theme to both classic and

cyber literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High

School, except that, in cyber literature short stories, the theme is more concentrated with the life

of the teens, how they accept and solve the problems that they face that build their characters.

Tone
In classic literature more often than not, the tone of the literary pieces attacks the position of the

other persons, group of people using words, showing aggression and anger; the tone is usually

aggressive.

In the stylistics analyses conducted, there were no sign of anger, and the expression of the writers

of His Blonde Little Secrets and Montello High: School of Gangsters is calm, peaceful, and

somewhat pacifist; tone is more of assertive in nature.

Understatement

The use of understatement is to minimize the significance of something, in some cases

determined to bring out modesty, however, frequently to deliver an unexpected result. This really

gets consideration regarding the object in the question and is typically planned to work up

humor. No significant difference can be identified with the use of understatement to both classic

and cyber literature as examined in the short stories His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High

School.

The Emergence of Literary Features from Cyber Literature

Characterization over Plot (Character driven)

A character-driven story is centered around concentrating on the characters that make up the

story. Character-driven stories can manage inward change or the connections between the

characters.

Many authors of books incline toward building a world purely of actions to draw the whole plot

of the story. These authors appreciate decisively dispersing breadcrumbs for the readers to

follow. In the emergence of cyber literature, authors of today’s generation started to love digging

into the mind. They make rich and tormenting character that stay with the readers longer

subsequent to shutting the book.


The emergence of characterization in His Blonde Little Secrets and Montello High: School of

Gangsters ensured that the characters cooperated and solved their current circumstance. This

kind of climate shaped the characters in the mentioned short stories. Also, perfection sometimes

led to boring scenarios in a story, placing the main characters in great stature in every instance

makes the story uninteresting for the readers.

The way the writers described the characters His Blonde Little Secrets and Montello High:

School of Gangsters already made the story respectively; they were able to put the

characterizations of every character in high regard, showcased the strengths and weaknesses in

every conflict that these characters needed to solve. Once in a while, the authors put challenge

onto the characters with the worst situation imaginable. Furthermore, the way these authors

conveyed the short stories with external threats, in addition to the internal conflicts.

Conflict as Character Development

At the point when a character goes facing a contradicting force, their activities and feelings

uncover their personality characteristics. This makes convincing characters that are multi-faceted

and more appealing. In cyber literature, characterization is given more importance. Thus, the

conflicts, as part of the plot, in this type of literature focus more on the building up of the

characters’ traits, attitudes and ways of solving the conflict than plot itself.

The emergence of conflict as character development in cyber literature boost the chances of

creating interesting stories by producing the desire of the author an obsession. Having conflict as

character development for the short story creates more interest and rising actions; for instance, if

the author gives characters what they want, the story will lack tension. It is just conflict pushes a
good story further. The use of conflict in His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High: School of

Gangsters as character development made characters grew. In His Blonde Little secret, the

portrayal of the character of Bella as the protagonist and a simple lady automatically produced a

tension and conflict to the characterization of Beatrice as the antagonist who is prettier and

famous. This clearly shows the prevailing scenes of Bullies and bullied. On the other hand,

through the external arguments shown by the characters in Montello High: School of Gangsters,

the conflict was raised, and the characterizations of the characters were presented.

Themes Revolves Around the School Setting

The theme is more concentrated with the life of the teens in school setting, how they accept and

solve the problems that they face that build their characters. As proven with the analyzed

specimens, the cyber literature stories were both set in school, His Blonde Little Secret and

Montello High: School of Gangsters. The emergence of themes set in school is popular among

other cyber literature short stories because it brings us the readers back to their youths. Mostly,

themes that are set in school focus the struggles of students in love, romance, sex, education,

family problems, bullying, and other social issues that may relate to teenage life. Simple and

typical as they may be, but the school setting gives more details and complications to the short

story when set in the academic arena, thus, more excitement and interest.

Teenage Fiction

The emergence of teen fiction allows the birth of cyber literature short stories and novels.

Teenagers, being the target readers represent a peculiar crowd. These teenagers are in the middle

of being young and adulthood yet essentially every grown-up bunch with any expectation or
vision representing things to come needs them in their pocket. As an outcome, a constant fight is

being battled about their heads concerning what kind of values they ought to be taught with, and

obviously, what kind of fictions they ought to hear, see and read. However, living in a multi-

social, multi-confidence, and multi-esteem society with the presence of the internet the realities

of life are hard to put away in their eyes. They understand what adults get up, and when they

arrive at their adolescent years, they will more than likely have had, or before long will get, the

opportunity to attempt everything out for themselves. The best expectation is to assist them with

becoming armada of brain, understanding, lenient or more all, ready to pursue.

Through the use of teenage fiction, the realities of life in teenagers are unfolded and issues are

discussed through short stories. These narratives that can be relatable and be inspirations to to the

teenagers. Usually, the target age is determined not just by the age of the main character, yet in

addition the contention and issue that adolescent is managing. For instance, the age of the main

character might be fourteen, however their issue is bullying related. This would make the story

appeal to fourteen-year-olds, yet also to established adolescents that are managing, or have been

presented to a similar issue.

Series (sequel)

It is noticeable that His Blonde Little Secret and Montello High: School of Gangster have vague

and unclear ending. That was intentional for the part of the writer to preempt a next book,

continuing the story in series of more stories. The emergence of writing in series in cyber

literature happens because more than possibly simpler to develop that of the archive, however it

eliminates one more boundary to making that read-through occur. The reader doesn't have to face
a challenge on a new story when they definitely realize they'll appreciate more in the series

they're as of now.

Moreover, it is easier for the contemporary authors to be known with their specialty in writing.

When one book hit, then it is already a jackpot. One can simply continue the story and earn.

Also, when a writer begins composing various books in his/her specialty, writing series sets up a

good foundation. Thus, at this point not these writers may not be viewed as a novice however as

somebody who is proficient.

Writers of this age, benefits from writing in series when readers have interest in one book, they

be will very much want to purchase the whole series in mass at one time. This prompt expanded

book deals.

Also, these writers are fond of writing in series because it gives natural delight to the readers.

Reading the second or third book in a series resembles causing the readers to repeat a part in the

first book. Readers need not sort out a novel, new thing as they as of now know about the

characters, the setting, or the plot. Returning to a book in series makes reading seriously

energizing. Readers additionally get to draw in themselves more with the characters.

This will lead to the next emerging literary feature in cyber literature.

Climax as Rising Action of the Sequel

It is evident in the stories that were analyzed that both His Blonde Little Secret and Montello

High: School of Gangster had cliffhanger ending; it is a plot device wherein a part of a story

closes unsettled, typically in an emotional or stunning way, to constrain crowds to turn the page

or return to the story in the following portion. The story ended without sequences of events that

will lead to the resolution of the conflicts, but instead the story ended in their peak.
The authors of both narratives intended this to happen, the climax of the first book respectively

will be used as the starting point for the next book to come out. This is very effective to gain

interest and excitement for the following book. The emergence of climax as the rising action of

the following sequel was well utilized and noticeable for both short stories that were analyzed.

The Conceptual Model of the Study

Figure 2 represents the conceptual model of the study. The Literary Features Diagram consists of

the two universes namely the Classic Literature and Cyber Literature. The researcher compared

the literary feature of the classic literature and cyber literature to discover the Emerging Literary

Features of Cyber Literature Stories Through Stylistics Analysis. The model is a Venn Diagram

that presents the similarities and differences of the two universes.

In Figure 2, the first universe shows the dominant literary features of short stories under classic

literature. These dominant literary features of classic literature are the following: Plot-driven, the

climax happened normally in the center, uses third person omniscient as point of view,

aggressive tone, uses flashbacks, situational irony and commonly dialogues are used for logical

and contention purposes only.

The second universe presents the emerging literary features of cyber literature. These emerging

literary features of cyber literature are the following: Character-driven, assertive tone, the climax

happens near the falling action, uses verbal irony, the mood focuses on characterization, dialogue

is used to show characterization and struggles, uses limited first-person point of view and the

plot is usually ends as a cliff hanger.

These two universes have interlapping characteristics; both classic literature and cyber literature

have unified in terms of the use of theme, symbolisms, conflicts, foreshadowing, imagery,
metaphor, paradox, and understatement. As observed, the aforementioned literary features set no

significant difference between the two universes. On the other hand, the use of hyperbole, parody

and satire is not common with both classic and cyber literature based on the study conducted.
