Does anyone know where I can find a website with a variety of literary elements?

For instance I need words like motivation and polysyndeton.

Here is a .pdf file with a list of AP literary terms, including the ones you’ve listed. It includes examples and clear definitions.
Here is another list that will link you to similar terms, in HTML format.

@rabbitheart Thanks for the lists. But a lot of the words I need examples for are not in there or they don’t have examples. Do you know of any other sites or lists?

If you can list some of the other words, I will try to help!

@rabbitheart Ok thanks. Here it goes: archetype, argument, asyndeton,aphorism, homily,setting,solecism,simple sentence, declarative sentence, exclamatory sentence, balanced sentence(basically a lot of “sentence” elements), juxtaposition, parody, ......etc. Need I go on?

Try this one then, it’s a .pdf file again.
That should have most of the definitions.
As for examples, they should pop up if you google each term separately.

Oh my gosh, thats the exact list I have. Thats certainly a coincidence. But I am just looking for the definitions so I guess I’ll just google them. Thanks anyways.
