Examples drawn from literature and popular culture. In addition to illustrative examples gleaned from canonical and contemporary literature, the glossary uses hundreds of references to the popular culture that students know and enjoy, such as television, movies, music, newspapers, and comic books, to make them understand how "literariness" is embedded in their daily lives.
