Are you guys (Americans) taught about the definiton of concepts such as: character development, plothole, plot device, etc. in school? I ask because most english-speaking people I have talked to are aware of them while nobody in my country (even people who read) seem to know their meaning. Sorry for my bad English.
In highschool
Elementary school
German.
Come to think of it, I never learned about plot holes in school. Did you really learn about that? I imagine it to be like riffing with a teacher.

As early as we started analyzing books, late elementary/middle school
Where you from?

Spain. We study our history of literature, the literary genres and so on but we never get into literary devices for some reason.

Yes.
Literary devices are a kike thing imo.
(Euro here) Character development and plotholes are anglo memes, but literally everyone knows about literary devices. Metaphor, hyperbole, onomatopoeia... Right?
