I’m Kyla Cunningham and I’m an 11th grader here at Cedar Grove. I’m currently employed at Popeyes. When not at school or work I’m most likely binge watching any show on Netflix or Disney+. Another of my hobbies is writing. I write anything, from goals to budgets. Writing helps me think clearly, and i also do it just to improve my penmanship. This year I expect the same things from myself as all previous years, good grades and a full understanding of all of the criteria.
Today in class we learned about rhetorical devices. The first one we discussed was hyperbole, which is an exaggeration. The second was understatement. An understatement is the force of a descriptive statement that is less than what one would normally expect. Third we went over litotes, which are an emphasis on a point by using a word opposite to the condition. Fourth we learned antithesis, this makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideals. Lastly we were introduced to hypophora which is asking a question then proceeding to answer it.
