Today I made to school at about 10:15. I was late because I went to the orthodontist. At the orthodontist I got power chains, as a result I’ve been having pains throughout the day. In my third period class we did group assignments which are my favorite. The assignment was a little challenging but since Ms.Jackson is a great teacher I eventually understood. Fourth period for me is always a bit aggravating. There’s always something unnecessary being talked about. I pretty much understood the test though. I’m confident that I made an 100%.
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.
