My dream is to be successful. I want to live a comfortable life, and never want to want for anything. I’ll achieve this by always doing my best. I’ll also keep track of my progress to motivate me. To keep my dream from being deferred i’ll be patient, and stay motivated. Success doesn’t come easy to most, so I must remain determined.
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.
