Today in class I presented my groups poem. As the summarizer I spoke first. Although my part was short I felt it met the requirements. My favorite part of the presentation was the illustration. I just love a visual representation of things. The second group did good as well. Overall I enjoyed the class today.
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.
