I’ve inappropriately dressed for occasions. In particular I’ve underdressed when going to a wake. I'm not one to wear dresses or dress up at all. I like to be comfortable so I usually just wear leggings, or sweatpants, and a graphic tee. This day I had my baggiest attire on, and felt completely odd. It wasn't necessarily my fault because I wasn’t informed where we were going. In addition, my family let me walk out the house looking as I was about to go to bed. In conclusion, I inappropriately dressed for a wake.
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.
