Today in class we read the prologue of Wild. While reading the prologue we answered 6 questions. The questions help us to relate to what the author was experiencing. We also worked on our projects once we finished. In this part of our project we had to find sources to go along with the prompt we made. We use ebsco database to do this. Each member of our group has to have 10 for a total of 30 sources.
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.
