I missed school today, and went to the doctor. I woke up and my ear was hurting. My mom sent me to the doctor, and I found out that I have an ear infection. My doctor prescribed me some medicine and suggested I don’t go to work tomorrow. I rested for sometime and did some work.
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.
