Today in class we read chapter six of wild. In groups of 3-4 we separated and completed an related task. My task was the summarizer. As the summarizer I give a summary, key details, and make a connection. In my portion of the chapter we see Cheryl run into different wild life. The sees a bear, rattlesnakes, and got swarmed by ants. She also met fellow hikers on the trail. At the end of the Chapter there’s a flashback. In this flashback we get a closer look into she and Pauls dynamic during their divorce. It wasn’t mess or petty at all’ it was a mutual.
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.
