Today me in class we presented the work we did yesterday. We listened to the others group present and engaged. Group one presented the first half of chapter six. Group two presented the second half of chapter six. I had the second half of chapter two and was the summarizer. I think i did a pretty good job with summarizing and connecting.
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.
