Today I took the PSAT so I didn't have to do the Benchmark assessment. The PSAT was challenging the Reading and writing portions were much easier than the math. Once getting in the class I read the the book and caught up on past assignments. I'm really happy that we didn't have to do this benchmark because it would've gotten zero effort. I really enjoyed class today it gave me free time to recover from the PSAT.
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.
