Today in class we reviewed our homework assignment. The home work was twenty questions guiding us through chapter four . In chapter four we get more insight on Cheryl’s life pre trail. We see that in her vulnerability she meets a man Joe and began doing drugs, more specifically heroin with him. We also see her initial response to the rigor of the trail. Her initial response was regret.
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.
