I forgot my old best friend from elementary school. My old best friend's name is Ashary. We were best friends in pre-k and kindergarten. I can vividly remember that her family was Christian, and strict. I also remember that we went to Monkey Joes once and had a really good time. I haven't talked to her since I was in 3rd grade. If I saw her today I wouldn’t know who she was. In conclusion, I forgot my old best friend from elementary school.
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.
