Today I sat in Mr.Spence's class the whole day. I did partially complete my annotated bibliography in this time. But most of the day I was busy catching up on other pass due assignments. I'm happy that today is the last day of this school week. I look forward to spending the whole day tomorrow asleep.
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.
