Today in class we wrote a body paragraph. to write a body paragraph you need a claim. The claim you use will come from your thesis. After you state your claim you you will need evidence. In this case the evidence will come from the sources provided. Next, you must explain your evidence, and connect it to your claim. Then , state one more piece of evidence and explain it. Lastly, you must conclude the body paragraph. I have a problem with explaining my evidence, and not repeating the same things.
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.
