Today in class we learned two new rhetorical devices. the first one we went over was metaphor and analogy. A metaphor is when a writer speaks to another thing as though it actually were another thing. An example of a metaphor is time is money. An analogy is when a writer makes use of already well know to explain something less well known. An example of an analogy life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get.
Today in class we learned something new. We learned about logical fallacies. The main on we reviewed was hasty generalizations. This is making an assumption on a whole group that isn’t necessarily true. They remind me of stereotypes. My favorite part was the examples we made as a class. Todays class was fun.
