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 was a gloomy day. On gloomy days I tend to drag throughout the day. Multiple times I was tempted to fall asleep. Once getting to your 4th period and seeing the poetry for us to analyze I immediately got discouraged as it isn’t my strong suit. Eventually I gave in to the temptations. I may have missed important information but i’m confident I got the bulk of the lesson. I’m hoping for a more upbeat lesson tomorrow.
