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 finished up our benchmark assessment. We only had to complete our extended response question. We had to write 2-3 paragraphs. I’m confident that I did ok on my test. This was the most challenging part of the test. Only because I don’t know how to make an essay that short.
