Today in class we presented our commercial. The class started with us practicing the performance for 25 minutes . We assigned roles and and filled out the paper. Our performance was definitely the best in the class. We worked the hardest and I'm pretty sure it was the longest.
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.
