Today in class we finished reading fences. It was really interesting to see how things played out. I do wish there was more though. I was surprised that Troy and Cory never reconciled their relationship. I loved the play and can’t wait to go home and watch it.
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.
