I feel that I do need to improve in some ways. i had it at the beginning. The last 2 or 3 questions got me. I don’t know what it was, I think I just wasn’t understanding what the question was asking me to do. I truly thought the answers I was choosing was right but a few weren’t.
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.
