Today in Mr.Rease class went over rhetorical devices. We went over 5 and already knew 2 of them. I knew what a hyperbole was and I knew what an understatement was. I learned three new rhetorical devices. The first new device I learned was litotes. Litotes Emphasizes its point by using a word opposite to the condition. Then I learned antithesis, antithesis makes use of a contrast in language to bring out a contrast in ideas. And the last one is hypophora, which is where the author asks a question then proceeds to answer it.
Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we presented our work. The first group was the first half of the chapter. They had an interesting illustration, and some good question. I think I answered all of group 1’s questions. Group 2 had an interesting illustration also. In my group, Kyla was the summarizer and I was the questioner. I think I had pretty good questions, I’m sure everyone was drained by the time my group went up.
