I have to make index cards for rhetorical devices by defining, writing an example, and drawing a picture based on the example.
Here's an example of the format:
Alliteration- repetition of beginning constant sounds.
Ex: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
Picture: http://en.tp.edu.tw/funny/tongue/pic/3.jpg
I still need the ones for:
Imagery- use of the five senses to create an image or picture with sounds.
Syntax- the authors' intentional placement or sentence elements(words, phrases, clauses).
Pun- a play on words.
Irony- When it becomes clear to the reader/audience that the Rhett means something different than the words said. The opposite what is expected happens.
Hyperbole- deliberate exaggeration.
Litotes- opposite of hyperbole diliberate understandment that intensifies an idea.
Consonance- repetition of constant sounds at the end of words.
Assonance- repetition of vowels.
Euphemism- a substitute expression for something harsh or offensive.
Allusion- reference to literature, history, classics, mythology, and the bible.
I would greatly appreciate it. I know it sounds like I'm asking for people to do my homework but, I'm already drowned in homework as it is. =/ Thanks. =D
