What rhetorical devise are these? @CountryGurl15
Um idk what you mean sorry =)
The first one is antithesis. http://facstaff.bloomu.edu/jtomlins/rhetorical_devices.htm
ok thank you fo you know any more?
The 2nd one, I have a dream, could be an allusion to MLK's speech.
An allusion is a reference.
I'm not sure about the 3rd one. Do you have a list that your teacher gave you?
one sec
I think its out of these she didnt give me a list but this would help: http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-rhetorical-devices.html
Hyperbole - an exaggeration - I have done this a thousand times.?
or Litotes - makes an understatement by denying the opposite of a word that may have been used - The terms of the contract are not disagreeable to me.?
complex question
I think Litotes
Thank you for your help though
Well, reading on Litotes, it has to have negatives.
A hyperbole is when you REALLY exaggerate, It's basically an extreme kind of exaggeration.
thanks
