Rhetoric

After my somewhat refreshing three day weekend, I am back to the old grind and ready to suffer learn more in this brand new quarter! Today, I was able to get deeper into rhetoric and learn about two different devices - hyperbole and understatement, the new devices available for order today. Well, they are not new, and are used every day! I had a general understanding of the two, but was pleased to delve deeper and also understand why writer's use them, as well as experienced ways to use them correctly. It was harder than I thought it would be to create over-exaggerated and overly simplified sentences with the topics given to me, so that is evidence that I could stand to practice more. I really want to understand understatement more, as I love some good satire in my life.
