| 6598850615 | Parallelism | Sentences are similar in their construction, sound, meaning, or meter aka overall rhythm; the purpose is to give the ideas a smoother flow when read/spoken, thus adding to the persuasive effect because of plausible repetition. EXAMPLES: -Like father, like son. -The escaped prisoner was wanted dead or alive. -Easy come, easy go. -Whether in class, at work or at home, Shasta was always busy. -Flying is fast, comfortable, and safe. -My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors." - Barack Obama |  | 7 |
| 6598850616 | Anaphora | The deliberate repetition of the first part of a sentence to achieve an artistic effect. EXAMPLE: -With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right,...— Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address (Also has parallelism too if you peeped - just saying) -To raise a happy, healthy, and hopeful child, it takes a family; it takes teachers; it takes clergy; it takes business people; it takes community leaders; it takes those who protect our health and safety. It takes all of us. —Hillary Clinton, 1996 DNC |  | 8 |
| 6598850617 | Alliteration | Think tongue-twister; repetition of certain sounds within adjacent words. EXAMPLE: Siroky shanks soldiers, shadows, and sharks; it's how his soul was soled-- so cold. |  | 9 |
| 6598850618 | Consonnance | (1) Type of Alliteration; repeats consonant sounds. EXAMPLE: Siroky says saints are suckers and sinners save a soul's sorrows |  | 10 |
| 6598850619 | Assonance | (1) Type of Alliteration; repeats vowel sounds. Example: Siroky chops punks cause they're nothin' but chumps who are sunk |  | 11 |
| 6598850620 | Antithesis | Two opposite ideas are JUXTAPOSED (put side by side) to achieve a contrasting effect and elaborate a clearer truth (PARADOX). The Formula: Antithesis = Juxtaposition + Paradox *Parallelism may be used EXAMPLE: "It is better to have reigned in Hell, than to have served in Heaven" -- Satan says this to God in John Milton's Paradise Lost (a paradox is demonstrated via the juxtaposition of Reigned v. Served, and Hell v. Heaven) |  | 12 |
| 6598850621 | Oxymoron | Two short words/phrases that are juxtaposed together to create a dramatic effect or silliness EXAMPLES: Dry Ice Wise Fool (can be seen as a paradox-rare) Clearly Confused Pretty Ugly Civil War Definitely Maybe Alone Together |  | 13 |
| 6598850622 | Paradox | Two contradictory ideas that are juxtaposed together to present a larger truth; can be a form of an antithesis (but doesn't have to be) EXAMPLES: "I can resist anything but temptation."-Oscar Wilde "I'm a compulsive liar- am I lying when I say that?" "A rich man is no richer than a poor man." "Deep down, you're really shallow." "To be cruel is to be kind" |  | 14 |
| 6598850623 | Chiasmus | When you read the clause the first way, and then in the second clause, there is a reversal - also present a bigger truth EXAMPLES: -"You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget." -Mardy Grothe -"Bad men live that they may eat and drink, whereas good men eat and drink that they may live." - Socrates |  | 15 |
| 6598850624 | Innuendo | An insinuation; a typically suggestive remark/hint; it is very indirect and holds a negative connotation EXAMPLE: Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry--Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie. (Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare) SHAKESPEARE WAS ALWAYS USING INNUENDOS - SEXUAL DEVIANT FREAK! Ugh. Guess it gives new meaning to finishing your desert (see what I did there? Another innuendo- just saying) |  | 16 |
| 6598850625 | Euphemism | To make a harsh statement sound nicer; lessen the blow or effect; provide a more positive connotation on the bleak situation EXAMPLES: Someone has said this to me: -You're not poor, you're just economically disadvantaged. ^ -_- ^ the F. ^ - _ - ^ "Passed away" instead of died Purchase a "pre-owned" vehicle instead of a USED one. |  | 17 |
| 6598850626 | Fable | demonstrates a lesson to be learned; short; talking animals; children's lessons/ clichés; basic; employs personification typically; doesn't have to - but majority wise does. EXAMPLE: Without personification: The Bundle of Sticks - On his deathbed, an old man had servants bring in a bundle of sticks. He told his sons to break the bundle and none could. He then asked them to untie the bundle, each take a stick and break it. They did that easily. The moral is "Union gives strength." Typical with personification: The Lion and the Mouse - The mouse promised to return the favor if the lion did not eat him. Later, the mouse chewed the ropes from a snare and freed the lion. The moral is, "Little friends may become great friends." |  | 18 |
| 6598850627 | Parable | demonstrates a lesson to be learned; often Biblical/Spiritual lesson; often employs metaphors. Think proverbs - across any culture. 1) A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell along the path, and was trodden under foot, and the birds of the air devoured it. 2) And some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 3) And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew with it and choked it. 4) And some fell into good soil and grew, and yielded a hundredfold." . -- (Mark 4:3-9) |  | 19 |
| 6598850628 | Allegory | demonstrates a lesson to be learned; Longest; often promotes a political or moral lesson; is more like an extended metaphor and uses symbols Think Animal Farm (Political Allegory) or C.S. Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (Religious Allegory) |  | 20 |
| 6598850629 | Personification | giving human-like qualities/characteristics to an object or animal |  | 21 |
| 6598850630 | Anthropormorphism | think extended personification; when the main character literally is an inanimate object, animal, or spiritual/celestial being that exhibits personified traits through the entire piece; you view the world from that object's perspective. |  | 22 |
| 6598850631 | Asyndeton | The exemption of conjunctions (FANBOYS) (For, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) - to create a dramatic emphasis - so that each word is carefully considered in its correct grammatical structure to allude to meaning. EXAMPLE: Live, Laugh, Learn. I came, I saw, I conquered. |  | 23 |
| 6598850632 | Metonymy | think WHOLE PICTURE; deep-level substitution in that there is an overall goal/aim when referring to a work by its piece and its implications e.g. -The "pen" is mightier than the sword; --PEN represents the larger idea of the mind and writing -For the "flesh" wants what the "spirit" does not; --FLESH & SPIRIT refer to the bigger concepts of -Friends, Romans, Country Men - Lend me your "ears" -- EARS represents the fact that these men MUST LISTEN at all costs for it is determines the destiny of ROME -The Crown; The Pentagon; The Oval Office; = The king/queen; the security of the U.S.; the presidency |  | 24 |
| 6598850633 | Synechdoche | think PART OF THE PICTURE; base-level; common-phrasing - basic substitution to allude to meaning e.g. JOHN HANCOCK = signature Paper or Plastic = paying with cash or credit card? Nice set of wheels = wheels = car Hop up in this ride = ride = car |  | 25 |
| 6598850634 | Juxtaposition | a satirical device that deliberately contrasts two items by pitting them side-by-side against one another for artistic effect e.g. a mourner of the dead telling grave jokes at his/her loved one's funeral Falls under the category of Opposites attracting as well as SATIRE; here it is the concepts of grief and humor |  | 26 |
