Literary Devices Every Reader Should Know: Part 2

[@mokhan6706]

I am flabbergasted with your skills of teaching; You are doing an astonishing job and keep up the good work. 👍

[@MsPeerEditor]

Thank you :) Your encouragement means so much to me!

[@EliProductions]

omg this 2 part series has been amazing! Taught me more things than 2 whole units of my own teacher's materials!

[@leonleft9537]

Thanks for all these amazing videos... I really like the compressed style of the devices / definitions. Much better than the Ap course at my school.

[@adkinsacademy7629]

I wanted to say thank you for your video! You do a great job at describing, and also at explaining your ideas! I am blind, and I appreciate that you read what was on the screen and that you also told me the letters you were underlining. You did a great job!😊

[@MsPeerEditor]

Thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@ramfetouhasoad5069]

you're amazing, thank you very much. We hope you can put an a poem or a short text into analysis using literary devices, it would be so helpful!

[@MsPeerEditor]

Hi, thanks for your comment! I analyzed literary devices step by step in a poem in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWTbXpprprd2j9k. I also analyzed a short text (an excerpt from The Great Gatsby) here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3ubn5uir76rb9E.

avoiding a situation by ignoring its existence altogether or being oblivious

[@jilliangreen7688]

can you do one for rhetorical devices? Also, can you show how you would introduce literary or rhetorical devices into a rhetorical analysis essay without saying "the author uses/utilizes" or "the author's usage." I do this a lot and I know it's not very scholarly. Thanks!!

[@MsPeerEditor]

Hey Jillian! I made a video that explains types of rhetorical devices to analyze for the SAT essay, but the same devices apply to the AP Lang exam and other rhetorical analysis essays: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poHJooeLidhml7M. The list isn't exhaustive, but hopefully it can help you get started! Regarding your second question, I would suggest making a list of powerful verbs that can use in your essay so that you can instead write phrases such as, "the author illustrates/depicts/highlights" or "[insert device] evokes/instills/elicits [insert emotion]."

What is the effect of assonance and consonance?

[@MsPeerEditor]

Assonance and consonance can have many different effects, but overall, they add rhythm to sentences. Also, both devices can help create a particular tone. For example, sibilance (the repetition of the "s" consonant) can create a hissing effect or a soothing quality.

hey tysm for this vid , i had confusion between oxymoron and juxtoposition ?could you pls clear that

[@MsPeerEditor]

An oxymoron is when two contradictory terms are placed side by side (ex. "same difference," "living dead," "pretty ugly"). Juxtaposition is when two ideas, objects, people, etc. are contrasted. Juxtaposition doesn't require a specific structure or word placement. Basically, juxtaposition is an overall effect, whereas an oxymoron is a figure of speech.

@@MsPeerEditor oh okay tysm

[@dvic8081]

Is it still considered onamatopoeia when used as a verb? Eg. The leaves crunched under his feet. Thanks in advance

[@MsPeerEditor]

Yes, that would be an example of onomatopoeia because the word "crunch" mimics the sound the leaves make!

[@JyothiPN-hd6ux]

Really that was good

[@lanipowell7287]
