The rhetorical devices that we went over in today's lesson were hyperbole understatement, and litotes.

Summary: In today's lesson, we reviewed over three specific rhetorical devices and did short practice assignments on each one.

Reflection: Reflecting on today’s lesson, I’ve learned how to effectively use Hyperbole Understatement, and Litotes in literature. I’m interested to incorporate these rhetorical devices into my everyday speech.

And while that may seem like a big exaggeration, I have spent years growing closer, and simultaneously moving away from God. But the determination I feel in becoming a faithful steward to him is leading me to become a better person for myself, the people I love, and most importantly, the Lord. And when I see and hear scripture, it fills me with understanding and makes me whole. Summary:   Today in class, we read and discussed a Navajo Creation Myth.
