Learning Log 6I have learnt a lot of literary devices that are really helpful in studying literature. There are some literary devices that we have already learnt in Secondary 1 and from that experience, I know that it would be really difficult to memorise all of it especially since that there is more now. Also, there are some words that I have never seen before like oxymoron, hyperbole and paradox. But after the lesson, I finally understood the meaning of all these words. Like oxymoron, it means a single image or idea, made up of contradictory/incongruent images. Hyperbole, it means a deliberate exaggeration to emphasize a point or feelings. Lastly, paradox means a statement which seems self-contradictory, but turns out to make a good sense. It is quite confusing to differentiate some of the literary devices like simple sentence, complex sentence and incomplete sentence, but after more practice, I am sure that I would be able to differentiate it fully. Overall, with these literary devices, it helps a lot in studying and understanding. Although it might be difficult to memorise it all, I believe that we would be able to do it since we did the same thing during Secondary 1. |
