After two weeks of studying rhetorical devices, types of rhetoric, and methods for identifying rhetorical techniques, which rhetorical device do you find most effective or compelling, and why?

 Prompt: I find a Hyperbole the most effective. The way it over exaggerates things makes the point easy to get across. It also makes it more compelling to people. Out of all rhetorical devices this is the most effective in my opinion. 

Summary: We took a test on Rhetoric devices, then did our blog post.

Reflection: The test helped me understand rhetoric devices more.

Then, connect this idea to your own life by explaining a time when you wanted complete independence or control over a situation. Did things go as planned, or did you face unexpected challenges?

 Prompt: Chris's desire for his independence contributed to his death because when he got sick from the mold on the fruit, there was no one to help him because he was all alone.
