Toolbox #3
» A term from the Greek meaning “changed
  label” or “Substitute name”. A figure of speech
  in which the name of one object is substituted
  for that of another closely associated with it.

» Example: The White House asked the television
  networks for air time on Monday night.
» From the Greek for "pointedly foolish," an
  oxymoron is a figure of speech wherein the
  author groups apparently contradictory terms
  to suggest a Paradox

Examples:
» abundant poverty
» double solitaire
» Also referred to as parallel construction or parallel
  structure, this term comes from Greek roots
  meaning "beside one another."

» It refers to the grammatical or rhetorical framing
  of words, phrases, sentences, or paragraphs to
  give structural similarity.

» This can involve, but is not limited to, repetition of
  a grammatical element such as a preposition or
  verbal phrase.
» The contrast between what is stated explicitly and what
  is really meant, or the difference between what appears
  to be and what is actually true.

» Verbal irony: intended meaning of a statement differs
  from the meaning that the words appear to express.

» Situational irony: involves an incongruity between what
  is expected or intended and what actually occurs.

» Dramatic irony: the audience knows more about present
  or future circumstances than a character in the story
» meaning the prevailing atmosphere or
  emotional aura of a work.
» A statement that appears to be self-
  contradictory or opposed to common sense but
  upon closer inspection contains some degree of
  truth or validity.

» Example:
"Some day you will be old enough to start reading
fairy tales again.“ –C.S. Lewis
» A figure of speech in which natural sounds are
  imitated in the sounds of words.

Example:
» “Brrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinng! An alarm clock clanged
  in the dark and silent room."
» an emotionally violent, verbal enunciation or attack using
  strong, abusive language

Example:
» "A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base,
  proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound,
  filthy worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking,
  whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable, finical rogue;
  one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd in
  way of good service, and art nothing but the composition
  of a knave, beggar, coward, pander, and the son and heir
  to a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous
  whining if thou deni'st the least syllable of thy addition."
  (Kent addressing Oswald in William Shakespeare's King
  Lear, II.2)
» A sub-type of parallelism, when the exact
  repetition of words or phrases at the beginning
  of successive lines or sentences.
Example:
» "I don't like you sulking around, bothering our
  citizens, Lebowski. I don't like your jerk-off
  name. I don't like your jerk-off face. I don't like
  your jerk-off behavior, and I don't like you, jerk-
  off."
  (Policeman in The Big Lebowski, 1998)
» the use of several conjunctions in close succession,
  especially where some might be omitted

Example:
» "Let the whitefolks have their money and power and
  segregation and sarcasm and big houses and schools
  and lawns like carpets, and books, and mostly--
  mostly--let them have their whiteness."
  (Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,
  1969)
» Lack of conjunctions

Example:
» “Speed up the film, Montag, quick. Click, Pic,
  Look, Eye, Now, Flick, Here, There, Swift, Pace,
  Up, Down, In, Out, Why, How, Who, What,
  Where, Eh? Uh! Bang! Smack! Wallop, Bing,
  Bong, Boom!"
  (Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451, 1953)
» From the Greek meaning “to tear flesh,”
  sarcasm involves bitter, caustic language that is
  meant to hurt or ridicule someone or
  something.

Example:
» Don’t be humble. You’re not that great.
» A succession of clauses of approximately equal length
  and corresponding structure

Example:
» "Come then: let us to the task, to the battle, to the
  toil--each to our part, each to our station. Fill the
  armies, rule the air, pour out the munitions, strangle
  the U-boats, sweep the mines, plow the land, build the
  ships, guard the streets, succor the wounded, uplift
  the downcast, and honor the brave."
  (Winston Churchill, speech given in Manchester,
  England, on Jan. 29, 1940)
