Entry
1: Rhetorical Devices
Example 1:
"One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in
will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to
yield."
(Tennyson, " Ulysses")
Climax:
The author Tennyson uses strong verbs to increase the emphasis of the spirit
and belief of great men: “To strive,
to seek, to find, and not to yield”
Message: Although Ulysses and his mariners are not as strong as they were in youth, they are “strong in will” and are sustained by their resolve to push onward relentlessly: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

Example
2:
“What a pity that youth must be wasted on
the young."
(George
Bernard Shaw)
Paradox: George Bernard Shaw shows the statement that seems to be an apparent self-contradictory because actually, only the young have youth.
Message: Basically the author means that the young waste their youth doing youthful things of little use, and those who are mature enough to do useful things have little youth remaining to do them.

Metaphor
1: The picture is to clarify two rhetorical devices,
metaphor and simile. The person in yellow presents a metaphor device. Watchers
see that a metaphor is frequently
invoked by the “to be” verb like “are” from the example “you’re
Weasel”. The other boy in blue presents a simile device. This method differs
from a metaphor. We use words comparison
such as “like, as,… in a simile. The sentence “Well, I’m like
one” is an example.
Metaphor
2: The statement “You’re Weasel” is a metaphor too. The boy in yellow uses Weasel to imply the other boy to be a mischievous
shifty person.
Message: Metaphor 1: We should be careful of 2 rhetorical devices, especially specific words used in each device, or else it is easy to take wrong understanding between them.
