So, from the title of this post, you may mistakenly think I am referring to myself. Have no fear, we would not wish for such confusion to transpire. We would simply remind you that today we showed you the Queen (of England's) speech following the death of Princess Diana. We also shared Earl Spencer's eulogy for his sister, which almost made us cry - could you tell? (You do know about the Royal "we" don't you? If not the entire hilarity of this post is wasted!)
We also reviewed some specific types of Tropes and Schemes - that is the use of artful diction and syntax. You can look at chiasmus, antithesis, and antimetabole for more great examples.
Homework: Find a great print ad for analysis and transport it to class for Monday. Please do the assignment on page 48 and be prepared to hand it in on Monday.
Have a most excellent weekend!
Must tend to the three princesses. Bye!
