Good morning!

Hi) I read Oscar Wild’s “The picture of Dorian Gray” and choose the 1st chapter for analysis. SYNTACTICAL SDs He is a brainless, beautiful thing, who should be always here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in summer when we want something to chill out our intelligence – antithesis He is a brainless, beautiful thing, who should be always here in winter when we have no flowers to look at, and always here in summer when we want something to chill out our intelligence – ordinary repetition You never say a moral thing, and you never do a wrong thing – parallel construction He defines for me the lines of a fresh school, a school that is to have in itself all the passion of the romantic spirit – anadiplosis There is too much of myself in the thing, Harry, -- too much…

Hello

Hello! Good day to post) I have free time at last. My first time post on the computer, because i'm tired of nobody-seeing-my-comments and information. Our week started from the theme of metonymy. Metonymy has subtypes, there are synecdoche, antonomasia. And you remember about it. I give preference to antonomasia, i don't know why. But, of course, metonymy and synecdoche are interesting too. I remembered that Antonomasia examples can be found referring to many famous people who are eminent in their particular field of expertise or celebrity, so i know some bright examples: The Little Corporal - for Napoleon I His Majesty - for a king Her Royal Highness - for a princess Einstein - for a scientist The King of Rock - for Elvis Presley Then I found another examples on this wedsite http://www.e…

The whole scene had an eerie, surr…

Life is a dance (3) 4. My phone hates me 5. The candies look at me A. Metaphor - personification B. Metaphor - metagoge C. Metaphor - personification D. Metaphor - original, simple E.
