  1. Rhetoric

  2. Think of a line you know from a famous speech. Warm-up

  3. ANTITHESIS • When two contrasting ideas are intentionally juxtaposed (placed next to each other)

  4. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation that judges them not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

  5. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

  6. “The world will little note nor long remember what we said here, but it can never forget what they did here.”

  7. Find another example of antithesis in either the Gettysburg Address or “I Have a Dream.”

  8. Anaphora the repetition of the same word or group of words at the beginning of several consecutive sentences or verses

  9. We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills. We shall never surrender. Winston Churchill

  10. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  11. Metonymy: A figure of speech in which one word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated (such as "crown" for "royalty").

  12. Lend me your ear.

  13. The pen is mightier than the sword.

  14. You can’t fight city hall.

  15. This land belongs to the crown.

  16. Practice

  17. More Practice Describe a scene in which several people are waiting for a bus, train, or plane. Use metonymy to refer to the characters.

  18. Analogy • A kind of extended metaphor or long simile in which a comparison is made between two things (events, ideas, people, etc.) for the purpose of furthering a line of reasoning or drawing an inference

  19. "I don't think there's anything certainly more unseemly than the sight of a rock star in academic robes. It's a bit like when people put their King Charles spaniels in little tartan sweats and hats. It's not natural, and it doesn't make the dog any smarter."-- Bono, 2004 Commencement Address at The University of Pennsylvania

  20. "Don't worry about the future; or worry -- but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum."-- BazLuhrmann Everybody's Free (to Wear Sunscreen)

  21. "Remember this, ladies and gentlemen. It's an old phrase, basically anonymous -- that politicians are a lot like diapers: They should be changed frequently and for the same reason. Keep that in mind next time you vote. Good night. Delivered by Robin Williams (from the movie Man of the Year)

  22. Antithesis: pairing opposites to make a point Anaphora: repetition for effect Metonymy: replacing a word with another words that is closely associated Analogy: using an extended metaphor
