1 HOTSEAT 11AP Semester 1 - Final Review

2 DIRECTIONS Each row is a team. The seat in the back of the row is the HOT SEAT. After I read the quote on the board, the person in the Hot Seat must write the correct rhetorical device on their white board and pass it to the front. If the team notices the answer is incorrect, they can pass it back, and work together until the Hot Seat has the correct answer. With each correct answer, the team rotates who is in the Hot Seat.

4 Alliteration

5 A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair (C. Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities).

6 Anaphora

7 "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past" (F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby).

14 APPEAL TO AUTHORITY-appealing to Jennifer Aniston as an authority figure on lotion even though she has no medical background in dermatology

15

16 ZEUGMA-The word caught is being applied literally (to baseball) and figuratively (to cold). Oh look, parenthesis!

17 He cried all night dry sobs shook his wooden frame. they were so loud that they could be heard by the faraway hills (C. Colloid, The Adventures of Pinocchio ).

20 Synecdoche the broomy stumps refer to the broom as a whole

21 I would have given anything for the power to soothe her frail soul, tormenting itself in its invincible ignorance like a small bird beating about the cruel wires of a cage (Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim).

22 SIMILE Helplessness of the soul is compared to a bird in a cage beating itself against merciless wires of the cage to be free.

23 "Brrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinng! An alarm clock clanged in the dark and silent room" (Richard Wright, Native Son).

24 Onomatopoeia

25 Learnèd Faustus, to find the secrets of astronomy Graven in the book of Jove s high firmament, Did mount him up to scale Olympus top, Where, sitting in a chariot burning bright, Drawn by the strength of yokèd dragons necks, He views the clouds, the planets, and the stars (Marlow, Doctor Faustus Act III).

26 Allusion

27 "O western wind, when wilt thou blow That the small rain down can rain?" "Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art" (J. Keats).

28 apostrophe

29 "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal" (T.S. Eliot, "Philip Massinger").

30 Parallelism

31 I lived at West Egg, the - well, the least fashionable of the two, though this is a most superficial tag to express the bizarre and not a little sinister contrast between them (F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby).

32 Euphemism

33 "The means are at hand to fulfill the age-old dream: poverty can be abolished. How long shall we ignore this under-developed nation in our midst? How long shall we look the other way while our fellow human beings suffer? How long?" (Michael Harrington, The Other America: Poverty in the United States, 1962).

34 Rhetorical Questions

35 "I don't care a fig for his sense of justice--i don't care a fig for the wretchedness of London; and if I were young, and beautiful, and clever, and brilliant, and of a noble position, like you, I should care still less" (Henry James, The Princess Casamassima).

36 Polysyndeton

46 oxymoron

47 "Then I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there..... An' when our folk eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build--why, I'll be there." (Tom Joad in John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath).

48 Epistrophe

49 "[W]ith a vigorous and sudden snatch, I brought my assailant harmlessly, his full length, on the not over clean ground--for we were now in the cow yard." (Frederick Douglass, My Bondage and My Freedom, 1855).

50 litotes

51 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).

52 Anaphora

53

54 ZEUGMA-The word execute is being applied literally (citizens) and figuratively (laws). Oh look, parenthesis!

55 Many people believe John F. Kennedy was a great leader. As a US President, he served during the continuing anti-communism crusade of the 1940s and 1950s. He united citizens. He raised citizen's hopes and dreams, instilling in people a desire to take personal action. A friend of mine volunteered in homeless shelters before volunteering became such a buzz word like it has today. He once met this guy...i think his name was Charlie...well, Charlie had a lisp and rolled his r's in his words--my friend thought that was really funny! I told him he shouldn't make fun of people! But...well anyway... President Kennedy really encouraged people to give of themselves!
