6 A dangling participle walks into a bar. Enjoying a cocktail and chatting with the bartender, the evening passes pleasantly. A bar was walked into by the passive voice. An oxymoron walked into a bar, and the silence was deafening. Two quotation marks walk into a bar. A malapropism walks into a bar, looking for all intensive purposes like a wolf in cheap clothing, muttering epitaphs and casting dispersions on his magnificent other, who takes him for granite. Hyperbole totally rips into this insane bar and absolutely destroys everything. A question mark walks into a bar? A non sequitur walks into a bar. In a strong wind, even turkeys can fly. Papyrus and Comic Sans walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Get out we don't serve your type." A mixed metaphor walks into a bar, seeing the handwriting on the wall but hoping to nip it in the bud. A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves. Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They converse. They depart. A synonym strolls into a tavern. At the end of the day, a cliché walks into a bar fresh as a daisy, cute as a button, and sharp as a tack. A run on sentence walks into a bar it starts flirting. With a cute little sentence fragment. Falling slowly, softly falling, the chiasmus collapses to the bar floor. A figure of speech literally walks into a bar and ends up getting figuratively hammered. An allusion walks into a bar, despite the fact that alcohol is its Achilles heel. The subjunctive would have walked into a bar, had it only known. A misplaced modifier walks into a bar owned a man with a glass eye named Ralph. The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense. A dyslexic walks into a bra. A verb walks into a bar, sees a beautiful noun, and suggests they conjugate. The noun declines. An Oxford comma walks into a bar, where it spends the evening watching the television getting drunk and smoking cigars. A simile walks into a bar, as parched as a desert. A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to forget. A hyphenated word and a non hyphenated word walk into a bar and the bartender nearly chokes on the irony. *(I can t take credit for these, but the malapropism is my favorite. Enjoy!)

7 VOCABULARY WORDS OF THE DAY: Euphemism from the Greek for "good speech", euphemisms are a more agreeable or less offensive substitute for generally unpleasant word or concept. i.e. "earthly remains", instead of "corpse" Extended Metaphor a metaphor developed at great length, occurring frequently in or throughout a work. i.e. Within the overarching metaphor of "life is a highway," several other metaphors make up the extended metaphor, and each one has its own tenor and vehicle: the various stages of life are like the varied landscapes of a large country; the challenges of life are like car troubles; friends are like road maps. Figurative Language writing or speech that is not intended to carry literal meaning and is usually meant to be imaginative VOCABULARY WORDS OF THE DAY: Inference/Infer To draw a reasonable conclusion from the information presented. When a multiple choice question asks for an inference to be drawn, the most direct, most reasonable inference is the safest answer choice. If an inference is implausible, it's unlikely to be the correct answer. NOTE: if the answer choice is directly stated, it is NOT inferred. Irony Expectation vs. Reality 1. verbal irony when the words literally state the opposite of what the speaker means 2. dramatic irony when the reader/ audience knows something that the character does not 3. situational irony when events turn out the opposite of what was expected Loose/Cumulative Sentence A type of sentence in which the main idea (independent clause) comes first, followed by dependent grammatical units such as phrases and clauses. i.e. I arrived at the San Diego airport after a long, bumpy ride, and multiple delays. Figure of Speech a device used to produce figurative language, including apostrophe, hyperbole, irony, metaphor, oxymoron, paradox, personification, simile, synecdoche, and understatement i.e. "Life is a journey." (metaphor) Metaphor A figure of speech using implied comparison of seemingly unlike things or the substitution of one for the other, suggesting some similarity. Metaphorical language makes writing more vivid, imaginative, thought provoking, and meaningful. i.e. All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players...
