On today’s rhetorical devices test, was it easier to recognize devices from their definitions or identify them in quotations? Explain why, and discuss a device that challenged you, if any. What did this experience reveal about how well your study habits prepared you?

 I think it was easier to recognize them from their quotes. Since the quote has the answer somewhat in the quote. Like if someone asks is the sky blue? Like the rhetorical question is yes. Since everyone knows that. This is how I used the quotes to asnwer my questions test. Summary: We took a quiz on rhetorical devices Reflection: In the future, I will be able to understand how to work with rhetorical devices. I will be better to use them in the future.

Consider the following statement: "We spend more time connecting online but less time connecting in person." Do you agree or disagree with this antithesis? Explain your perspective using personal experiences. Discuss how technology has influenced the way people communicate and build relationships. In your response, include at least one original example of antithesis.

 I think this is not true. I very much so hang out more in person with people rather than online. I do think technology has helped us socialize but it is not the only way people hang out. I have met way more people in person rather than online. This is my take on how technology is more important to connect with people.
