Learning Log 6

Literary Devices is an important step to successfully understand an
unseen text, because without them, we wouldn't be able to comprehend
what the text is trying to convey to the reader. They are also very interesting
as the literary devices gives us an idea of how the character looks like, the
character's actions and their feelings. Example-"whining like a kitten"
; which is a simile, means the author probably wishes to emphasize the character's
small physique and dependent nature. Her whining suggests her persistence
in seeking the attention she needs, just like a kitten seeking attention from her
mother. I think that the literary device, oxymoron, is the most interesting among
all the other literary device as they are made up of two contradicting words which
we have to make sense out of it. Its like "pretty ugly" means ugly :P
