During class today we continued with our presentations of devices that we use when we write. The group that went today was Callie, Kayla, John and Kevin. The first term that they introduced to us was an apostrophe. An apostrophe is when you give a nonexistent person or an object feelings making it seem like it could understand them. An example of an apostrophe is when a person yells at their phone to work. The next term was euphony. Euphony is when there is a sentence and it has a euphoric sound to it. An example of euphony would be the lullaby twinkle twinkle little star because the sounds and letters used in this lullaby sound very euphoric to the ear. The next term is onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is when a word imitates the natural sound of something. An example of an onomatopoeia is the bee was buzzing very loud. The next term is polysydeton. A polysyndeton is when you repeat a conjunction to emphasize the point. The last term is alliteration. An alliteration is when you repeat letters or sounds in a sentence or sentences. And example of an alliteration would be Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, the "P" sound is what is being repeated.
