Literary Devices

Some literary devices that were successfully used in each of the classes specifically biology.  An example of Irony is found in "A Rose for Emily", when the author says: "See Colonel Sartoris (Colonel Sartoris had been dead almost ten years.)". This is an example of dramatic Irony and I chose it because I thought that it was very clever of Emily because she knew she did not have to pay taxes and the people who came to her door did not and she told them to talk to the one who told her not to pay taxes. Another example of literary devices is .

An example of foreshadowing comes in "Revelation", When the story starts out by saying: "and Mrs. Turpin who was very large made it look even smaller by her presence." (O'Connor, 381). This is an example of foreshadowing because as we see in the end of the book Mrs. Turpin is attacked by a very large lady and the lady says some really mean things to her and that is what Mrs. Turpin was doing, she was judging and putting labels on all of the people in the room. Then she got attacked and the attacker judged her the way she judged others. I chose this because I thought that it was a very clever use of foreshadowing and it was quite enjoyable to read. Those are 2 of the literary Devices that I noticed while reading my bed!
