Presentation transcript:

Poetic Devices, New & Old 1. Hyperbole 2. Irony/Paradox 3. Anaphora/ Epistrophe

Hyperbole An obvious and deliberate exaggeration (to emphasize something or for humorous purposes).

Examples of a Hyperbole I love you more than life itself. Love is exaggerated. He could eat a horse. His appetite is exaggerated.

2. Irony Saying the opposite of what you actually mean (with a twist).

Examples of Irony Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Surrounded by water in the ocean, but none of it is drinkable. The directions were as clear as mud. Obviously, they weren’t very clear directions (this is also a simile!).

Paradox A statement that seems to contradict or oppose itself, yet actually reveals some truth.

Examples of a Paradox It’s hard work doing nothing. Youth is wasted on the young. The more we know, the less we understand. The less you have, the more you are free. (Or …the more you have.) I can resist anything but temptation. Her silence was deafening.

Anaphora The repetition of words at the beginning of clauses. Purpose is to add emphasis/meaning or build to a climax. EXAMPLE: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream Speech”

4. Epistrophe The repetition of words at the end of clauses. Purpose: add emphasis/meaning or build to a climax. Example: "For no government is better than the men who compose it, and I want the best, and we need the best, and we deserve the best.“ (John F. Kennedy, speech at Wittenberg College, Oct. 17, 1960)
