4. NAME______ BLOCK______ DATE______ AP Independent Reading Argument Analysis An argument is when a speaker or writer makes a claim, supports it with evidence, and has unstated assumptions that logically connect the two. The message or central argument of 1984 by George Orwell was that the government exploits citizens. For example, in the text the main character works for the Ministry of Information, but the job of the ministry is to misinform people so that they will not rebel against the government. Next, the government controls where people can work and what they can think. Finally, when the main character does rebel against this though-control and against “Big Brother,” he is punished for it. While I agree with the claim that a government can use its power to control its people, and while I agree with the examples Orwell gave in support, I disagree with the assumption that all governments exploit their citizens

8. COMMON LITERARY DEVICES 1. Imagery: It is the use of figurative language to create visual representations of actions, objects and ideas in our mind in such a way that they appeal to our physical senses. For example:Imagery The room was dark and gloomy. -The words “dark” and “gloomy” are visual images. The river was roaring in the mountains. – The word “roaring” appeals to our sense of hearing. 2. Simile and Metaphor: Both compare two distinct objects and draws similarity between them. The difference is that Simile uses “as” or “like” and Metaphor does not. For example:SimileMetaphor “My love is like a red red rose” (Simile) He is an old fox very cunning. (Metaphor) 3. Hyperbole: It is deliberate exaggeration of actions and ideas for the sake of emphasis. For example:Hyperbole Your bag weighs a ton! I have got a million issues to look after! 4. Personification: It gives a thing, an idea or an animal human qualities. For example:Personification The flowers are dancing beside the lake. Have you see my new car? She is a real beauty! 5. Alliteration: It refers to the same consonant sounds in words coming together. For example:Alliteration Better butter always makes the batter better. She sells seashells at seashore. 6. Allegory: It is a literary technique in which an abstract idea is given a form of characters, actions or events. For example:Allegory “Animal Farm”, written by George Orwell, is an example allegory using the actions of animals on a farm to represent the overthrow of the last of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the Communist Revolution of Russia before WW II. In addition, the actions of the animals on the farm are used to expose the greed and corruption of the Revolution. 7. Irony: It is use of the words in such a way in which the intended meaning is completely opposite to their literal meaning. For example:Irony The bread is soft as a stone. So nice of you to break my new PSP! ***WE’LL DISCUSS SATIRE LATER ****
