Literary Devices and Figures of Speech

Faulty reasoning means improper or mistakes in reasoning.

It can also be a propaganda technique used to manipulate how you feel about someone or something. It gives some main ideas that don't support the conclusion.

For example, let's say there was an advertisement for a shampoo.

"If you don't use our hair products, your hair will thin, you'll lose your hair, and nobody will want to be your friend."

That doesn't support the conclusion, by saying that by not using the shampoo, nobody will like you.

Here's another:

"Christians believe in God. Muslims believe in God. Therefore, Christians are Muslims."

That doesn't support the conclusion in any way. Christians are obviously not Muslim just because they believe in God. In fact, it may not even be the same God!

That's what faulty reasoning is.

Figurative speech would mean "figures of speech" - both terms refer to the same linguistic manipulations.

It's the use of a metaphor, analogy, simile, or other speech tools to enhance and lend imagery and understanding to what's being said.

One example from the famous speech in question is the following line:

'I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed; We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'

In this line, a nation cannot actually rise up as Dr. King states. A nation is an inanimate object and has no free will. It cannot literally rise up any more than a box or a rock can. The phrase is meant to convey that the people of the nation would embrace change and strive for a higher ideal, living up to the expectations we set for ourselves as a society. This complete and complex thought is elegantly and eloquently expressed with the simple phrase of 'this nation will rise up' instead.

There are other examples in that same line as well. 'We hold these truths to be self-evident.'

Truths cannot actually be held.

Truths are an abstract concept, not a concrete object, and therefore they cannot be 'self-evident.'

These are figures of speech, and they are collectively examples of figurative speech.

I was myself doing an assignment and so I thought I'd help you out! Because the answer above doesn't seem very helpful haha

similes and metaphors.

Figurative language is a part of speech. Examples of figurative language are Similes Metaphors Personification Hyperbole Idioms Alliteration and something else. A simile is when you compare 2 things using like or as. A metaphor is saying that something is something for example we were a herd of wild beasts. Personification is when you give something human characteristics. Hyperbole's are fun they tend to be silly. Idioms is saying something that means something else for example many people say it's raining cats and dogs. It means it is pouring down rain. And last is Alliteration it is saying a group of 3 or more words that start with the same sound for example the Lazy Lions Lounging under the tree

No. The expression "looking forward" takes the preposition "to." Also, instead of consideration, reply or positive reply will be more suitable in the sentence.

There are 2. the other sniper is one of them and the war is another. of course the other sniper is the antagonist because he and the sniper are fighting against each other but the reason why the Irish Civil War is also the antagonist is because the war is basically causing the problem. is there were no war, then no one would die from the war like the other sniper (the sniper's brother whom he had killed.)

Hope this helps

It's not unlike walking like an Egyptian. After a few beers, you don't care how foolish you look or sound.

'Semi-conscious' means not fully conscious or awake.

Time frame is important to the story because it gives the reader an understanding of how quickly events are taking place and what things are happening at the same time. This creates a clear setting in the mind of the reader, so they can better imagine how the story is taking place.

The neoclassicists held the belief that man was the supreme power of all, the center of all thought and truth. As said by Alexander Pope, "the proper study of mankind is man." They held strictly to reason and order, to intellect and precision. They attempted to achieve perfection. Opposing them was the next era, however, of romanticism. Romantics, in direct opposition to the previous age, believed in the guiding forces of nature. They believed that nature held all truth, and didn't search for such in science and mathematics as the neoclassicists did. They were impassioned and fond of beauty, as well as myth.

I take exception to the above answer. I believe the person has his or her musical periods confused (or perhaps did not see the question as pertaining to music).

MUSICALLY speaking, the Romantic Period (1825 or 30 to 1900 or 1910), was a period of excesses. Composers tried to push the envelope further and further, in everything from the size of the orchestra, chromaticism (both melodic and harmonic), length of works, demands of performers as well as audiences, etc.

It was because of these excesses that some in the early 20th Century believed things could be pushed no further, so they must be broken down and rebuilt. This resulted in several different ways of rebuilding. Schoenberg founded the 12-tone system of atonal, serial composition, and others such as Webern and Berg ran with this. Meanwhile, there were other composers that focused more on sound and ambience, leaving traditional harmony behind, but still working within current ideas of what was accepted as consonant or dissonant (such as Satie or Debussy).

Another significant movement at the same time was neoclassicism. Neoclassical composers like Bartok, Stravinsky, and Hindemith, decided that music needed to return to the more disciplined and ordered nature of the music of the Classical Period. This was applied to most of the same areas that Romantic composers went for excesses. Harmony is a notable exception, as some of these composers, particularly Hindemith, formulated their own harmonic ideas. But they were still acoustically based (as had been functional tonality), and quite refined.

In short, the classical mindset of order and logic was revisited, albeit with a fresh face, by the Neoclassicists, in response to Romantic excesses.

To build castles in the air means dream of or plan for something highly impractical or impossible.

Robert Frost often employs personification to describe trees, attributing human qualities to them to evoke emotion and connection. For example, he might depict trees as "whispering" or "dancing," suggesting they have feelings or intentions. This technique deepens the reader's engagement with nature, illustrating the trees as living entities that interact with their environment. Additionally, Frost frequently uses imagery to create vivid pictures of the trees, enhancing the sensory experience of his poetry.

Euphemism is from the greek 'eu' which means 'good' and 'pheme' which means 'speech'. Euphemism is the act of substituting a milder, less harsh, less upsetting word or phrase for a harsher one. An example of a euphemism is saying "Mr. Jones 'passed away' Friday," instead of "Mr. Jones 'died' Friday."

An example of using 'euphemistic' in a sentence is:

Bob, who swears every time he opens his mouth at home, is euphemistic while in church.

The parts of an author card are class number, call number, name of author, place of the publisher, publisher and year of the publisher.

The answer to that question is no. It's no because a metaphor is an compairson that says one thing is another and an idiom is an expression that says one thaing but means something quite different ( It's raining cats and dogs, which means it's raining heavily). The answer to that question is no.
