Sorry and here's your shmoop douceur brought to you by

00:04

literary devices like our toaster that can't get enough Joyce

00:09

Yeah i got three Listen Stately pumped stately plump but

00:14

mulligan gang I'm reading shakespeare handle policy You know jake

00:25

Okay yeah we're done Which device does the speaker employ

00:29

most And here the potential answers Understatement alliteration Metaphor huh

00:35

All right Well we need a strong grasp on the

00:37

whole passage for this one way Don't have one It

00:39

might be a good idea to skim through the past

00:41

again with all these options in mind and do it

00:42

quickly because these test time yet option d thinks the

00:46

speaker is being ironic the whole time Like alanis morissette

00:49

number isn't it I want it And you can use

00:53

the word wrong so don't follow her lead anyway If

00:56

that were so the speaker would be saying the opposite

00:58

of what he means to make the point and ironic

01:01

speech is sort of a wink wink nudge nudge situation

01:04

like a black fly in your chardonnay As faras we

01:08

can tell the speaker is saying exactly what he means

01:10

We declare this speech irony free answer b says that

01:14

speaker uses a lot of a literary ation or words

01:17

that begin with the same constant sound If this were

01:21

true the speaker's speech might sound like this The quota

01:24

of questions makes me quiver quack and quake willie Luckily

01:28

the speech sounds nothing like that We're gonna have to

01:30

say no it a choice A speaker doesn't seem all

01:33

that in tow Understatement Where does he purposely downplay anything

01:37

We'll know where that we can see if anything he's

01:39

an exaggeration feet he claims the speaker is sweet on

01:42

similes but the speaker doesn't use many besides the facebook

01:47

status worthy similarly about the violin If you want to

01:50

make that quote your facebook status well we won't judge

01:53

options He gets it right all sorts of tricks or

01:56

pulled out of the hat But metaphor is the speaker's

01:58

favorite For example the whole immortality sunrise infancy bid is

02:03

a metaphor with a capital m And as we all

02:06

know capitalized metaphors are way better than the ones in 00:02:09.38 --> [endTime] lower case
