Learning Log 6
The first literary devices I've learnt before was when I was secondary one. However, they were not as difficult to understand and memorize like those literary devices I have learnt now like paradox, oxymoron and rhetorical question. All of those literary devices were hard to understand at first, but with a little effort, I managed to get a hang of it well.
In the examinations, literary devices will be tested on a certain section and is also linked to Unseen poem section. In these particular section, the poet will use chosen literary devices in his or her poem and we have to identify, explain and understand what does the literary devices and the whole passage given means.
It maybe tough to remember the literary devices by heart but it would really be lifesaver if we knew the literary devices at our fingertips during our exams. An example of a literary device is 'hyperbole' . It is a deliberate exaggeration to emphasize a point or feelings. An example would be 'She must have weighed a ton !! ' .Although the literary devices takes time to understand and remember, it enhances the meaning of a poem and make it sounds even better .
