Learning Log 6

Our class had learnt literary device in the literature lesson from last week and we are almost finishing it in this week. I had learnt what literary device is and found that they are quite interesting. Some of the devices seem familiar to me as we had learnt some of them last year. For example: I know that simile is the comparison between two distinctly different things, indicated by the use of ‘like’ and ‘as’ and one of the example is ‘he danced like a hippopotamus’. We also learnt other device like,metaphor,personification,symbol,visual,auditory,olfactory,gustatory,kinesthetic, rhyme, tactile,rhythm,onomatopoeia,alliteration,tone,connotation,oxymoron,hyperbole,paradox,simple sentence, complex sentence, incomplete sentence, exclamation, rhetorical question and repetition. I understand that different device is use at different place. If we want to describe sense, we can use visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, kinesthetic and tactile. I also feel that these devices are useful in literature as it can decorate or improve a prose or poem by making them more interesting.
