September 23rd blog

Jimmy Bliss

On Friday, September 23rd, Mr. Rivers introduced the Literary Toolbox to us. The literary toolbox is a vocabulary list, containing many literary terms, including foreshadowing, onomatopoeia and many others. We were divided into groups by where we sit in class everyday and were assigned 4 words per group. my group's words were onomatopoeia, apostrophe, euphony and polysyndeton. An apostrophe is talking to an imaginary item, or a person/thing that is not present. An onomatopoeia is a word whose pronunciation imitate sounds that they describe. A euphony is a sound that is pleasing to the ear. A polysyndeton is a connecting piece of sentences, with the word 'and' used repeatedly. We have Monday to complete the assignment, as well, if needed. That is all we did in class on Friday.

  1. Nice post, Jimmy. Feel free to use a more casual tone; this a blog post, not an essay! Nice job with all the information. Don't forget your image, video, or other piece of media!
