For each question below, I give you a line from a sample speech,
and you will change that point to include a specific type of
figurative, oral language. Highlight your revision.
First read the sample example, and then respond to the next
questions:
Assignment:
Sample: Revise this point to include deliberate
repetition: "Because I wasn’t ready to be an adult or
be done with school, I decided to attend Illinois State
University to pursue my master’s degree in Communication."
One Possible Answer: "Because I was not ready to be an
adult and because I was not ready to be done with school,
I decided to attend Illinois State University and pursue my
master's degree in communication"
Respond to the Following Questions:
1. Revise this line to include a metaphor or a simile:
"At the time, I didn’t realize that I was taking too many
credits each semester during the summer."
2. Revise this line to use personal pronouns such as
"we," "you," or "your," "I," and "us" and/or more concise language
with short, powerful phrases: "At a very young age,
farm kids start irrigating, maybe with parents, every summer. Some
farm kids start babysitting as young as 9 or 10 years
old."
3. Revise this line to include alliteration (same first
consonant sound) at some point (you can add any words you need to
so that it will work): "I also have done wedding and event
planning, worked as a barista, worked in retail, mentored, nannied,
and tutored."
4. Revise this line to use parallelism (a repeated
structure - the sample shows repetition and
parallelism): "Someday I want to move into
administration. I want to make a difference at a higher level. I
also want to help people."
and you will change that point to include a specific type of
figurative, oral language. Highlight your revision.
