I have gained an acceptional understanding of rhetorical devices in AP. The only issue being, however, is that I still must understand how to identify rhetorical devices in certain passages. I have trouble trying to find most other rhetorical devices, such as paradox, anadiplosis, and synecdoche, aside from the ones that I do know. I would very much appreciate it if you could spend some time to tutor me and teach me to find key points that could help me identify devices in passages.
An example of my troubles is the timed writing for the passage "The Plastic Pink Flamingo: A Natural History", written by Jennifer Price. I remember spending so much time trying to find devices that I barely had ant time to begin writing the essay. I felt so frustrated trying to find one that I completely lost focus of my basis for my essay. By assisting me in finding key points in a passage, you can help in my development as a student and increase my chance of passing the AP test.
