SAT寫作-Stylistic element (2)

繼我們上節(jié)的evidence分析之后，接下來本周我們將來學(xué)習(xí)學(xué)習(xí)prompt中的第三小點的內(nèi)容-stylistic or persuasive elements。

話不多說，先回顧下這個prompt，看看還眼熟不？

眼熟的表揚(yáng)

不眼熟的回去跪榴蓮吧～記憶里這么差，還不愛學(xué)習(xí)。

（這時候應(yīng)該就有小伙伴細(xì)聲發(fā)問，為啥講完1的evidence，不講2的reasoning，直接跳到3的stylistic element呢，這么沒有規(guī)律的嗎？）

（當(dāng)然是有規(guī)律有意義的啦，因為reasoning會涉及到段落整體結(jié)構(gòu)的理解，而stylistic or persuasive elements只是部分句子內(nèi)容的分析。所以，是不是更簡單更好掌握呢？）

回顧一下在上一節(jié)的evidence中講過的內(nèi)容，就是如何去進(jìn)行分析：

step 1: identity

step 2: quote, paraphrase, summarize

step 3: analyze

接下來，我們將對stylistic or persuasive elements進(jìn)行細(xì)分講解。

1， Classification

Simile（明瑜）, metaphor（暗喻）, personification（擬人）, parallelism（排比）, irony（諷刺）, hyperbole（夸張）, allusion（引用典故）

2， 抽取幾個高頻的來分析分析8～

A: simile & metaphor

Similes are comparisons that use the words like or as ;

metaphors are comparison that are implied rather than stated.

（這是官方對于2者的解釋，如何分不清，沒關(guān)系，直接用metaphor，因為metaphor除了暗喻，還有比喻手法的意思，可以指2者。）

Example～：

“flypapers…dangling like toxic seaweed.”

體會下作者想表達(dá)的意思：

把傳單比喻成水草，可以體現(xiàn)出商家為了宣傳產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)是多么的persistent，像水草一樣把你纏住，而消費(fèi)者往往由于夸大受騙而沒有意識到；此外，toxic這個詞奠定了感情基調(diào)，有毒的，表明了作者對于這些發(fā)傳單者的負(fù)面態(tài)度。

The authors applied simile for direction comparison between flypapers and seaweed. By using such comparison, the author vividly shows the similar feature of both, that is persistent but annoyed, so as to present an image in our mind about the sales trying too hard to sell you something. The usage of simile can draw the readers’interest and lead them into the passage.

B：irony

Irony is the contrast between what is expected and what actually happens. This type of irony can be used to surprise readers.

Example~:

A strange thing has happened in the American arts during the past quarter century. While income rose to unforeseen levels, college attendance ballooned, and access to information increased enormously, the interest young Americans showed in arts - and especially literature - actually diminished.

可以體會出來作者的無奈和絕望嗎

The author uses irony to emphasize his argument. In paragraph 1, the author points out “a strange thing”in the U.S. that while income, college attendance as well as access to information all increase, “the interest young Americans showed in the arts – and especially literature – actually diminished.”by employing ironic contrast, the author directly presents the urgent phenomenon appearing in the contemporary society that fewer and fewer people read literature. This irony shows that since citizens have more money and they can get higher education to realize the significance of reading, together with more reading materials, the interest in arts should not decline, but increase. Meanwhile, it also shows the disappointment of the author.

好了，這個就是關(guān)于stylistic or persuasive element的簡單分析，記得關(guān)注下回的reasoning噢～
