Anaphora

definition: the deliberate repetition of a word or phrase at the BEGINNING of a sentence or paragraph and its successive verses

Another video example ;)

Video with Examples

Anaphora Formula

How can YOU incorporate this into a paper?

[Desired word/phrase here] _______________, [Repeat word/phrase] ______________, [Repeat word/phrase] __________... and so on

My (bad) example:

Here we go, learning about rhetorical devices. Here we go, trying to pay attention in our 8am and listen to Cynthia go on and on about anaphoras.

--this adds drama, so if you want drama in your paper, anaphora is for you!

--not really for a research paper, maybe for persuasive, narrative, or descriptive

--could definitely be used in speeches though

-i.e: I Have a Dream speech

-"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice..."

BETTER EXAMPLES

The Beatles' Help!--

Help, I need somebody

Help, not just anybody

Help, you know I need someone

Aladdin's A Whole New World--

A whole new world

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you

Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities--

"It was the best of times,

It was the worst of times.

It was the age of wisdom,

It was the age of foolishness..."

Britney Spears' Oops, I Did it Again--

Oops, I did it again. I played with your heart, got lost in the game.

Oops, you think I'm in love. That I'm sent from above, I'm not that innocent

Rhetorical Devices--As Exciting as Driving a Racecar!

Epistrophe, Synecdoche, Anaphora

"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears."

Synecdoche in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar

The To Be Or Not Guy

Synecdoche

(Si-neck-doh-key)

Definition: A type of metaphor in which the part stands for the whole or vice versa.

Egg Samples

"The police are after me!" - Criminal. In reality only a few police officers are in pursuit.

"I got paper" - Every rapper ever in reference to money.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

“The western wave was all a-flame.

The day was well was nigh done!

Almost upon the western wave

Rested the broad bright Sun”

The western wave represents the entire pacific ocean in this synecdoche, an example in literature of a sydecdoche.

Epistrophe

(Epi-struffy)

Definition: The repetition of the same word or words at the end of successive phrases, clauses, or sentences.

A Painfully Obvious Example

I'm on a boat

I'm on a boat

Everybody look at me 'cuz I'm sailing on a boat

I'm on a boat

I'm on a boat

Take a good hard look at the boat

"A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!"

"With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day."
