Help For Finding Tropes!

Look in your yellow books on page 181 for kinds of moves.

Or search the Silva Rhetoricae site which is at rhetoric.byu.edu.

But use the Google Search Trick to search the site since the site's search box is broken: site:rhetoric.byu.edu [followed by search terms like repetition to find kinds of repetition]

Or you can just Google around for common tropes, especially in shorter lists, like here, here, and here.

Let me know if you need help.

And here is the MLA guide for citing a song:

Welcome to Writing 111

Hi there.

So, this blog will be our homebase.  Our class space in cyberspace.  Our hub.  I'll post files here occasionally, and other English randomness, but also you'll be able to see each others' blogs in the link list on the right and keep up with what your community is saying and doing.  I encourage commenting and sharing!!!  Post whatever you like along with the posts that I ask of you. 

From there, the rest is yours.

Welcome.
