Chapter 10: pp. 364 #3
This question requests that I “revise a passage I have written in the plain style so that it is appropriate for a more formal rhetorical situation.” So, in attempts to do this, I will use the paragraph I wrote in the last tropes example I provided, allegory, as an extension of it, and poorly placed disposition here within. Allegory is, to my understanding, a way of using metaphors from a previous statement of persuasion within a secondary statement of persuasion in order to influence ones outlook on things stated previously as one reads on into other areas of discussion. This question requests that I use “complex sentence constructions, longer words, and lots of figures and tropes.” To the first part of this requests, the complex sentence constructions, I am not going to spend any time to attempt to reach any further for what appears to be a request to turn this writing into statements that hold more complex sentence structures than the previous writing provided. I assume this attempt at answering question #3 will either be suggestive of good disposition, or poor representation. Just as the allegory previously attempted appears to self in poor quality, so does this one. Therefore, hopes that something of relevance here within is hope to have at least some quality of what requested of me, requested from me. Yet even at the greatest attempts, where accuracy is not an issue, some refrain from caring about the validity of their attempts. But the continuing efforts to accomplish this—knowing full well I have another imitation exercise to complete ahead of me—are forcing me to consider less as I move on. Hyperbaton, appositio, apostrophe, asyndeton, and polysyndeton—five figures discussed in chapter ten—are skipped over within this example of metabasis; as are figures of repetition, thought and tropes, lest already present in some way, sort or form.
