Simply from the repetition of "see?"<BR/><BR/>"We made a difference in the city...All in all, not bad, not bad at all."<BR/><BR/>-- Could this be antanaclasis (like the "see" and "see" one above) because of repetition of "all" and "bad?" Or is it that antanaclasis is a vehicle for the litotes going on?<BR/><BR/>"The democrats have become so enamored and beholden to Wall Street..."<BR/><BR/>-- I can see how Wall Street acts metonymically; could it also be persopopeia, since Wall Street seems to be seducing the dems?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Thank you.karenbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411166340461064218noreply@blogger.com
