Rhetorical Devices / Figures of Speech

This PP I designed to introduce some of the most used rhetorical devices. I have used this for public speaking, but now I´m using it for English from the media. The examples are drawn from common idioms, famous speeches, literature, movies, and ads. Please see my other PP to accompany this introduction as an in-class game to guess the device.
