WA8ELAI2
For example:
identifying how authors use rhetorical devices that reveal the dark or serious aspects of a topic in humorous or amusing ways, such as by making a statement but implying or meaning the opposite (irony), exaggerating or overstating something (hyperbole), imitating or mocking something (parody), and making something appear less serious than it really is (understatement)
