Blog Post 5: Ancient Style
What I found most interesting about the ancient style reading was how punctuation has changed throughout time. Some of the information about the tropes I already knew about, but when I read I was reading it throughout the article, it seemed like it was new information. One of the things the article talked about was personification, which I had some experience with in the past, but I absorbed a lot of new information. A lot of the terms in the article I already knew, but I didn’t know where they came from. For example, I learned that climax is the greek word for ladder. Overall, I took in a lot of new information that will prove useful in the future for me as an English major. I found the reading a little bit difficult, but after a few glances, it was very informative.
