The document discusses several literary and rhetorical devices including analogy, parallelism, repetition, and metaphor. It provides definitions and examples for each device. For analogy, it explains that an analogy compares two unrelated objects for their shared qualities and gives examples comparing people to stained glass windows and life to a box of chocolates. For parallelism, it notes how repetition can be used to emphasize contrast through parallel grammatical structures, exemplifying with Neil Armstrong's moon landing quote. Repetition is defined as repeating words or phrases for emphasis, and common repetitive phrases are listed. Metaphor is explained as a direct comparison of two unrelated things through figurative rather than literal language.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. ANALOGY
An analogy is a literary technique in which two unrelated objects are compared for their
shared qualities.
EXAMPLES:
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but
when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from
within. (Quote by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in The Leader’s Digest by Jim Clemmer, 2003)
In this quote, the groundbreaking psychiatrist Elizabeth Kübler-Ross (well-known for her
5 Stages of Grief) gives an analogy about the human condition, saying that people, like
stained-glass, work differently in situations of light and dark.
3. ANALOGY
“My momma always said “life is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re
gonna get!” (Forrest Gump)
Here, Forrest Gump shares a very memorable analogy, beginning with the simile “life
was like a box of chocolates.” But, this is an analogy because it gives further support and
explanation for the comparison, showing that life has many choices and surprises, just
like a box of chocolate.
4. ANALOGY
It’s important to remember that a metaphor is not a kind of analogy – it’s a different
figure of speech altogether. However, it’s very similar to analogy in that they both
depend on some kind of similarity between two different objects.
Example of an analogy versus simile and metaphor:
Simile: Life is like a garden.
Metaphor: Life is a garden.
Analogy: Life is just like a garden–it is ever growing and changing, needing care and dedication, and
always filled with beautiful surprises.
Again, it’s important to remember that metaphors and similes are figures of speech,
while analogies are NOT. However, they are very similar to analogies in that they both
depend on some kind of similarity between two different objects.
5. PARALLELISM
It may feature repetition of a word or phrase for emphasis, or it can be used as a literary device to
create a parallel position between opposite ideas through grammatical elements as a means of
emphasizing contrast.
Examples:
One of the most well-known examples of parallelism is featured in Neil Armstrong’s statement, made
as he stepped on the moon: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The
structure of the two noun phrases in this sentence is similar due to the repeated use of “one.” This
engages the audience’s attention and emphasizes the contrast between “small step for man” and
“giant leap for mankind.” The significance of the event and the meaning of Armstrong’s statement are
enhanced through his use of parallelism.
6. PARALLELISM
Many common phrases feature parallelism through repetition of words, structure, or other grammatical
elements. This calls attention to the wording and can emphasize the phrase’s meaning. Here are some
common examples of parallelism:
•he that will cheat at play, will cheat you any way
•stupid is as stupid does
•cousins by chance; friends by choice
•luck is the idol of the idle
•no pain, no gain
•in for a penny, in for a pound
•you get what you get
•where there is smoke, there is fire
•when the going gets tough, the tough get going
•it takes one to know one
•have money in your head, not in your heart
•I think, therefore I am
7. REPETITION
Repetition is the repeating of a word or phrase. It is a common rhetorical device used to add emphasis
and stress in writing and speech. Repetition is widely used in both poetry and prose; throughout
all genres and forms of literature and oral tradition. Aside from helping stress or highlight important
thoughts and points, repetition can be a key tool for authors and speakers in developing style, tone, and
rhythm.
Common Examples of Repetition
We use repetition every day without realizing it. These are examples that you probably hear people say every day:
•Time after time;
•Heart-to-heart;
•Hand in hand;
•Get ready, get set, go;
•Home sweet home;
•It is what it is.
8. METAPHOR
Metaphor (pronounced meh-ta-for) is a common figure of speech that makes a comparison by
directly relating one thing to another unrelated thing. Unlike similes, metaphors do not use words such
as “like” or “as” to make comparisons. The writer or speaker relates the two unrelated things that are
not actually the same, and the audience understands that it’s a comparison, not a literal equation.4
Writers use metaphor to add color and emphasis to what they are trying to express. For
instance, if you say someone has “a sea of knowledge,” you are using a metaphor to express how
smart or educated they are. “Knowledge” and “the sea” are not literally related, but they are
figuratively related because they are both immense things that are difficult to measure. By putting
them together, you can accentuate how vast a person’s knowledge is.
9. METAPHOR
She was a rock star at our last business presentation.
This is probably not referring to a literal rock star falling from space or the other common metaphor: a
musician performing at a rock concert. Instead, it simply means the person delivered a great performance
at the meeting and stood out like a rock star on the stage.
Example
Metaphor: All the world’s a stage.
Simile: All the world is like a stage.
Example
Metaphor: My heart is a lonely hunter.
Simile: My heart is like a lonely hunter.
