This confuses the driver because it contradicts each other.]]> 2018-11-02 20:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jxcelynnewwin/rhetoricaldevice/wish/299977572 jxcelynnewwin https://padlet.com/jxcelynnewwin/rhetoricaldevice/wish/299978438 He was insanely normal.

"Insanely normal" have opposite meanings, giving more emphasize and exaggeration to how normal the boy was. ]]> 2018-11-02 20:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jxcelynnewwin/rhetoricaldevice/wish/299978438 jxcelynnewwin https://padlet.com/jxcelynnewwin/rhetoricaldevice/wish/299979164 At home, my sister is always "busy" doing nothing.

Being busy usually means to be occupied with a lot of tasks. "Busy doing nothing" are words that contradict each other, but it gives a comedic effect to the sentence.

'Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up]]> 2018-11-02 20:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jxcelynnewwin/rhetoricaldevice/wish/299980357 knnguyen131 https://padlet.com/jxcelynnewwin/rhetoricaldevice/wish/299981112 In the song "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree", Brenda Lee lyrics, "in the new old-fashioned way" to describe the dancing mentions in the song.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing, let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone dancin' merrily
In the new old-fashioned way
You will…
