What I've learned in the course of English Stylistics

    In the course of English Stylistics I’ve learned lots of interesting things. For me it was always a problem to find the difference between an epithet and a metaphor. Now I can easily do it. Also I’ve learned many new terms, such as simile, litotes, metonymy and so on, which help me to better understand the stylistic devices, which are used in the text. Now I realize that I’m not just reading the text, but receive the author’s message. And every time I’m reading anything I start to think about what the author wanted to say by usage of these words and by putting them in a particular order. I enjoy reading more than ever.
