It has been a while since I wrote on Medium and I just found the perfect challenge to flex my writing muscles with this writing challenge on literary devices from Holly Jahangiri. To give it my own twist, I am going to write a short post about a book that summarizes or features this literary device in alphabetical order. #ABCBookReviewChallenge

The original challenge link is here and also has a link to a gazillion literary techniques and figures of speech — so I have mind-blowing choices to pick from…

Aposiopesis

For the letter “A” I am going with “Aposiopesis” or becoming silent. Honestly, “anthology” would have been easier, but I decided to go bold with my first post. For this technique, I am picking a book where a critical character or twist is left unspoken, so readers jump to a misleading conclusion and miss a giant elephant in the room!
