Is there anything bigger than Michael's toad eyes? rhetorical question Ellikot: Such eyes would be more conspicuous than Lai Mohammed's lies. Assonance Ukaay: You need to lie flatly not to see such. Sarcasm Ellikot: We know it's possible to have eyes and be blind. paradox Ukaay: Like having a heart, yet dead. Antithesis Ellikot: Even with such eyes, he still gets hurt from kicking the bucket. euphemism Ukaay: He had big eyes and cannot see: yet what we see as the little Sun can see.Irony/paradox/ Pathetic fallacy |

Hello, beautiful writers. At the start of the year, I started the writing and editing service platform, The Writing Hub. I have been writing and publishing professionally since 2013, but this year, I decided to have a platform that will project the service further. Also, I want to create a platform for writers to share their works and reach a wider audience. That's why I'm asking you to be part of Writing Hub. We have a growing Facebook page you can share your work and reach a wider audience. We have plans for a website, blog, Instagram and Twitter pages soon. But first, we need writers willing to provide content. To be part, please drop your no, and I will add you to a WhatsApp group where we'd discuss our plans. Or you can PM me at 08164041005 |
