My teacher gave us these packets in the beginning of the year with the main literary devices we would have to know for our AP exam. He calls these packets our Bibles, and always says "Take out your Bibles." when we need them. Today, my friend responded to this by taking out a pocket-sized King James Bible. I didn't know whether to laugh or slap him upside the head.
Because they're insanely important, apparently. They have like 100 something literary devices that we need for analysis of reading passages and crap.
