Unheard Of!!

 Today we learned about some more rhetorical devices, but there's one in particular that I really want to talk about. The device is procatalepsis, it pronounced  pro-kat-u-lep-sis. It deals specifically with objections. Even though I haven't heard of this, I actually use it. Here's an example: It was said that African Americans are an ashamed race, look at Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks, we as African Americans are the opposite of an ashamed race, we are a proud race. Who knew that a word so unheard , is something I do everyday.
