Answer 2

if they aren't in your dictionary, check out the "forest of rhetoric" for definitions and examples:

I can tell you that an oxmoron is the joining of two seemingly opposed terms, usually with one modifiying the other. The example often given is "jumbo-shrimp", but I think that there is a fallacy (equivocation) there in that it is an oxmoron if you are viewing shrimp in the figurative sense of being something small, e.g. "hand over your lunch money, you shrimp," but if you are using it as the crustacean, as is the case here. A better one might be "awkward grace" or "deafening silence." Good luck.

Answer 3

polysyndeton-using several conjunctions in close succession, especially where some might be omitted (as in 'he ran and jumped and laughed for joy')
oxymoron-A rhetorical device in which two seemingly contradictory words are used together for effect: “She is just a poor little rich girl.”
asyndeton-the omission of conjunctions where they would normally be used
antithesis-The direct or exact opposite: Hope is the antithesis of despair.
syntax-the grammatical arrangement of words in sentences
parallelism-agreement in direction, tendency, or character; the state or condition of being parallel
inversion-An interchange of position of adjacent objects in a sequence, especially a change in normal word order, such as the placement of a verb before its subject.
logos-the rational principle that governs and develops the universe/A name, symbol, or trademark designed for easy and definite recognition, especially one borne on a single printing plate or piece of type.
