It is,most an example of personification,as it is giving heart a human ability. And also exaggerating how your heart is singing,but just bearing REALLY FAST

I am getting ready to take my Praxis II for Middle school ELA and this video was the best I have seen for this content. I hope I can be half this entertaining and informative as a teacher! Well done! Thank you for posting it to RU-vid!
2:51 isn't "we swung for the fences..." a metaphor? because the sentence doesn't acknowledge the comparison directly with like or as, instead it just states that swinging for fences and hitting a home run as if they happened, and then we're supposed to realize that this is metaphorical
edgar quiterio That's right, but personification can be a type of metaphor. The use of personification here for example makes an indirect comparison between the heart and a singer. It's also metonymy because the phrase "my heart" also refers to the whole person.
Been wracking my brain trying to find a literary term that describes what I find in op-ed pieces so often that ruins a perfectly good piece. Its where they try to cap off a solid paragraph with some kind of bon mot, or finishing flourish. So, often I think these are attempts to give an impression of cleverness, or somber depth of thought that is supposed to echo in our minds. I tried to invent a term for these too often cutesy sign-offs. Usually a few words indented in a hanging paragraph: Exeunt sortie Flourish finalé Exit mot Sortie mot etc. I dont know if there is a definite term for that kind of hanging remark.
Most people doing videos like these focus on defining the terms, but spend no time demonstrating how literary elements add depth and enhance meaning. What is the sense of defining a bunch of terms without pointing out how they help a writer to convey a message effectively? Show students how and when they too can use literary devices.
