Stylish Schemes

So you've probably heard of alliteration and parallelism. But what about chiasmus (chiasmi?) and epistrophes?

In the Challenge writing program, the Lost Tools of Writing, there are three steps to writing an essay:
1. Invention
2. Arrangement
3. Elocution

There are two more steps to make up the full 5 Canons of Rhetoric (Memory and Delivery) but we are focusing here on the writing part, the first three steps only.

So the 3rd step is elocution and that is when we get to add our personal style to the essay. Some of the styles we can add to an essay are called schemes and tropes.
Schemes are an appeal to the senses.
