Reviewing for the AP Test

The main thing I was working on this week was incorporating literary devices and techniques into my essays. That is something that I never really understood how or why I had to do it, so I never did. This whole week I have been training my brain to try and pick out elements that I could put into an essay if I had to. Re-reading a couple chapters of Frankenstein I set my brain on critical thinking mode and tried to do it as fast as I could. It sounds simple and not up to scratch with all this heavy duty essay writing we've been doing, but I know my brain. It's comfy with multiple choice and essay writing, but I can't be in contact with anything Doctor Who related for 3 days before the test. Otherwise, my essays get riddled with aliens and Jammy Dodgers.
Anyway, the one thing I wasn't familiar with was integrating lit facts into my writing. Now that I have practiced with them, I'm like:
BRING IT ON
 and then the AP Test is like:
you're not half as clever as you think you are
but then I yell:
Come At Me Bro
and finally the test will know that it is defeated:
quiver quiver
This will be me in class the next day:
No biggy
