Other tropes and figures of speech (you should understand the difference between a trope and a figure of speech, see book by V.Y. Zadornova - tropes which are based on the 'transfer' of meaning, when a word (or a combination of words) is used to denote an object which is not normally correlated with this word, and figures of speech whose stylistic effect is achieved due to the unusual arrangement of linguistic units, unusual construction or extension of utterance.)
-
If it is possible, enumerate different layers of tropes and figures of speech: phonetic (alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia,), lexical (various repetitions – anaphora, anadiplosis, epistrophe, symploce, epizeuxis, antonomasia, synecdoche etc.), syntactic (anastrophe, anticlimax, antithesis, bathos, climax, zeugma etc.)

Анализ это объяснение замысла автора и средств, которые он использовал (она использовала) и результата, который получился.
Не перечисляйте просто тропы и фигуры речи, даже с примерами. Нельзя говорить: там еще есть эпитеты и метафоры… Я нашла еще и анафору и т.д.
Если упомянули тропы, объясните, зачем они использованы, какой эффект создают, почему автор использовал именно их. Докажите на примерах, что эти средства создают такой эффект.
Речь должна быть красивой, по возможности, сложной. Необходимо разнообразить предложения; используйте разные конструкции, синонимы. Рассуждайте, приводите примеры, аргументы, в таком случае, часто приходит спонтанная мысль, которая бывает интересной и глубокой.
Анализ – дело субъективное, выражения: I think, to my mind, in my opinion, I believe, I feel, it seems to me, it seems to be … etc. будут очень кстати.
Можно сделать так: разделить все найденные в тексте тропы на фонетические, лексические, синтаксические и разбирать их по очереди.
Лучше сделать так: Выбрать самые важные из использованных тропов и сказать, к какой категории они относятся – лексические они или фонетические или синтаксические. И для чего они использованы. Чего автор с их помощью достигает.
Необходимо понимать разницу между юмором и иронией. (touch of irony).

Alliteration
Assonance
Anadiplosis – catch repetition
Anaphora – the beginning
Epistrophe – the ending is repeated.
Epizeuxis – immediate repetititon of a word for the sake of emphasis
Alone, alone, all, all alone
Alone on a wide, wide sea.
