Apostrophe Oh pristine walls, tell me the secrets that lay beyond you."

Antiphrasis The dry lake bed was saturated.

Aphorism The path of least resistance is the road to poverty.

Antagonist “When I crested the hill, I saw the great marsh that stood between me and home."

Archetype While the redwood if the mightiest giant, the oak is the pillar we build on.
