 * Examples ** from text:

1) An example of Repetition comes from the story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. A summary of the example is below: "I wish they'd hurry." Mrs. Dunbar said to her oldest son. "I wish they'd hurry." Mrs. Dunbar felt the need to repeat this statement due to the fact she was anxious at the moment to get the lottery over and done with.

2) Another example of Repetition comes from the Little Red Riding Hood stories when the little girl compliments the "grandmother" with "Oh! grandmother," she said, what big ears you have!" "Oh! grandmother," she said, what big eye you have!" "Oh! but, grandmother, what a terrible big mouth you have!" Little Red Riding Hood telling "Grandma" this back to back is the whole idea of repetition.
