Sorry, this is so late. Anacoluthon- A sudden break in a sentence's grammatical structure. Example- “So, then I pulled up to her house — are you still with me here?”
As an aside, Gertrude Stein and James Joyce were noted for the use of anacoluthon in their writing. (Stein is the one who said "There is no there there," which may or may not have been an anacoluthon-like aside.) Joyce used it throughout Ulysses and extensively in the Molly Bloom monologue. (So if you encounter either one of these writers on the AP test, look for this rhetorical device!
"I will have such revenges on you both, That all the world shall--I will do such things, What they are, yet I know not." -William Shakespeare, King Lear
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— And cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings." -Lewis Carroll
"Had ye been there — for what could that have done?"
