The answers are the following:
1. <span>We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other
things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will
serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is
one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend
to win, and the others, too.
(President John F. Kennedy, "The Decision to go to the Moon")
-repetition

2.</span><span>"Cuss the doctor! What do we k'yer for him? Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side?
And ain't that a big enough majority in any town?" 
(Mark Twain, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn)
-satire

3. </span><span>Must I argue the wrongfulness of slavery? Is that a question for republicans? Is it to be settled
by the rules of logic and argumentation, as a matter beset with great difficulty, involving a
doubtful application of the principle of justice, hard to understand?
(Frederick Douglass, "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?")
-rhetorical questions
