A rhetorical device uses words in a certain way to convey meaning or to persuade. It can also be a technique to evoke an emotion on the part of the reader or audience.

Answer:

Also known as persuasive device or stylistic device, the rhetorical device is a technique that is often used by an author or speaker to express something that is intended to change the mind of the listener or reader about the subject. This can be done by emotional display, logical reasoning, and other ways. Although it can actually evoke a strong emotional response, it isn't the goal of the rhetorical devices.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
Helga [31]

Answer:

I think it's similes.

Explanation:

You can immediately cancel out allusions (reference to well-known person, place, or event outside the story) and hyperbole (an exaggeration, not to be entirely believed) leaving simile and metaphor. Because the word "like" shows up twice at the beginning and end- the roof came down steep and black <em>like a cowl</em>, their thick-leaved, far-reaching branches shadowed it <em>like </em>a pall- we can assume the answer is simile. Hope this helps!

The structural element that is used in the excerpt by Anaya but not in the excerpt by Nye is logos, as stated in option D and further explained below.

<h3>What is logos?</h3>

Logos, also known as logical appeal or appeal to logic, is a type of rhetorical device. It is the use of logic and reasoning to convince one's audience of something. That means the writer or speaker will provide arguments in a logical order so that he or she can lead the audience to a certain conclusion.

After reading the excerpts, we can see that Anaya uses logos, but Nye does not use that structural element. With that in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.

The missing answer choices for this question are the following:

  • pathos
  • anecdote
  • tone
  • logos

Answer please, To Kill a Mockingbird (red squared question)
marta [7]

Answer:

They make up lying and mean stories about him because he is not sociable and is only seen at night.

Explanation:

Boo Radley is not a sociable or communicative person. He is a recluse due to his difficult childhood and violent father, the rare times he was seen was the night and yet he does not maintain contact or friendship with any of the citizens of the city. This causes the population to make malicious gossip about him, presenting him as someone who is evil and who kills animals and is dangerous to humans. All of these stories are lies, since Boo is a very kind man who cares about the safety of children, even if no one knows.

"To Kill a Mocking Bird" is a book about racism and intolerance presented by people admired in society who take positions that are considered "just" and "Christian," but that are malicious and dangerous.
