Answer:

Figurative language

Explanation:

Figurative language is a language that uses words that deviate from their literal meaning to represent something and give readers new insights. Simile, metaphor, hyperbole, and personification are types of this language:

  • Similes use comparisons to describe an event, someone, a place, etc., while using the words "as" and "like. For example "My grandmother sings like an angel."
  • Metaphors also use comparison, but without the words "like" nor "as". This figure of speech directly asserts that one element is similar or equal to another element. For example, "She is a summer breeze."
  • Hyperbole is a way of speaking or writing in an exaggerated manner used to emphasize, to add humor or to gain attention on something. It is common to use words or phrases that are obviously false, for example He saw and stretches out a colossal hand to reach the flower.
  • Personification is used when a thing, idea, abstract quality, nature, emotion or event is given human characteristics. For example, "The wind hugged me".

to emphasize citizens’ responsibilities

to stir listeners’ emotions

to cite important legal documents

to offer hope for the future

to recommend a military surrender

Answer:

Lincoln concludes with an appeal to both pathos and ethos to:

to emphasize citizens’ responsibilities

to stir listeners’ emotion

to offer hope for the future

Explanation:

<u>As we know, pathos is an appeal to emotion, while ethos is an appeal to ethics. Both are rhetorical devices used by speakers to convince their audiences of an idea. In this case, Lincoln's purpose was to appeal to people's sense of duty as well as their empathy</u>. He wants his audience to remember they still have <u>responsibilities</u> ahead of them, important ones. <u>They are to care for the families of fallen soldiers, and they must also keep on fighting to make sure those soldiers' deaths were not in vain. </u>He also wants him audience to remain <u>hopeful </u>about the future, evoking the <u>image of a lasting peace, which is the most desired thing in times of war.</u>
