The rain how it fell; the cadaver smell
My eyes transfixed on that pit of Hell, 
Vapid flesh foul, horrendously bland.
But why this carnage, I don’t understand; 

Retching, gagging, holding back the bile.
I turn from the evil to rest for a while, 
From decomposing mothers, fathers and child; 
Satan’s work, merciless, callously wild.

Laid out in graves grotesquely remorse, 
Lucifer’s carnage has taken its course
In a dance of death, contorted and thin, 
Thousands of bodies, bound together by skin.

Now sixty years passed, will I ever forget.
That day when in person, with Satan I met; 
He showed me firsthand his evil, his sin.
Flames of contempt still burn deep within.

Wise men instruct us ‘we must never, forget’, 
Upon the memory of them, ‘let the sun never set’; 
For six million Jews paid the ultimate cost, 
I know, I was there, at the great Holocaust.
Holocaust - Poem by Alf Hutchison

What technique makes both excerpts effective? the use of repetition an appeal to logic an appeal to credibility the use of image

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The use of repetition.

Explanation:

Repetition is elucidated as the literary device in which the author involves repetition of certain words or phrases in order to emphasize or highlight a particular significant idea and make it more clear, effective, and noteworthy for the readers.

In the given two excerpts from "The American Dream” speech by Martin Luther King Jr. and 'Governor George Wallace's inaugural address, the 'repetition' has been used as a technique to highlight the key ideas efficiently. In the first excerpt, the repetition of the word 'dream' emphasizes King's idea of 'dream view of America where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers.' In the second excerpt, the repetition of the word 'political' and 'race' throws light upon Wallace's idea of ' respecting the rights of others to be separate and work from within their political framework.'
