Analyze how the author uses the rhetorical devices of parallelism and diction to
beks73 [17]

The author has used rhetorical devices like parallelism to emphasize the miserable and hopeless condition of the migrants who were despised and hated but had no option but to swarm the town to fight hunger and survive.

<u>Explanation :</u>

The chapter talks about the agrarians who were ruined by industrialization. Industries and technology pushed them on the roads. They moved in search of food and to give their families a meal to survive.  

Parallelism has been employed at places to underline the misery, the dejection and distress.

For instance, in one of the paragraphs, just to stress on the simplicity of the agrarian folks before they were brought near to doom: ‘a simple agrarian folk who had not changed …….. who had not farmed. They had not grown up….’  

This repetition of phrases and clauses is parallelism.  The chapter is replete with such examples.  It lends it unity and realism and appeals to emotions.

Timed Writing: Rhetorical Analysis
m_a_m_a [10]

In “America Needs Its Nerds,” by L. Fridman, addresses an issue that still exists in today's society: that students perceived as intelligent are ridiculed. In his exhortation Leonid argued that the curious and smart scholars need not to be ashamed of their intellect, and that society needs to change their attitude towards these types of people because it comes off as pessimistic. The writer combats these views with rhetoric, parallelism, and strategic diction. Early in the writing, the author writes “intellectually curious and academically serious,” which is a use of parallelism since the words are similar in its pronunciation and grammatically overall. He uses this rhetoric again in lines 20 thru 23, as he examines the stereotyping students face and are forced into, for being serious about their academics. He Mr. Firdman uses dition throughout his essay to more than likely suggest that he is or has been considered a nerd as well. His very descriptive word structure is evident throughout, with lines 20 thru 32 containing connotations and imagery to evoke pathos in the audience with words such as ‘grave’ and ‘haunt’.
