How does Churchill use rhetoric to advance his purpose in this section of "The Sinews of Peace"?

V125BC [204]

Churchill uses rhetoric to advance his purpose by doing what's outlined in letter D: Churchill uses a metaphor that compares the newly formed United Nations to a temple, thereby strengthening his argument that the UN's mission to secure peace and maintain freedom is a moral and ethical one that must be supported.

Churchill uses a metaphor, since he doesn't make direct comparisons. He says: "We must make sure...that it is a true temple of peace in which the shields of many nations can some day be hung up..." He doesn't say: "that it is like a true temple of peace" Had he put it that way it would have been a direct comparison, and not a metaphor.

Churchill strengthens his argument that the UN's mission to secure peace and maintain freedom is a moral and ethical one that must be supported by using the metaphor above, and he makes it even stronger by using and contrasting different, opposing metaphors in addition to the one commented on in the paragraph above: "that it is a force for action, and not merely a frothing of words, that it is a true temple of peace in which the shields of many nations can some day be hung up, and not merely a cockpit in the Tower of Babel."

Which line in this excerpt from Walt Whitman's O captain ! Reflects the theme of patriotism that dominates the poem

weeeeeb [17]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Which line in this excerpt from Walt Whitman's "O Captain! My Captain!" reflects the theme of patriotism that dominates the poem?

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;

Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,

For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,

For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;

Here Captain! dear father!

This arm beneath your head!

It is some dream that on the deck,

You’ve fallen cold and dead.

Answer:

Here Captain! dear Father!

Explanation:

"Captain! My Captain!" written by Walt Whitman is a poem written to depict President Lincoln's dead and how it affected America in a sentimental and profound way.

The poem shows not only the poet's regard for the president, but the patriotism and respect for the leadership that Linclon represented. This can be seen, especially when the poet refers to the president as captain and dear father, recognizing his importance for the growth and development of the country.
