Identify the persuasive and rhetorical techniques in this passage: "Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some diff

icult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you.

Answer:

Rhetorical device: Allusion.

Persuasive device: Pathos, Ethos.

This comparison establishes the author's character and persuades the audience ethically.

Noting that robotics is one of her specialties, Chloe describes how, almost immediately after arriving, Donovan accidentally breaks off part of the robot currently under construction, and just as immediately, starts a debate about what name the robot should be given, a conversation ridiculed by the controlling Abigail, who also tells Chloe that she went to elementary school with Donovan and thought he was pretty much just “normal”.
