One of the rhetorical techniques that Jefferson uses in the Declaration of Independence is repetition. This is used to great effect in the body of the document, as he is listing the grievances that the colonists hold against the King. After starting the declaration with a logical account of the colonists’ need to establish independence, Jefferson then delineates all of the reasons that King George has given them to revolt. He gives 27different transgressions that King George has committed, all beginning with the words “He has” or “For.” The first one, for example, is

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

The effect of repetition in this section of the document is to emphasize how unfairly the British have treated the colonies. Putting all the grievances together in this fashion, with the repeated introductory word(s) gives the impression that the list just goes “on and on.”

For the quote “Where there is love there is life” list a main interpretation and 3 selections(reasons) following it.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

This can honestly mean a lot of things.

Some people feel that their main point in life is to do what they love. (Career, hobby, etc) Other's are still here and happy because of a person that they love. For some, it's the person they love that is the reason they want to be alive. You can't have life without love, because with no love means no happiness and no will to live. Even the people who are genuinely struggling and want to die still have something blocking them from causing any harm. Think about it, love is the main purpose. It's behind almost every story. In the Hunger Games, Katniss risked her life and purpose for her little sister Prim. I think love is the main purpose for the reason that humans are still on this earth today. "Where there is love, there is life," is 100% accurate, and learned from observing or experience.

In the above excerpt, the answers which the boy gets from his Aunt and the way he deals with those answers are an example of situational irony.
