Answer 1

Answer: hi

It is effective in that the rhetorical devices emphasise the message the author is trying to send:

- hypophora

the exclamation and tone that the message sends forth

Parallelism -

repeated use of a grammatical structure in a sentence

"Give me liberty or give me death!" or "We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne." or "Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded"

repetition -

repeating words or phrases for emphasis

"The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come."

"We must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight!"

Hoped I helped!
