Question

In about 150 words write a speech about something you strongly believe in, using at least three rhetorical devices. You’re attempting to make people agree with you by means of your words underlined the sentences that contain them rhetorical device in list the devices used at the end of your paragraph

Answer 1

alliteration is the repetition of sounds in a sequence of words used for emphasis, such as "bad boy."  Alliteration generally refers to repeated consonant sounds or those at the beginning of stressed syllables, but has also been used by some critics to refer to repeated vowel sounds. In “Harlem,” Langston Hughes uses imperfect alliteration in his first line: “What happens to a dream deferred?”  In using alliteration within the first line, Hughes is really drawing attention to the importance of those two words. One reason Hughes may have wanted to emphasize that phrase is because it is the first (and last) time the literal topic of the poem is mentioned, so it helps it to stick in your head; additionally, the alliteration highlights the topic of the poem--everything else in the poem is figurative language being compared to this "dream deferred." To write about alliteration, you would need to look at the words and try to figure out why the author would want to emphasize those specific words.  In addition, you need to make sure you are connecting the significance of the words and phrases to the theme of your paper.

Answer 2

"The world we live in is ending." phrase that without a doubt, young people have heard since we were little. It is our daily conversation, what the influencers say and the memes that are send by social networks. We are fully aware of the problem. But are we really paying attention to the situation? Do we really care?

We are the generation of ecological straws, cloth bags, bamboo brushes and organic food, but what good is it if the water keeps running, the streets are draining  garbage and the sky remains gray? The reality is that the changes are being like covering the sun with a finger to make us feel a little less guilty of what we have done coming from murderers of the planet.

Our future is in our hands, stop pretending that you do it and start with a real change. Start and inspire. Only one person cannot save our home.
