The rhetorical device used by Twain in this excerpt is the anecdote (C.).
<u>An anecdote is defined as an entertaining narrative, usually relating biographical events</u>.
This definition fits to the text because the story is an account of events which happened to the character in the past ("One winter's night, two years ago, I...") and the narrative is comical enough to be considered for entertainement value ("I was carrying off a box of guns ... and he had got my corpse!").
The change in the description of the house occurs because Abigail realizes that the house has the potential to be the way she wants it and that makes her happy.
From the reading of "Letter to Her Daughter from the New White House," we can conclude that:
- The letter is an account by Abigail Adams about the White House.
- She shows all the characteristics of the house, being very descriptive and absorbs everything, especially the negative points that the house presents.
- Abigail is very observant of these negative points, which makes the reader think that she is hating the place.
- But actually, she is very happy, because the letter shows that she is delighted to look at the house. After all, she knows that with a good renovation, the house will be the way she wants.
In addition, Abigail recognizes the importance of the house and what it stands for, so she doesn't mind having to "fix" some defects.

Answer by YourHope:
Hi! :)
The the commercial you watch on the apple web site, the cheerleaders yell "mac is number one". This is NOT an example of the name calling propaganda technique!
Propaganda are advertisements that promote a product or service. An example would be an ad that promotes one brand of toothpaste over another.
Hope this helps~
