What rhetorical features stood out most to you in the excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address? How does Kenne
lara31 [8.8K]

John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address contains many rhetorical features.  Parallel structure is a technique which entail a repetition of some words or pattern of words. This stylistic device not only offers a more pleasant speech but also makes the speech easy to understand and get the main idea.  

Example:” "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall <u>pay any price</u>, <u>bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty</u>.” In this particular excerpt, there is the repetition of grammatical structure: Verb + any+ object.

In his speech, there are other rhetorical devices. In the following example it is possible to recognize the use of Metaphor and Alliteration. Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to describe someone, something or an idea using certain words whose meaning must not be taken literally. It helps to deliver a message in a clear and convincing manner. Alliteration enhances greatly the amusement of the speech as it consists of a lively repetition of the initial sound of words in a passage and It helps to convey meaning in a creative, effective and appealing manner. Besides, it provides rhythm to the text .

Example: “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t<u>he torch has been passed</u> to a new generation of Americans, born in this century,”  

This sentence gives the idea that a new era and a new movement towards a better future in America (metaphor) and  there is the repetition of the "f" sound (alliteration)
