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)

Answer:

Your answer may include the following points:

Kennedy uses alliteration throughout his speech. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sounds or similar sounds. Alliteration helps the audience remember a message better. Some examples of alliteration include the following: “same solemn oath,” “bear the burden,” and “standards of strength and sacrifice.”

Kennedy uses antithesis to bring out an idea more clearly. Antithesis is the use of two contrasting elements or ideas in the same sentence. Here are some examples of antithesis in his speech: “United there is little we cannot do… Divided there is little we can do” and “I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it.”

Kennedy uses imagery (vivid and descriptive language). These phrases are examples of imagery in his speech: “the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans” and “those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.”

Kennedy connects with his audience by making eye contact with his listeners as well as by using his hands to emphasize certain points.

Which of the following are correct ways of providing evidence to support the thesis of a research paper?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

I take it that I can choose multiple options here:)

Let's look at all the options:

Use direct quotations from experts on the topic.

-yes! this is a good idea. Experts are reliable and quoting them will support your thesis.

Link relevant portions of your paper to blog sites on the same topic.

-no, I don't think so: unless the blog sites are by experts, they don't have to be reliable.

Discuss the topic with your classmates and include their opinions.

-in general, no, since your classmates are not experts on the topic. Except when they are: if, for example your research paper researches social interaction between them

.Obtain more information on the topic from published sources

-yes, a very good idea!

Include paraphrased text from authoritative sources.

-yes, a very good idea! These sources could be for example experts in the field!
