Answer:

Allusion.

Explanation:

Allusion is the use of figuratively referring to an image or idea, though not a direct reference to it. This technique allows an author to make a passing reference to any idea or person in his/ her attempt to try to make the readers understand more.

In his "Inaugural Address", President John Fitzgerald Kennedy used the figurative language of allusion in talking about the aims and objectives of his administration. He alludes to the verse from the Bible, to the book of Isaiah chapter 58 verse 6, where the prophet Isaiah stated

<em>"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: </em>

<em>to loose the chains of injustice </em>

<em>    and untie the cords of the yoke, </em>

<em>to set the oppressed free </em>

<em>    and break every yoke?"</em>

Alluding to this verse, President Kennedy talks of his aim to fight for the liberty of the oppressed, and lighten the burden of the people.

Read the excerpt from “Speech at American University” by John F. Kennedy.

Read the paragraph from John F. Kennedy’s “Inaugural Address.”

Let both sides unite to heed, in all corners of the earth, the command of Isaiah— to “undo the heavy burdens, and [to] let the oppressed go free.”

This paragraph is an example of allusion.

This is because the excerpt is alluding to Isaiah

Butoxors [25]

( GIVE BRAINLIEST )

The hunger games is a novel that unfolds in Panem, an apocalyptic world. The story is centered on a 16-year-old girl, Katniss Everdeen and her struggle for survival in dystopia. Each year, as a punishment for the failed rebellion by District 13, the 12 Panem Districts are forced to pay tribute to the ruthless Capitol regime. The story begins on the day of reaping at District 12. A day that each district is required to offer two tributes, a boy and a girl aged 12 to 18 years to participate in the games. This was going to be the 74th hunger games.

In a twist of fate, Prim Katniss’ 12-year-old sister is selected as one of the tributes. Having lost their father at a young age, she isn’t going to let her mother lose her too as she swore always to protect them. She volunteers to take her sister’s place, and together with the baker’s son, Peeta Mellark they represent district 12. What follows is a series of events that will put Katniss in the spotlight both as a source of hope for the oppressed and as an enemy of the Capitol. Her feelings for Peeta will be exploited for the games, which are aired across all the districts.

She will make new friends, enemies, inspire and give hope to many people in Panem thanks to her performance in the games. What makes the hunger games a more thrilling story is the games win or die rule. Will Katniss have the heart to kill Peeta and vice versa, or will they both survive? This is the Hunger Games summary of the plot.
