Use this link to read “The Gettysburg Address” and share with me at least one example of each rhetorical device we learned today
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Logos: ..."we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."

Here Lincoln appeals to his listener's sense of logic: it would not make sense that so many people should have died for no reason. Therefore, it is important that the fight continue.

Pathos: "The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract."

Here Lincoln appeals to his listeners' emotions (hearts), by telling them that the field was consecrated by the blood of the soldiers who fought there.

Ethos: "Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

Here Lincoln establishes his credibility by demonstrating his great knowledge of American history and the founding documents of this country.

Hamlet has his moment and kills Polonius, believing it to be Claudius. This is his act of revenge, for all purposes, and now he
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: Hamlet finally made a decision and acted on it, which he had not been able to do up to this point.

Hamlet's tragic flaw is his indecisiveness. Throughout the play, we see that Hamlet is struggling to come to terms with the decisions he has to make, particularly, deciding whether to avenge his father's death or not. This excerpt is a turning point for Hamlet, as he finally decides to attack the person he believes to be Claudius. He is mistaken, however, and ends up killing Polonius. Nevertheless, it is the first moment in which Hamlet has made a choice and acted on it, and therefore a significant event in the development of the character.

Explain how the request of Claudius and Gertrude upon Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is similar to the mission given to Reynaldo b
Vesna [10]

Both of these requests are similar in the sense that they both involve parents asking others to monitor their children and be attentive to what they are doing. Polonius wants someone to watch over Ophelia, while Claudius and Gertrude want Rosencratz and Guildenstern to watch over Hamlet. Shakespeare wants to show how, even though both of these are requests of parents who want their child watched, the intention and consequences in each case are very different.
