Answer:

The topic of the discussion is the general idea that it is focused around.
The audience is who it is aimed at, think about gender, age, race and social class. You can normally determine this by the topic and the language used.
The purpose is the reason for the discussion, is it to inform, persuade or advise.
Level of formality is basically how relaxed or polite it is, very formal would be something like a business proposal and very informal is like just talking to your best mate.

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line: "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

In at least 150 words, explain the tone of the address before the Virginia Congress. Use evidence from the speech to support you

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Patrick Henry’s “Speech to the Virginia Convention” was so effectively crafted that it ultimately led to the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Though powerful words, pathos, and logos, Henry’s speech was able to instill a vehement, earnest, seductive tone in his audience.

Henry’s speech can easily be classified as earnest because he truly believes the messages he preaches. He fears for the prosperity of his home country as England slowly begins to take control of the American colonies. Henry’s trepidations are what sculpt the earnest fear he has for his country. His feelings are alarming yet at the same time consoling to the citizens. It is important that the people understand the desperate circumstances their country is in, but when stating his concern, he comforts his audience by offering solutions to the dilemma: “We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable […] If we wish to be free […] we must fight!” (“Speech to the Virginia Convention” 82).

Patrick Henry also conveys a seductive tone by posing rhetorical questions which make the listeners think about what they truly want for their future. His speech is so well worded that he is able to draw the audience in closer and closer with each word he speaks. His seductive tone is critical to the success of his speech because without it, the listeners would be emotionally detached from his argument. Henry entices his audience by proclaiming, “For my own part I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery […] It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country” (81).

Although Henry’s speech could be classified as having an earnest, seductive tone, the dominant tone would be best described as vehement. No matter what Henry says, he always proclaims everything with great emphasis and passion. Henry’s tone is evident when he asks the audience, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! […] give me liberty or give me death!” (83). When proclaiming those words, it is possible to visualize Henry standing before a crowd screaming for freedom though war. The success of Patrick Henry’s speech is mainly due to the enticing, enthusiastic tone that was conveyed to his listeners.

what is the speaker trying to do in this poem and how is it achieved?discus specific instances in the poem to support your answe

Makovka662 [10]

The poem being identified here is : to the doctor who treated the raped baby and who felt such despair

It is raising a note and upholding a certain emotion of disgust to the doctor's behavior. This is achieved by the speaker's tone, use of words and the ethos. Moreover, ethos speaks of the character's credibility or the persuader's credibility of what he or she is asserting and positing, is it strong and bold or just a mere existent elaboration. Thus follows the characteristics on tone, logos and pathos. Ethos is one key to trusting since it presents one's consistency and as a reliable speaker.
