Question

Explain the rhetorical strategies used in the following line: “There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water.”

Answer 1

Well, I can see repetition "a path" is repeated and "beaten hard" is also repeated.

I also see alliteration "through the"

Perhaps there are others but I can't see anymore right now, sorry!
