When Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, which banned slavery in the USA.
Answer:
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it, but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for the doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup, and a few verbs like sit, stand, and walk. But my teacher had been with me for several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

Explanation:
Simile because it is saying something that doesn’t actually happen
Answer:
Well there are 3 most common rhetorical devices
Those of which would be
Ethos: Well this is usually in the form of credibility and shows how reliable a source can be when using this device. Like for example if your gonna quote an article form “George Washington”, its gonna be more eye appealing to others due to him being one of the most famous genrals in US/ history and being the first president and all.
Pathos: This is when your usually combining a feeling and making the reader feel something like for example portating guilt or Sadness could be a useful tool.
Logos: This is just straight up facts, you support your evedine with reliable #1 and Jsut back it up with a ton of facts but don’t use too much or it would just be boring.
Well theres some pathos in this but I would say mainly ethos becuase it shows uncle sam, one of the most common faces in american cartoons and propaganda. It shows a lot of credibility.
