Kennedy uses repetition to emphasize change on the horizon for people who are struggling.
<u>Explanation:</u>
John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address is replete with rhetorical techniques.
The repeated structures or phrases have a deeper impact on the mind than a straightforward language. The use of repetition can be observed in paragraphs in :
“To those old allies whose spiritual and cultural origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends”
“To those people in the huts in villages of half the globe struggling to break bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required”
“To those new states whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny”
Also, ‘not because ….., not because….. in the same line emphasizes the idea.
