How does Thoreau’s use of rhetorical questions contribute to the persuasiveness and message in “Excerpt from ‘Civil Disobedience

?’”
English
1 answer:
ella [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Thoreau's usage of several rhetorical questions upon one another helps eloquently establish a rhythm to present similar, but different argumentative key points. Moreover, it gives a rhythm to the text right off the start. Ultimately, it enables him to set up his argument against morals and values that he claims are being controlled by the government, and as well setting an argument for individualism.

Explanation:

The author does not make many direct statements; however, he does use the device of rhetorical questions that are meant to not be answered by neither the reader nor the text.
