Answer:
The Rhetorical device used in the example is Pathos.
Explanation:
Rhetorical Device is simply a literary tool which helps us to understand the structure and writing style of any particular sentence.
‘The Glass Castle’ is a book by Jeannette Walls where she describes her own life story of poverty. The line, Years from now when all the junk they got is broken and long forgotten,’ Dad said, ‘you’ll still have your stars’ is an example of Pathos rhetorical device. The appeal of this device is based on emotion.
The line depicts how her father provides an justification for not having any Christmas present for his children. There’s a deeply felt emotion in this line. The helplessness of a father and a sadness of his kids.
In chapter 7 Ender begins to feel homesick because he is worried about having friends that are girls will ruin his street cred. He also misses his parents and friends.
No no, I'm not joking that is the result I got from googling it and from reading it myself a year back.
