The rhetorical device that was used by Justice Harlan in the sentence provided is;

  • B. Alliteration

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same or similar sounding letters in a group of closely linked words. The initial consonant sounds are stressed in the usage of this device.

In the excerpt provided, we find here, the repetition of the consonant sound, 's'. This can be found in words such as; knows, statute, question, purpose, so, persons, etc.

The repetition of the 's' sound adds rhythm and emphasis to the speech.

Read "No Compromise With Evil Of Slavery".
Daniel [21]

After reading the excerpt from "No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery," we can say that what Garrison means is:

D. If Americans refuse to uphold the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, they might as well burn it.

<h3>What is Garrison saying in the excerpt?</h3>
  • William Lloyd Garrison (1805-1879) was a journalist and abolitionist. In "No Compromise With the Evil of Slavery," he argues that no man should be allowed to make another man his slave. That is the same as stealing a life.
  • In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Garrison says that the Declaration of independence will be worth nothing if slavery is still allowed. When he says they may throw the declaration into "consuming fire," he means the document should be burned if it is not respected.

1. How is love defined in our culture and how is it defined in other cultures?
muminat
1. Culture is a major factor that transforms passionate love into romantic love. Cultural values and traditional behaviors influence the expressions and experiences of love and transfer passionate love as primarily based on a sexual attraction into romantic love as an idealized and culturally affected way of loving.

2. The truth is, you probably do. Every single person in the world understands love and expresses it in a different way. You might have trouble understanding each other because you express love differently. This doesn't mean that one of you loves the other any more or less.
