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.

Not everyone is capable of fulfilling the roles of the elders. Explain this statement.
Vilka [71]

Answer:  The roles of the elders often involve responsibilities that require specialized knowledge, skills or the wisdom that is acquired with experience. Sometimes the elder can mentor a younger person to assume the responsibility. But a younger person may not have the interest, the aptitude, or willingness to learn. Elders often have leadership roles in a community which will require them to listen, communicate, settle disputes, or offer guidance to solve problems. They must be able to earn the respect of the community.

People have different intelligence, talents and interests. Some are capable and willing to fulfill roles as teachers, healers, protectors and leaders. Others should just be content to follow, contribute as they are able, and respect their elders.

I have to write my own modern version of romeo and juliet. give me ideas plz
ololo11 [35]
Firstly, Juliet talks about fear very descriptively using a figure of speech called imagery. "..that almost freezes me to death..." is describing how much she fears about the dreaded events that are going to occur. Another example of describing fear is "A feeling of faint, cold fear pierces my veins..." is a sentence of how she is feeling the fear.

Secondly, she also talks about death, if she was tricked about the potion. "What if it's a poison that the Friar has cleverly given me to kill me..." is talking about the fear she is facing and also about concerns and curiosity of the sleeping potion if it is a poison to kill her. Another example is the sentences "...die strangled in my death..." is about the ways of dying. She also takes out a knife just in case the plan doesn't work and where she would kill herself because she would have to marry Paris instead of Romeo.

Lastly, Juliet describes the most in behaviors of hellish or evil acts or thoughts which comes to mind when she is thinking about the upcoming plan. "...at certain hours in the night, ghosts walk..." is talking about the death of Tybalt and about what happens when death comes. "...with the loathsome smells and shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the ground, which make living beings go mad when they hear them..." is a short paragraph like sentence which is describing horrors of evil thoughts that she will be facing if she fails this plan. It is also describing relatively similar to the images of hell.

In conclusion, Juliet's speech in line 15-60 of scene three of Romeo and Juliet describes many different subjects by type of figure of speech named imagery.
