A rhetorical device is a use of language that is intended to have an effect on its audience. Repetition, figurative language, and even rhetorical questions are all examples of rhetorical devices. This is the definition of rhetorical language and i hope this helps.
A soldier nicknamed Picayune Butler engaged in a conversation with Eliza Donner about the Donner Party. He spoke and repeated the words he read in the story of the California Star, that it was a party that is responsible for the misfortunes. If it had a price, the starvation brought by the miserable wretches were not worth the cost to save them.
I’ll charge a small price but that will be all.
