Identify the rhetorical device(s) used in the following examples. Then, identify the specific words/phrases in the excerpt that demonstrate those rhetorical devices.In her “Address to Congress On Woman’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt said:“Eighty years after the Revolution, Abraham Lincoln welded those two maxims?into a new one:? ‘Ours is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ Fifty years more passed and the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, in a mighty crisis of the nation, proclaimed to the world: ‘We are fighting for the things which we have always carried nearest to our hearts:?for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government.’Rhetorical Device(s): ___________________________________________________________________________________How do you know: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________In his “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech, Patrick Henry said:“Let us not deceive ourselves, sir.?These are the implements of war and subjugation, the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission?...?They are meant for us:?they can be meant for no other.?They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging.”Rhetorical Device(s): ___________________________________________________________________________________How do you know: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________In his “Race To The Moon” speech, John F. Kennedy said:“To be sure, all this costs us all a good deal of money. This year’s space budget is three times what it was in January 1961, and it is greater than the space budget of the previous eight years combined. That budget now stands at $5.4 million a year--a staggering sum, though somewhat less than we pay for cigarettes and cigars every year. Space expenditures will soon rise some more, from 40 cents per person per week to more than 50 cents a week for every man, woman and child in the United Stated, for we have given this program a high national priority--even though I realize that this is in some measure an act of faith and vision, for we do not now know what benefits await us.” Rhetorical Device(s): ___________________________________________________________________________________How do you know: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Part II: Fact vs. Opinion.
