Rhetorical Analysis Of Anaphora By Crevecoeur

231 Words1 Page

Crevecoeur utilizes syntactic devices of anaphora, rhetorical questions, and finally hypophora in order to convey his zeal of the American dream to convince penurious Europeans to move to the US.

By doing so, he entices his audience, the impoverished Europeans, with ideas of social mobility. He tells about how people should not be confined to an unfair social hierarchy and controlled under the aristocracy. By focusing on how there is no large class difference in America, he implicitly reveals the faults in the European governments’ systems. Crevecoeur also asks rhetorical questions to really have the audience contemplate the

  • Anaphoras Smith's Speech Rhetorical Analysis

    879 Words  | 4 Pages

    Often in Smith’s speech she manifests simple anaphoras on the sentence level to portray her personal opinion. The three different anaphoras Smith establishes to shed light on her dispositions, are “I think that it is high time,”, “I am not proud,” and “I condemn”. Each of these sets Smith up to display her discontent with the Senate and how she hopes for a more dignified regime in the future. Smith’s anaphora in the beginning of her speech, “I think that it is high time,” implements exaggeration of her vexation towards the issues within the Senate that have been present for far too long. When she places the “high” in front of “time” it forms a new meaning to her repetition.
