Rhetorical Analysis On Port Jackson

Good Morning students and Mr Morrow and thank you for listening today. Port Jackson is all about “Opera, Aussie and Oarsome,” Straight away we have ‘A group of 3’ and ‘Play on Words.’ Group of 3 is a simple piece of persuasive language that is applied because humans like to use patterns and process ideas in patterns. However when the group of 3 is used the technique needs to be kept within reason because a group of 5 or 6+ gets really tedious and uninteresting after a while. Word Play is a literary device that is primarily used for amusement purposes only as it doesn’t have a persuasive effect like modality or rhetorical question.

Ellipsis can be used at the end of a sentence of course but this would also be quite confusing for the reader. However this does mean that the door is open for a part two of a book of at the end of a script for a movie, this is why this is such an effective technique…
