Literary Analysis
A persuasive speech is a speech that tries to convince listeners to think or act in a certain way. Persuasive speeches may appeal to reason or emotion or both. In order to engage the audience, speakers often include rhetorical devices, patterns of words and ideas that create emphasis and stir emotion in the audience. Common rhetorical devices include the following:
- Parallelism: repeating a grammatical structure or an arrangement of words to create a sense of rhythm and momentum
- Restatement: expressing the same idea in different words to clarify and stress key points
- Repetition: expressing different ideas using the same words or images in order to reinforce concepts and unify the speech
- Analogy: drawing a comparison that shows a similarity between unlike things
RHETORICAL DEVICES: ETHOS (CREDIBILITY), PATHOS (EMOTIONAL APPEALS), LOGOS (LOGIC)
