questions 8

Rhetorical devices are usually used in persuasive writing , essays , and even speeches . Whether it is in writing or not , the overall conversation must include the use of rhetorical devices . Rhetorical strategies are significant as they ensure a bold point is made , enhance comparisons and ensure that the audience connects with the things that are being communicated ( Nakayama and Krizek 302 ) . Some of the rhetorical choices that I made while revising my essays were similes , amplification , euphemism , and hypophora . Similes are the rhetorical devices that bring a sense of comparison between two similar subjects . The use of similes in my essays various approaches to my conversation that every reader or audience can understand . Amplifications are used to build on a sentence , word , or phrase . They emphasize evoking the sense of urgency in an essay as well as the intensity in the listener or the reader . For instance , the author might use the repetition of a certain word to show its importance . Euphemism is one of the rhetorical choices I made that uses a pleasant saying or phrase to explain a less pleasant one . Hypophora is a rhetorical device that is mostly used when a writer wants to ask a question and then answer it . This is the opposite of a rhetorical question whereby the reader does not want to waste time posing a question without an answer .
