In the speech about child labor, Florence Kelley, United States social worker, speaks on the mistreatment of child laborers. She informs the reader of the struggles these children endure by using rhetorical devices such as repetition, imagery, and emotional appeal.
Kelley uses repetition very oftenly in her speech. She repeats key terms or phrases to get them stuck in the reader's mind for dramatic effect. She wants the reader to be reminded, constantly that the atrocity which is child labour is a problem that cannot be pushed aside. Kelley says “ Tonight while we sleep, several thousand little girls will be working in the textile mills, all night through...” and repeats the words “all night” and “tonight”. She uses the repetition as an appeal
