In John F. Kennedy’s “We Choose to go to the Moon”, there are multiple examples of rhetorical devices throughout the speech. These devices include anaphora, metonymy, and parallelism. When Kennedy says, “no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space”, he is used parallelism to emphasize that space is just as dangerous as anything else, but it is our choice to go. Almost everyone supported this risk taking idea, but the way in how he delivered his words was what gained his support from the audience. He then continues with, “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do other things”, which is an example of anaphora, to back up his point of why we are going to the moon
