Sound devices in “The Raven” are so numerous that I will use only a few. Throughout the poem, Poe uses alliteration and repeats the “o” sound as to emphasize the pain and grief this man feels when he awakes from his slumber. Poe also uses alliteration to describe the raven as an “…ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore” to incorporate a sense of irony in the man continuing to listen to such a bird he finds utterly…

his ascension. His is more effective since he appeals to the Romans emotionally then logically and direct. Also Antony is justifying Caesars death rather then proving himself that he’s an honorable man. Marc Antony uses repetition synecdoches, alliteration, and an ethos appeal to seek revenge on conspirators in his speech. People say that Brutus’ speech is more effective but I disagree. Marc Antony does not overestimate his audience. He speaks to the crowd, rather…

Rhetorical Analysis of Lincoln and Kennedy Speeches Political speeches have produced some of the most organized, articulated, and aesthetic language throughout history. In their first and second inaugural addresses respectively, John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln presented to the country a beautiful collection of lines, many of them still remembered to this day. These artfully written speeches were not written in such style on accident, as the mastery of syntax, diction, and trope are used to…

the need for individuals, most importantly women, to stand up against the fate chosen for them by society and to fight to forge and discover their own path to take in the ever winding road of life.

equally as destructive and depriving. The alliteration in “the ballot or the bullet” amplifies the similarities between the two objects (arguably, the two weapons) which Malcolm X built the speech around; the ballot is taking the fight from internal anger to external action as is the bullet, but one is taking it to contention in politics, and the other is taking it to warfare in the streets. Though superficially different, as demonstrated by the alliteration between the two they both, in fact,…

hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin’. Alliteration is used in the line, ‘watch the white eyes writhing in his face’ and displays a soldier’s eyes ‘writhing’ as if his eyes are expressing what he is feeling like, which would be agony and fear. The ‘whiteness’ of his eyes conveys horror and emphasizes his anguish towards war. He is suffering in pain and at this point, Owen presents war as a terrifying and haunting experience. This is a convincing alliteration to indirectly give the feeling of…

How does Clarke create such a vivid impression of the bull in 'Friesian Bull'? In ‘Friesian Bull’, Clarke uses alliteration, description of the bull’s body and vocabulary of rage and insanity to create a vivid impression of the bull. Throughout the poem, Clarke makes use of alliteration to create a vivid impression of the bull. Clarke uses sibilance multiple times: she mentions the ‘steel bars between [the heifer’s] trap and [the bull’s] small yard’ in the first stanza, and she describes…

this rhetorical analysis will solely focus on Perry’s traumatic childhood. To share an outsider’s point of view of the situation, Capote uses simile, alliteration, and theme to influence the reader to sympathize with Perry, rather than to condemn him. The rhetorical strategies Capote uses to create sympathy towards Perry are simile and alliteration. Growing up, Perry’s parents abused, neglected and abandoned him. As the reader gains a better understanding of Perry Smith’s character, she begins…

plea’s desperation and his innocence. The first stanza depicts the imagination of the child, and childish horrors like a “bloodsucking bat.” This shows the reader that the child is scared, even before its birth (alliteration of ‘b’ is used in the phrase for emphasis). The harsh alliteration of ‘d’ in “drugs dope,” combined with the internal repetition of “tall walls” and “black racks rack,” generates a feeling of claustrophobia and oppression, indicating the hopeless task of escaping the…
