why do authors use rhetorical devices in essays?
a. to simplify the meaning of the main idea
b. to increase the credibility of the essay
c. to evoke a personal response from readers
d. to show their skill as diverse writers
e. to compare two or more essays about the same topic
I pick C but I don't really understand how it personalizes the response. This is the only answer that makes any sense
Thank-you
the answer would be C
Yes, C.
We tend to relate to and remember similes, metaphors, alliteration, and so on. Think about some of the common figures of speech -- good as gold, hot as Hades, Peter Piper picked . . .
If you had to pick another what would it be??
b. to increase the credibility of the essay. AND
c. to evoke a personal response from readers.
