Antithesis is a rhetorical device in which two opposing concepts are presented side by side in order to show that one is clearly better. It is not about how writers and speakers use language to persuade people or the use of language as an appeal to authority and credibility. Starting several sentences or paragraphs with the same word or phrase is not antithesis, but rather a different technique known as anaphora.
