Document Summary
Rhetorical question a question asked for effect, but not necessarily needing to be answered. Hyperbole trying to impress or influence by overstating a viewpoint, statement or idea. Example: millions of students all over the world go home and rush eagerly into their homework in order to secure their future. As above, but understating a viewpoint for effect. Example: a few students will wander home and perhaps turn on television. When two opposite viewpoints, ideas or concepts are placed close to each other for effect. Example: the two examples above could be an example of contrast if put together. Let us break the chains, shackles and nightmare of slavery and embrace each other in the dream of freedom. Such as the bible, television, movies, proverbs and clich s: to link with our audience and our common, shared experiences. Example: turn the other cheek; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
