Answer from: rileigh2302

B. Allusion

Explanation:

A. Generally speaking hyperbole is exaggerated comparison which means that you compare two things in a manner that is obviously unrealistic .

For example: That guy over there is as tall as a building.

B. Allusion means speaking about someone or something without directly mentioning it. In this example they are speaking about Michelangelo`s work, not about him as a person.

C. Slant rhyme is a type of rhyme where two verses do not end with same letter or/and sound

For example: work: talk

D. Alliteration is repetition of the same(similar) consonants in the beginning of the adjacent words.

For example: She sells sea shells by the sea shore.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
