Read the passage from “President Nixon’s Resignation Speech,” in which Nixon describes the concept of the great responsibilities of a president in troubled times. In passing this office to the Vice President, I also do so with the profound sense of the weight of responsibility that will fall on his shoulders tomorrow and, therefore, of the understanding, the patience, the cooperation he will need from all Americans. How does Nixon use rhetoric to express this concept? He uses the personification of “responsibility” having a “sense,” which makes responsibility seem more vivid. He uses a metaphor of “weight” on Ford’s “shoulders” to express the concept of how difficult the responsibility is. He uses alliteration in “passing,” “president,” and “profound” to evoke the relentlessness of presidential responsibility. He uses hyperbole to describe the “understanding,” “patience,” and “cooperation” Ford needs to meet his responsibility.

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.
