Read It 1. Identify the rhetorical device in each passage as either simple parallelism
or antithesis. Then, explain your choice.
a. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we
shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom
b. Let every nation know... that we shall pay any price, bear any
burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure
the survival and the success of liberty.
2. Find at least one example each of parallelism, anaphora, and antithesis in
paragraphs 15-19 (see Part 2) of Kennedy's inaugural address. For each
passage you chose, identify the type of rhetorical device being used. Then,
explain why the passage is a good example of that device.
