Write a brief paragraph that describes how Lewis uses rhetorical appeal and rhetorical devices to achieve his purpose. PLATO
Representative John Lewis’s purpose in his speech at the King Memorial groundbreaking is to remind the nation that King’s work is unfinished. His primary appeal is ethos. He is able to make this appeal by drawing on his position as a popular representative, a leader of the civil rights movement, and a personal friend of Martin Luther King’s. In a series of parallel phrases, Lewis establishes that he and King were very close. The anecdote Lewis recalls about being a teenager in the segregated South, and the impact of hearing King on the radio, adds a strong emotional appeal to the ethical one as Lewis calls for the next generation to carry on King’s legacy. He is uniquely qualified to commemorate King.

Hi. In your question, I can see that you are referring to Lewis' speech at the opening of the King Memorial.

To answer this question it is necessary that you present your personal perception and interpretation of the discussion and for that reason, I cannot answer it for you, but I will show you how to do this.

First, you must read the entire speech, understand its theme, and understand how Lewis develops that theme. In a nutshell, we can state that Lewis was referring to how King's work, in the struggle for civil rights and social equality between whites and blacks, is not over, but must be continued by all.

Within this speech, you must identify the use of the rhetorical appeals ethos, pathos and logos. You will notice them as follows:

Among rhetorical devices, Lewis can use metaphors, anecdotes, comparations, and any other element that heightens the meaning of an important point in the speech.
