Rhetorical Techniques

Charged Words Words that evoke a strong emotion – “freedom,” “love,” “passion,” “constitutional right”

Rhetorical Questions A question not intended to be answered used for emotional effect – “Are we going to stand by and take this abuse?”

Restatement Taking the same idea and explaining it in different words. “The trip to Dairy Queen would take two minutes! We could walk there and return before the new class began!”

Repetition Using the same word or phrase over again for effect. “No! No! No!”

Parallelism Using the same sentence structure for effect – “We will not! We shall not! We cannot!”

Exclamation Using an exclamation point to put emphasis on an idea – “I will not take the abuse!”

Logical Argument The use of facts to convince someone of something. “After researching, we have found that the school could save $1,600 by allowing us to eat lunch off campus.”

Emotional Appeal Using emotional statements to convince someone of something. “O,the humanity! Even monkeys have more freedom then we do. Have some mercy. Let us eat off campus!”

Rule of Three Using an element three times to create maximum emotional impact.“No! No! No!”

Appeal to God Convincing people that they should believe what you believe because God is on your side. “The Bible tells us to eat lunch off campus, so we should all go eat lunch off campus.”

Allusion Referencing a respected source (sometimes the Bible) to convince people to believe what you believe. “As God said, ‘Let there be light!’, so should you, great and powerful administrators, spread the light of off-campus lunch to us!”
