John F Kennedy uses the rhetorical choice of using repetition, metaphor, and in some parts throughout emotion to convey his message about space travel. One of the rhetorical choices he used was repetition. Throughout the speech he repeated the same phrase "We choose to go to the moon" multiple times, showing how important it is of that goal and showing the amount of determination. He also made it clear that space exploration was a choice and one that required effort. Kennedy also used a metaphor as a rhetorical choice.
