Rhetorical devices on a phonological level In this section those rhetorical devices will be demonstrated through slogans that are happening on a phonological level, this means that these rhetorical devices are playing with the sounds in the language. For this reason, from an advertising point of view, rhetorical devices on a phonological level might be the most important linguistic means to make advertising slogans, because as Leech (1966) put it, “phonological schemes help to make striking and memorable pieces of language. There is a ‘ritualistic’ quality to them, which makes people want to repeat them, … and this is when a slogan catches on with the general public” (p. 189). Alliteration – the most common of rhetorical devices found in advertising slogans, presumably because it creates a sort of rhyming effect without actual rhyme and little work put into making it.
Rhetorical Situation 1 When I first asked my parents for a phone, they said no, so I had to convice them why I needed one and what the benefit would be. I ended up convincing them to get me a phone, but I still had restrictions on what I could and couldn't do.

Discrimination is frowned upon the United States, but there was a time when it was a common occurrence. My grandparents have told me just a few stories of what it was like to grow up during that era, and I still see a little bit of discrimination in them. Though when your family’s roots run only through the Southern U.S., you could probably understand why it would be difficult for them to let go of the past. There are many examples of discrimination and exclusion in U.S. history. Brown vs. Board of Education, The Montgomery Bus Boycott and Rosa parks, and the Japanese internment camps are all examples of discrimination that has occurred in the U.S. within the past hundred years.
“He told me all this very much later, but I’ve put it down here with the idea of exploding those first wild rumors about his antecedents, which weren’t even faintly true. Moreover he told it to me at a time of confusion, when I had reached the point of believing everything and nothing about him. So I take advantage of this short halt, while
While creating my rhetorical analysis paper I used all of my typical writing processes. I began this assignment by selecting a commercial that I thought would be the most appealing in the superbowl. After selecting my commercial I did some research at the library using EBSCOhost. I then created an outline on what my paper would be about and pieced all of its parts together.
