In Aristotle's Rhetorical Triangle, there are three elements that need to be taken into account

repetition of consonant sounds at the start of words

details are before the subject and verb

A contradiction in terms

the repetition of words or phrases at the beginning of consecutive lines or sentences

show of equal ideas; for emphasis, for rhythm

the repetition of the last word of one clause at the beginning of the next clause

an indirect, less offensive way of saying something that is considered unpleasant

a sentence in which the main independent clasuse is elaborated by the successive addition of modifiying clauses

represents something as less than it is

A direct comparison of two unlike things, using like or as

The appeal that relates to the author appealing to to the reader's emotions is:

a reference to something literary, myhtological, or historical that the author assumes the reader will recognize

The appeal that relates to the author establishing credibility is

a person is attacked personally, rather than their argument

When an author has chosen specific words for specific effect, you would talk about...

An assertive statement

repetition of consonant sounds in the middle of words

a sentence in which words, phrases or clauses are set off against each other to emphasize contrast

details come after the subject and verb

the everyday speech of a particular country or region, often involving nonstandard usage

A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound

words that describe concepts rather than concrete images

a concise statement, often offereing advice; and adage

a term used to point out a characteristic of a person

A direct comparison of two unlike things

The three rhetorical appeals that also fit into the triangle are:

the subject performs the action expressed in the verb

According to Mrs. Sellers, these two things go hand in hand for analysis

substituting the name of one object for another object closely associated with it

the manner in which words are arranged into sentences

language that evokes one or all of the senses

a brief or indirect reference to a piece of literature or the Bible
