Rule of Three Exaggeration

Rhetorical Questions Emotive Language

Persuasive Language

Based on the idea that people remember things better when there are three.

US Declaration of Independence“life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”

Julius Cesar“Friends, Romans, countrymen – lend me your ears”

Barack Obama“we must pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America.“

Persuasive Language

emotional response from the reader/listener.

“If global warming continues, our world will be destroyed!”

Persuasive Language alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of sounds at the beginning of words. It is persuasive because it is draws attention and creates emphasis.

Alliteration is often combined with the Rule of Three

To argue like that makes those people cruel, calculating and corrupt!

Health, happiness and hope for the New Year!

Persuasive Language repetitionRepeating a word several times helps listeners/readers remember the message better.

We will all suffer for years to come unless we stop this government, stop them in the workplace,

stop them in the polls, and stop them on election day.

Rhetorical questions?A rhetorical question is one in which the answer is so obvious it is not required. The

idea here is not to receive an answer, merely to reinforce a point.

How would you feel if we ran out of energy today?Do you want the people in government to push you around?

Wouldn’t you like to be free from suffering?

Reading Strategy The

RULE

You don’t need to understand 100% of the words on a page.

Using a dictionary for every word would take to long.

You can skip some words and still understand.

“MR. JONES, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the popholes. With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side, he lurched across the yard, kicked off his boots at the back door, drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the cullery, and made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring.”
