Hay guys, I'm looking for help on rhetorical features since there's definitely gonna be at least a 6 marker on that.
All I can think of is:
anaphora, repetition, rhetorical questions, sarcasm, emotive language, comparison with former less evil enemies of the state

Any more?
Thanx :)

xiao bro... i rekon just read through liz stephenson Juvenal notes... they've got the best terms and ideas in terms of language techniques... they might not help you directly but they really get u thinking in the mood... i rekon just have an acronym for all the literary techniques n go in, then scan through ur passage... n underline the places where there's an anaphora, asyndeton or wotever...
xiao bro... ull be fine... weve done do much on literary techniques dis yr... thanks to matsos...

My avatar beats all of yours. Even flyin'! Anyway, back to Cicero. Obviously repetition and tautology are there ;) but what else?
