Lesson Three: Analyzing Rhetorical Strategies in Presidential Speeches

Question 143380 • [ELA10] ELA 10, Sem 2 (26-27)

How does the use of parallelism support Kennedy’s message?

Answer
A
It repeatedly encourages people from other countries to visit Berlin.
B
It creates an organized structure that allows Kennedy to counter the opinions of others.
C
It evokes a sense of trust with the audience by highlighting Kennedy’s credibility.
D
It generates deep feelings of compassion from the people of Berlin toward those in the free world.

Explanation

Kennedy repeats a similar pattern as he introduces claims made by others and responds, “Let them come to Berlin.” This parallel structure organizes his argument and lets him challenge those opinions by pointing to Berlin as evidence. The repetition does invite people to visit, but its main purpose is to strengthen his counterargument, not simply encourage tourism.
