John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address contains many rhetorical features. Parallel structure is a technique which entail a repetition of some words or pattern of words. This stylistic device not only offers a more pleasant speech but also makes the speech easy to understand and get the main idea.
Example:” "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall <u>pay any price</u>, <u>bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty</u>.” In this particular excerpt, there is the repetition of grammatical structure: Verb + any+ object.
In his speech, there are other rhetorical devices. In the following example it is possible to recognize the use of Metaphor and Alliteration. Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to describe someone, something or an idea using certain words whose meaning must not be taken literally. It helps to deliver a message in a clear and convincing manner. Alliteration enhances greatly the amusement of the speech as it consists of a lively repetition of the initial sound of words in a passage and It helps to convey meaning in a creative, effective and appealing manner. Besides, it provides rhythm to the text
.
Example: “Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that t<u>he torch has been passed</u> to a new generation of Americans, born in this century,”
This sentence gives the idea that a new era and a new movement towards a better future in America (metaphor) and there is the repetition of the "f" sound (alliteration)
Answer:
Oxymoron:
1: O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!
Paradoxes:
2: What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.
3: I can resist anything but temptation.
4: How is it possible to have a civil war?
Explanation:
Oxymoron:
It is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction.
e.g Fully empty, living death, O loving hate.
Based on this definition only "O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" falls under the category of Oxymoron.
Paradox: It is similar to oxymoron, but it is usually a statement with logically contradictory statements which on investigation may or may not be logically true.
e.g "Everything I say is lie" , Barber Paradox: "A male barber shaves all and only those men who don’t shave themselves. Does he shave himself?"
As we can find out there are no contradictory terms/words, but the statements which may contradict each other.
Based on the above, we conclude that sentence 2, 3 and 4 are Paradoxes.
