McKay develops the theme of "America" by showing how the narrator's relationship with his country is personal rather than abstract. McKay creates tension by showing how even though America feeds, or nourishes the narrator, it is with "bread of bitterness." The narrator admits that even though America steals his "breath of life," he still loves it. This contradiction is inherent to the theme: that what harms the narrator about his relationship with America is also what makes him stronger. Yet the narrator's conclusion is that the seemingly mighty future of America is in danger of disappearing "like priceless treasures sinking in the sand."
Answer:The rhetorical effect that the impersonation of the word "Prudence" provoked was the Ethos.
Explanation:
Personification is a figure of speech that provides human characteristics to inanimate objects or beings. In the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence, the personification allowed that the "prudencia" that is an inanimate being could dictate something.
Prudence is the ability of some people to analyze existing variables and evaluate their possible consequences before making a decision. When the author used the personification in prudence, he imposed that prudence be seen as an authority, which must be heard and its precepts followed.
In this way the author appealed to the rhetorical Ethos effect. An appeal to ethos depends on the credibility, competence and reputation of the person making the argument, in this case, the person is the "prudence". A person considered as an authority on the subject she is talking about would make such an argument. The argument is primarily based on relying on the opinion or analysis of an authority or expert.
