26. - the principle guiding the art of writing effectively, eloquently, and persuasively (Not sure)
27. Aphorism- a concise statement that expresses a general truth or idea, often using rhyme or balance
28. Anecdote- (Patrick Henry) “We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth and listen to the song of the siren, till she transforms us into beasts.”
29. Analogy- Referring to manual laborers as blue-collar workers represents what device?
30. Aphorism- (Vladmir Lenin) “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” ✔
31. Analogy- (Leonard Pitts) “I’m as graceful as a refrigerator falling down a flight of stairs.”
32. Alliteration- (Upton Sinclair) “It was a sound, a sound made up of ten thousand little sounds.”

I had to write what type of rhetorical device was used. Some I wasn't sure of.

I find this confusing. Some of them I don't know the quotation, so can't tell if you're right or wrong. For example, I don't know if what you number as 28 applies to the "King Lear" quotation or what?
