Asked by catie

why do authors use rhetorical devices in essays?
a. to simplify the meaning of the main idea
b. to increase the credibility of the essay
c. to evoke a personal response from readers
d. to show their skill as diverse writers
e. to compare two or more essays about the same topic
I pick C but I don't really understand how it personalizes the response. This is the only answer that makes any sense
Answered by Reed
I agree with your answer. A rhetorical or literary device such as a metaphor or simile, etc., makes an abstract point (some theory or idea) more easily relatable to everyday life.

Yes, C.

We tend to relate to and remember similes, metaphors, alliteration, and so on. Think about some of the common figures of speech -- good as gold, hot as Hades, Peter Piper picked . . .
