It engages readers by addressing someone unknown.
Explanation: Apostrophe is when the speaker breaks off to address an absent person, an imaginary figure, or an abstract idea. That direct address to someone not present draws readers in by creating immediacy and emotional intensity, even though the addressee isn’t the reader.
