Rhetoric activity

These are the rhetorical figures that I found on the text:

Ethos: "(...)young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled."

Pathos: "We are, and always will be, the United States of America" 

Logos: "It was built by working men and women (...) had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause"

Repetition: "(...) who still doubts that America (...), who still wonders if the dream (...), who still questions the power of our democracy (...)" 

Polysyndeton: "(...) to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve" 

Parallelism: "(...) the backyards of Des Moins and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston."

Antithesis and juxtaposition: "(...) the bitter cold and scorching heat (...)"

Varied sentence length: "Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term (...) that we will get there" 

Figurative speech: "(...) a collections of red states and blue states." 

Hypophora: "It's the answer told by lines that (...)"

Upraisisng video

1.- The whole video tries to reflect that idea, because it always show images of a destroyed city. The part when one of the members of the band hits the window, or when the group of "people" is burning a pile of things help to give the idea of chaos and revolution. The letter of the song also helps to develop the idea of revolution and chaos: "Rise up and take the power back/ It's time the fat cats had a heart attack".

2.-  The lyric speaker is very confident, as he calls to reveal against the "fat cats". He do not show fear at any moment.
