Levi wrote several sentences for his rhetorical analysis of the Elizabeth Cady Stanton's "Declaration of Sentiments." How can Levi arrange the sentences in a paragraph to clearly show relationships among claims, counterclaims, reasons, and evidence?
Her use of these well-known words
masterfully combines the logos of
the original document's
"self-evident" with the ethos of
referencing such a foundational
document.
However, this rhetorical strategy
allows her to compound the effects
of several rhetorical devices in a
relatively brief text.
Some might say that Elizabeth Cady
Stanton's use of allusion to the
Declaration of Independence is
melodramatic.
For example, she uses the clause
"We hold these truths to be
self-evident," echoing the
Declaration of Independence.
