President Kennedy uses parallelism and anti-theses when he
mentions an end as well as a beginning and renewal as well as change. Other instances when Kennedy used parallelism
as well and anti-theses in the second part of the speech such as support any
friend or foe or united there is little we cannot do, divided there is little
we can do. The purpose of this was to
give strength to his speech and to motivate listeners to what he is saying.
