Hill repeats the word "violence" to make his audience feel the pain of the Palestinians.
Hill repeats the word "violence" to show examples of all of the different ways Palestianans are faced with violence.

A
B
C

Point out with emotional words and emotional diction to make his audience feel for the Palestianian people.
Use the metaphor of the butterfly to demonstrate the struggle of the Palestinians
Show that he is transitioning from pointing out human rights abuses Israeli commits on Palestinians to the need for action by the UN (United Nations)
According to Hill, Why does he explain that Trump is "not an exception to American policy"?
America has continually helped Israel and hurt Palestinians
America has always helped Palestinians and hurt Israelis
In this paragraph, Hill uses the rhetorical device of repetition of the word "words". Why is Hill repeating the word "words", or what affect does he want from his audience with his use of reptition?
Hill repeats the word "word" in order to make people remember this word later because when we repeat things people remember them.
Hill repeats the word "words" because the word "words" makes people feel sad, and by making his audience feel sad, Hill is persuading them to help the Palestinians
Hill repeats the word "words" before giving examples of how Palestinians are attacked in order to emphasize that "words" are not enough. He also repeats "not enough" after "words" to point out the need for action, not words.
What technique does Hill begin to use to demonstrate that the United Nations needs to accept Palestinian's right to defend itself and not call that violence.
Hill uses a simile to compare the plight of Palestinians to the completely unrelated struggle of Indian animal rescue
Hill uses an analogy to compare the plight of Palestinians to the plight of his own African American ancestry.
He uses imagery to paint a picture of bombings and death of Palestinians for his audience.
Consider your answer for question 19. What affect does their use of the rhetorical device you chose have on this audience, the United Nations members.
Hill's use of a simile is effective because all United Nations members have pets, so comparing the struggle of Palestinians to animals is relevant and emotionally moving for this audience.
Hill's use of an analogy is effective because it relates his own struggle to that of the Palestinian, making himself an example of the struggle and fight that needs to happen for justice. This is particularly effective because the United Nations Members can see his face and be moved emotionally.
Hill's use of imagery is effective because an image of bombings and death are emotional triggers and they are images that the United Nations are attempting to solve not create.
