Rhetorical devices: They are techniques that an author

uses to convey to the reader a meaning with the goal of

persuading them to consider a topic from a different
perspective. Rhetorical devices may be used to evoke an
emotional response in the audience. Some rhetorical
devices are:

 Symbol: A symbol is a word or object that stands for another

word or object. The object or word can be seen with the eye or
may not be visible. For example, a dove stands for peace.

 Metaphor: Comparison between two different things

by speaking of one in terms of the other.
 Simile: Comparison between two different things that
resemble each other in at least one way introduced by
the words “like” or “as”.
 Imagery: The author uses a word or phrase to
stimulate the reader´s memory of their senses.
