Read this passage from "four freedoms speech" by franklin d. roosevelt. no realistic american can expect from a dictator’s peace international generosity, or return of true independence, or world disarmament, or freedom of expression, or freedom of religion—or even good business. how does roosevelt’s use of rhetoric in this excerpt advance his viewpoint? by using antithesis, roosevelt emphasizes the difference between america and the countries under dictatorship. by using parallel structure, roosevelt draws attention to the reasons he is concerned about the dictators who have taken power in parts of europe. by using hypophora, roosevelt answers the objections that members of congress have raised about u. s. involvement in world war ii. by using hyperbole, roosevelt paints an extreme picture of how the dictators of europe might respond to american requests.
