Which of the following litarary devices would be most useful in a reflecitive essay

The best literary devices for a reflective essay could be the use of irony at the beginning, using metaphors and similes to express your point more thoroughly in a way that appeals to the reader, and finally a hyperbole and a personification that would make a nice light-hearted conclusion that, in a way, makes sense to what exactly you are writing, and puts the essay down at exactly where it should stop. once you feel like you have reached that point, do not go on. that would be like overkill, and your devices would have been unnecessary, as you would have explained your entire point anyways for the reader, rather than letting the reader think and wonder about what your next sentence would be about.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
