Tornado Tuesday 9/17 • Identify the rhetorical device and copy the example sentence. • "Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer."(Winston Churchill, address delivered at the Guildhall, London, Sep. 14, 1914) • What is the purpose of this device, and how does it affect the tone of the speaker?
And the device is… • Anastrophe- A rhetorical term for the inversion of conventional word order. Adjective: anastrophic. • Caution! Use sparingly, or you’ll end up sounding like this guy: • "Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. . . . This one a long time have I watched. . . . Never his mind on where he was."(Yoda in Star Wars: Episode V--The Empire Strikes Back, 1980)
