Anaphora Repetition that occurs when the first word or set of words in one sentence, clause, or phrase are repeated at or very near the beginning of successive sentences.
Example "What we need in the United States is not division. What we need in the United States is not hatred.

Second VALUES Persuade that something is right or wrong, moral or immoral, valuable or worthless. Appeal to the beliefs, morality and values of your listeners. Example: Persuade your speech class mates that cheating at school is absolutely unacceptable.
Finally POLICIES Persuade that there is a problem and get the audience to agree with your solution. Motivate them to act or change attitudes, policies or policy regulations. Appeal to human needs, reason and emotion. *Remember Kennedy: “What we need…”
