Unitarianism and Kant’s theories both seem simple when just looking at them at their surfaces. Unitarianism is all about analyzing if an action is taken how much happiness or pleasure would be a result of that action‚ but it is really not that simple (pg 743). There are marginal humans who pleasure cannot be measured for. Then there is Kant’s theory which is about duty and following said duty. The duty that Kant talks about is a categorical imperative.

I used epistrophe to emphasize the point that Jack will not do the things that will hinder his pleasure [ 3 ]. I used antithesis here to kind of show a cause and effect. If he was to offer mercy (the cause) then he would accept defeat (effect). It seemed more logical to use antithesis right here than other forms of rhetoric.

2004 AP Language & Composition Form A Question #1: Rhetorical Analysis To be a parent is‚ at least in part‚ to live through one’s children. A parent wants the best for his or her child‚ and so‚ it is understandable that he or she may claim the child’s success (or failure) for his or her own.
