Last Act Of Defiance Rhetorical Analysis

I am using the articles “Declaration of Independence” and “Abigail Adams’ Last Act of Defiance.” They both use the ideas of ethos, logos, and a little bit of pathos. Both articles use stylistic devices like alliteration, anaphora, and metaphors.
To start with the article “Declaration of Independence”, I believes that it contains the idea of alliteration. “He has refused his…,” He has forbidden his…,” and “He has refused to pass…,”. When Thomas Jefferson wrote this passage, he wanted to make a strong impact on this specific place. I think that he does it this way to make a huge impact on the people. It proves my claim because it show that he wanted something. The following is another article about someone who was passionate to do something

against the rules.
I also have the article of Abigail Adams. Abigail has been told that she could not own farmland since married women aren’t allowed to. She did it anyway. Adams stated that, “... all the people Adams chose to bequeath money to were women in her family. Many of those women are married.”
When Adams didn’t obey laws, basically stating that she didn’t care about the law, doing what she wanted with her husbands money when she died. It proves the idea of pathos to the readers. It puts in their minds how women are treated, and that they deserved the things men got. She also used the idea of litotes to understand that women couldn’t own land.
Without those two statements, the United States would not be like they are today. Women are not allowed to own land unless women were unmarried or widowed. Also if America didn’t get away from Great Britain when we did, things would have went down hill, had it not be for the Declaration of Independence.
