Ich wollte mich gerade an meine Englisch-Hausaufgaben machen, da fällt mir auf, dass ich nicht genau weiß, wie ich eine Analyse von rhetorischen Mitteln eines Textes strukturieren soll... Jedoch hatte ich genau dies gerade vor.
Einleitung ist klar, 'n bisschen über den Text erzählen, d.h. von wem ist er, wann geschrieben, Thema. Aber wie mach ich dann den Übergang zu den rhetorischen Mitteln, dass er sich auch einigermaßen angenehm anhört?
Wenn jemand n Leitfaden oder sowas für so eine Analyse hat, her damit, danke
Hab nun schon was geschrieben, wäre nett wenn mal jemand gucken könnte ob da grobe Fehler drin sind. (Natürlich nicht inhaltlich, das geht ja schlecht
)In the following text, I am going to analyze the rhetorical devices used by „Frank Ernest Hill“ in his text „The American Land“. The author of this text was born in the year 188 and died 1969, in this text he describes the impression of the huge new land upon the first settler.
In this text, the author uses several rhetorical devices to point the main facts out to the reader. At the beginning of the text there is a personification which says „the land convinced“ (l.1). Through this the reader thinks of the new land as a huge thing which can do things.
Another example for the same meaning is when the author says „the size worked upon“ something (l. 22) or „the land showed them“ (l.27).
Another important fact is that the author keeps comparing the new world with the old world which is also known as Europe. This is starting when he tells us that the land is as „great as Europe“ (l.26) and keeps on being in the whole text. He does this because many potential readers only knew Europe and had no possibility to imaginate the dimensions of the new world only by reading numbers.
For those readers, which were able to think of the new world by facts, he wrote for example „3 million square miles“ (l.7).
All in all the rhetorical devices used in this text are a very good choice by the author because they describe the big dimension of the new world as good and detailled as possible and let even those readers get an image of it, who are not interested in geography or statistics.
MfG & Danke.
