The seven rules of rhetoric

The seven rules of rhetoric are as follows:

• Repeat words: I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream
• Repeat sounds: We are the people...who persuaded others to buy British, not by begging them to do so, but because it was best. 
• Use contrast and opposites: Ask not what your country can do for you-ask waht can you do for your country. 
• Group key points in threes: We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building for the birth of a new world. 
• Ask rhetorical questions: What are our chances of success? It depends on what kind of people we are. 
• Accumulate supporting points: We are the people who, amongst other things, invented the computer, the refigerator, the electric motor, the stethoscope, rayon, the steam turbine, stainless steel, the tank...
• Use metaphorical language: To lead our country out of the valley of darkness.
