In a well-constructed paragraph, explain how Eleanor Roosevelt uses rhetorical devices in her speech to persuade her audience.

Roosevelt's speech was a persuasive speech. It informs the audience and persuades people into wanting to adopt basic human rights.

Roosevelt also persuades the audience into believing in basic human rights by expressing her emotional beliefs, showing logical content towards her audience, and establishing credibility within her speech.

"The new article proposed by the Soviet delegation is but a restatement of state obligation, which the soviet delegation attempted to introduce into practically every article in the Declaration."

"...Soviet delegation and committee and rejected after exhaustive discussion."

"This in no way affects our wholehearted support for the basic principles of economic, social. and cultural rights set forth in these articles.

Roosevelt uses a variety of rhetorical devices in her speech. First, she appeals to the logic of her audience. She includes contrast to show differences between those who will vote for the UDHR, and those who will not. This helps to convince the audience that they should approve the UDHR. Roosevelt also appeals to emotions with loaded language and allusions. Words such as imposition and exhaustive put a negative slant on the Soviet amendments, which Roosevelt believes should be rejected. Roosevelt also uses allusions to convince the delegates that they will be part of a breakthrough in international human rights by voting for the UDHR. All of these rhetorical devices help Roosevelt to persuade her audience.
