What are rhetorical devices?

What rhetorical devices does Steve Jobs use in his commencement speech at Stanford?

  • Answer:

    Sarcasm, Irony, humor seems to get lost in the list. Metaphor (you can only connect the dots looking back is my favorite and great advice for a mover/shaker). Chiasmus Epistrophe (again look back look forward) The whole speech is understatement and therefore litotes Heck I.m sure you will find hyperbole and parallelism in that very short speech. Read it at the link below. It takes maybe 5 minutes.
