Question

What rhetorical device if any, does "We're bakers. But we're parents too." use?

Answer 1

A rhetorical is a type of persuasion. It's basically saying that, "we can be A and B, too."

Antithesis - makes a connection between two things - “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Analogy - compares two different things that have some similar characteristics - He is flaky as a snowstorm.

Answer 2

I feel like it's not good enough to be either though.. it doesn't really seem like one of them :/

Answer 3

What do you think it is, dear?

Answer 4

I'm really not sure.. my English teacher grades super harsh so I have to be 100% sure.. idk I need to write paragraphs about an advertisement and one has to be on a rhetorical devise, and this is the best one by far but i can't find any.. and the others i found don't have any either! I'm so stressed!

Answer 5

What are your other choices? Can YOU choose your own device?

Answer 6

Yes, your choices would help. There is a false contrast being refuted, that they cannot be really parents if merely bakers.

It is a little like refuting a "straw man," an extreme position your opponent does not actually uphold.

Answer 7

this is the ad. i think we are actually supposed to do something the picture represents.. like could the picture be a metaphor or metonymy or synecdoche
or something?

Answer 8

Clever ad. They want you to infer that they take special care in their baking because they have children, like many of their customers do.

Synecdoche is "using a part for the whole," like asking for a girls "hand" in marriage. I forget what "metonymy" is, however.
