Umm elements are things like, similes, metaphors, imagery, illusions, any literary device. Those are the things you need to look for in the story to answer the first question.

Answer 12

alright

Answer 13

Usually an essay has about 5 paragraphs. Intro, 3 body, and a conclusion. So about three elements should work. So far you have rhetorical questions and similes. Another one that you could use is imagery. When he says things like, "On sweltering summer days and crisp autumn mornings I have looked at her beautiful churches with their spires pointing heavenward." It helps you to picture what was going on. He uses this element quite a bit.

Answer 14

You could start out with your thesis, then say something like, "Martin Luther King shows this power through similes, rhetorical questions and imagery. We can take a closer look at each element. (next paragraph) First off, King uses....blahblahblah"

Answer 15

alright okay

Answer 16

Stylistic elements are inherently in how an author writes; things like word choice, sentence construction, character motifs, etc. Kind of like his style of writing.

Answer 17

A simile is a rhetorical figure expressing comparison or likeness that directly compares two things through some connective word such as like, as, so, than, or a verb such as resembles.

Answer 18

okay
