What type of rhetorical devices does Susan B. Anthony use in her defense for women's suffrage?
"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot."
Pathos: Women are meant to feel the injustice of how they are being treated, and so, fight for the right to vote.
Men are also supposed to see this as an injustice, so they should support women in their fight for voting.
Ethos: The constitution itself says "We, the people" -and it is one of the most important seminal documents in American history
Logos: Everyone deserves the right to vote because it is the only way to have a voice in the government, and if only half of the people being governed have a vote, it makes no sense for the other half. USES QUOTES

What literary device is used in this quote? Why?
“Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning; it is an end. Indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor–never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.”
-Elie Wiesel, author and Holocaust survivor
Anaphora - beginning sentences with 'indifference' -- it emphasizes how when we are indifferent, it can be very dangerous - like how people who were not affected directly by the Holocaust were indifferent and allowed millions of people to be killed
