Conference

During conference this past weekend many of the speakers used rhetorical analysis to get there point across. The talk I would like to talk about is the the one given By Elder Robert D. Hales.
He starts out using a Rhetorical question. He says "Why then if we have that love of the Savior would someone want to be an antoganoist or attack us?" The reason this was a rheotrical question was becase he brought this question up for a reaction from the audience. He wanted us to consider this and to get the idea into our head.
Another area of tools that he used was a simile. He used this many times. The first time one that I heard him say was "Respond to our accusers as the savior did". His use of as here is really good because he says as the savior did. Which makes people want to work as the savior did. Another time that he uses a simile is when he using the story of the Cactus. He says "that the cactus seems to shoot needles like a porcupine", this puts a picture into our head and we are able to understand more fully what he is talking about.
