Read the passage from “President Nixon’s Resignation Speech,” in which Nixon describes the concept of the great responsibilities of a president in troubled times. In passing this office to the Vice President, I also do so with the profound sense of the weight of responsibility that will fall on his shoulders tomorrow and, therefore, of the understanding, the patience, the cooperation he will need from all Americans. How does Nixon use rhetoric to express this concept? He uses the personification of “responsibility” having a “sense,” which makes responsibility seem more vivid. He uses a metaphor of “weight” on Ford’s “shoulders” to express the concept of how difficult the responsibility is. He uses alliteration in “passing,” “president,” and “profound” to evoke the relentlessness of presidential responsibility. He uses hyperbole to describe the “understanding,” “patience,” and “cooperation” Ford needs to meet his responsibility.
