Rhetorical Devices Post

Brazil's beautiful beaches. 
     Wouldn't you like to visit bright and sunny Brazil? More than five million people do each year (logos). Come visit the serene waterfalls as the glide down the rocks or the cable cars that pass by with a "swoosh" over the city (onomatopoeia). Brazil's beautiful beaches enchant anyone who steps foot on its rocky shores (alliteration). Footvolley players perform an intricate dance as they leap to keep the ball from touching the ground (metaphor). Surfers glide over the waves as spectators cheer them on.
Christ the Redeemer
     Taxis shriek as they careen through the concrete jungle (personification and metaphor respectively). Everyday brings forth a new adventure. Step outside and inhale the aroma of fresh pastries baking and stop by one of the many small cafes. Follow the winding roads to new buildings or quiet plazas. Meander past couples hand-in-hand or children scurrying between parents' legs like mice going after cheese (simile).

    Come visit Rio's Botanical gardens and walk through the Royal Avenue of Palms (you'll feel miniscule compared to those majestic trees). If that doesn't interest you, hike up to the top of the world and pay your respects to the Christ the Redeemer statue (hyperbole). The view from the top will take your breath away.  Come surf on the pristine waters at Copacabana or gaze at the sky while the sun says goodbye  at Prainha Beach (personification). Why not pass by Escadaria Selaron, colorful stairs lovingly decorated with tiles to create a mosaic effect? Witness Carioca Aqueduct, modeled after the Romans and built in 1723. The city is filled with unforgettable sights.No matter who you are, young or old, male or female, Brazil is the place for you. When it's time to leave, you'll learn that "parting is such sweet sorrow" (allusion).
