From the reading
Social media did not invent the racism that has always existed in any society; it organised it, amplified it, and handed it a megaphone.
Grammar: Rhetorical Structures
- Tricolon
- Three parallel units of rising force. She arrived, she listened, and she understood. The third unit carries the weight.
- Anaphora
- Repeated opening phrase across clauses. Not the city, not the country, not the continent — she was home. Builds rhythm and pressure.
Sample items
- She was tired. She was frustrated. She was ready to stop explaining herself.
- They had dismissed her. They had ignored her. They had tried to erase her.
- The film was personal but it was also political.
