Hurry ! how does darrow use rhetoric in this excerpt to attempt to influence the sentence leopold and loeb will receive? for god's sake, are we crazy? in the face of history, of every line of philosophy, against the teaching of every religionist and seer and prophet the world has ever given us, we are still doing what our barbarous ancestors did when they came out of the caves and the woods! … your honor, i am almost ashamed to talk about it. i can hardly imagine we are in the nineteenth or the twentieth century. and yet there are men who seriously say that for what nature has done, for what life has done, for what training has done, take the boys' lives. 1. he uses rhetorical questions to encourage the judge and audience to imagine the childhood traumas loeb and leopold experienced. 2.he uses direct address, speaking to the judge and the listening audience, to point out how easily they might find themselves in the same situation as leopold and loeb. 3.darrow uses charged language, such as “crazy” and “barbarous” and “ashamed” to persuade the judge and audience to reject the death penalty in spite of the horrible crime leopold and loeb committed. 4.darrow uses repetition (“for what nature has done, for what life has done) to emphasize that there are many justifications for why loeb and leopold behaved as they did.

3. Darrow uses charged language, such as “crazy” and “barbarous” and “ashamed” to persuade the judge and audience to reject the death penalty in spite of the horrible crime Leopold and Loeb committed.

This is the option that best identifies the rhetoric that Darrow uses in an attempt to influence the sentence that Leopold and Loeb will receive. Darrow uses charged language and words that have strong connotations. By using these words, he hopes his speech will be persuasive. He wants the audience to emotionally respond to his words. He hopes this might convince the judge and the audience to reject the death penalty.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
