This document defines and provides examples of rhetorical questions, anaphora, and anafora. It explains that rhetorical questions are asked to make a point rather than expect an answer, as the answer is obvious. Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive clauses or sentences for emphasis, rhythm, and memorability, as seen in the example from A Tale of Two Cities. The document also notes that rhetorical questions and anaphora reconfirm shared beliefs without providing new information.
