Emotive language uses loaded words to subtly influence listeners' thoughts and beliefs. Speaking in the first person makes audiences feel personally involved by using pronouns like "I", "we", and "our". Repetition emphasizes ideas so the audience better understands and remembers the message. Poetic devices like simile and metaphor provide vivid mental images for listeners by comparing one thing to another.
