Read this excerpt from Winston Churchill's first address to Parliament:
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat… You ask, what is our policy? I will say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at
all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.
What rhetorical elements make the speech effective?
