Rhetorical Question and Procatalepsis

Today in class we discussed the 6th and 7th devices named Rhetorical question and  Procatalepsis. A rhetorical question is something of a cousin to hypophora. A hypophora asks a question, and then answers it immediately, a rhetorical question is one in which the answer is implied.Procatalepsis is a relative of the hypophora. The procatalepsis deals specifically with objections, and it usually does so without even asking the question.

Rhetorical Question Ex.
- Is it good for teens to have high self esteem?

Procatalepsis Ex.
- Many people today believe that slavery didn’t occur, but it do.

Whoever wins has to then face Trump for his spot. Tom Brady is determining his decision on whether  he wants to stay in the NFL or retire. Nathaniel Woods is currently facing lethal injection execution due to the killing of 3 police officers that he didn’t kill.
