"In what ways does Major use rhetoric in his speech and what impact does this have on the animals?"

The rhetoric questions help us to reflex and think about things, think about what the other told us and what they wanted to tell us with just a simple question.

what major wanted to make in every animal in the farm is that they reflect of what they want to make, if they want to keep under the hands of Mr. Jones or they want to be free and choose for themselves. “Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours?” p.3

So rhetoric questions helped him to make the other animals think about what they want in their lifes.

The animals answered the question in their minds and reflect about what major told them by the time he was talking.

The rhetoric questions help the others to introduce more the readers or the listeners to what the person which is talking or writing wants to tell the others.

Old major used rhetoric questions to support his ideas and get to what the other animals wanted to listen. “Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of human beings?” p.5. Old Major wanted the animals to rebel against Mr. Jones, and what will be better than a rhetorical question to make them think about what they want.

In the first chapter of “Animal Farm” Old Major gave a speech, which says that the animals have to rebel against the humans, and he used rhetorical questions for support and make his ideas more structured.
