Assertion Analysis #12

Ralph Waldo Emerson expresses about the individuality of human kind.Everyone is unique and different in their own way. Individuality begins when it he writes "we will speak our own minds..." and "each believes himself inspired by the divine soul". Both quotes speak about how each persons is their own individual, that they have their own minds. When Emerson states "A nation of men will for the first time exist" I believe he is talking about Democracy. How the United States was the first democratic country in the Americas.

A rhetorical device Emerson uses is repetition. Ralph Waldo Emerson repeats the phrase; "we will..." giving it the words more emphasis.  By him doing this he portrays his willingness to get his point across. Also by repeating this two words it establishes how all this things haves something in common, similar in some extent.
