    Hello Tracy

    Wikipedia : In rhetoric, a rhetorical device or resource of language is a technique that an author or speaker uses to evoke an emotional response in the audience (the reader(s) or listener(s)). These emotional responses are central to the meaning of the work or speech, and should also get the audience's attention.

    Also here select what you FEEL to suit this effect the best.

    Success !

    :)
