This is called anaphora.
Anaphora is a literary device where a word or phrase is repeated at the beginning of successive clauses, phrases, or sentences. This repetition emphasizes the phrase and creates a strong rhythm and impact.
Here are some examples of anaphora:
- "I have a dream" - Martin Luther King Jr.
- "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills" - Winston Churchill.
- "We are the people, this is our time, this is our moment" - Barack Obama
Anaphora is often used in speeches, poems, and songs to create a sense of momentum, passion, or urgency. It can also be used to create a sense of unity or solidarity.
