Explanation:

President John F. Kennedy delievered his ignaugural address in January 1961, and it is considered one of the greatest ignaugural addresses in the history of the United States (along with the first and second of Abraham Lincoln, and F. Roosevelt's first one).

This address is one of the greatest because of it's strong message, it's effect on the audience and the literary devices it contains. One of the literary devices the address contains is the metaphor (which refers to a literary device in which an author uses one object to compare a relation between another object to define the similarities or characteristics). In this case "And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house" is using metaphor as its rhetorical figure because is comparing the Hemisphere to a house, and the countries to the master.

Kennedy's inaugural address was intended to give a message to both American citizens, and enemies (especially the Soviet Union) about how the nation was strong, fearless and would defend itself from any attack, and to state that the whole continent was allied, and that the United States would help those in need.
