Read the stage direction from act 1 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street. Steve starts the engine. It turns over sluggishly and then just stops dead. He tries it again and this time he can't get it to turn over. Then very slowly and reflectively he turns the key back to "off" and then slowly gets out of the car.

Plot

Explanation:

Steve is experiencing a sort of conflict that seems like it would be part of the rising action. It doesn't seem to address Steve's character, and while we know that steve is in a car, it doesn't describe the setting in any detail.

both the address and the poster use diction to convey their message. diction is defined as a style of writing or speaking based on the types of words chosen in order to send a message. parallelism is when a similar sentence structure is used for several sentences on a text; roosevelt's address doesn't follow that. repetition has to do with repeating a word or sentence in order to emphasize and idea, however neither the poster nor the address use repetion. finally, the address doesn't use images to convey a message.
