Gorman says, "If we're to live up to our own time, then victory won't lie in the blade, but in all of the bridges we've made. / That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it because being American is more than a pride we inherit, it's the past we step into and how we repair it." Name two literary devices in these lines, and explain how they enhance the effectiveness of Gorman's message.
