Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: Churchill's Address to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom in May 1940. The author of this speech uses repetitions of the word victory in order to C) motivate patriotic feelings in the British people to ensure that even though other countries will fall, the British will have victory with all costs.
