Authors use rhetorical devices in essays in order to convey the reader a meaning with the goal of persuading them towards considering a topic from a different perspective, using sentences designed to encourage an emotional display of a given perspective.

Rhetorical devices can also be used to evoke an emotional response in the audience.
