Kennedy uses alliteration, metaphor, allusion, and different parallel structures, such as chiasmus, anaphora, and antithesis. Kennedy alludes to two quotations from the Christian Bible. Kennedy uses alliteration, such as "friend or foe." Kennedy uses the metaphor of a tiger to represent communism. Kennedy used chiasmus: "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate." Kennedy uses anaphora, the repetition of beginnings: "All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet." Kennedy uses antithesis, the presentation of two contrasting ideas. The ideas are balanced by a word, a phrase, a clause, or paragraphs: "[A]sk not what your country can do for youÑask what you can do for your country."
