Excellent question, Piseth! It depends on the device. Anaphora and subtle metaphors are great in academic writing because they help structure complex arguments and make them memorable. However, Rhetorical Questions are often discouraged in formal essays because they can seem too conversational or assume too much about the reader's perspective. Know your audience! 🎓
