What rhetorical device does the author use to emphasize their point in the passage below?
In a short speech to a volunteer clean-up crew, the organizer says, "We pick up one bottle, then another, then another—until the shoreline looks like itself again." She repeats "then another" to mimic the steady rhythm of the work. The organizer also uses a brief contrast: "The mess arrives quickly; the repair arrives patiently." She ends by thanking volunteers for choosing "the unglamorous heroism of small actions."
