In the concluding passage of "Between the World and Me" Ta-Nehisi Coates employs many rhetorical devices in order to portray the  poor treatment from white folk and the  sense of black power that unified them through it. Of these devices he focuses on a strong sense of allusion. Throughout this passage Coates connects the destruction that the white people have committed on this planet to the way they treat black people. BY stating "But the Dreamers have improved themselves, and the damming of seas for voltage, the extraction of coal, the transmuting of oil into food, have enabled an expansion in plunder with no known precedent" he alludes that white people have gone greedy and take anything they can.

Since the book was supposed to be a letter to his son, Coates really emphasizes his ideas about how he needs to know he is worth everything. The power of the black community can't be tarnished if he doesn't allow it to affect him. Coates generalizes everything happening around him to give his son a better idea of what to expect, it's his love.

In the final passage of Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates uses emotional appeals to the oppression that Black people have faced in America to assert a pessimistic view that this oppression will not stop unless the oppressors face some struggles themselves. Coates argues that the “plunder” that white people have inflicted against Black bodies has become a “habit and addiction” of white people, and that they will “inevitably plunder much more.” Coates continues to explain that, because of this “habit” that white people have formed, if they were to “reap what they had sown,” they could not do so without forcing the Black community to “reap it right with them.” Here, Coates is comparing the inexperience of white people in relation to the struggle and fragility of life, as well as their historic habit of using Black bodies to reach their industrial and societal goals, to assert that white people will never stop this habit of oppression unless they, too, face the struggles and fragility of life.

In Ta-Nehisi's final passage, Coates emphasizes the extreme hardships that black people continuously face every day, and tries to convey to his son the realities of growing up black. He demonstrates this through the use of strong emotions and intense comparisons. Coates writes, "The Earth is not our creation. It has no respect for us." This reveals the discontent the black people feel in society because they don't feel accepted. They're treated as if they're from a different planet like aliens. They do belong on this Earth, but they want to feel like they do. With all this oppression, Coates describes to his son, "the noose around the neck of the earth."

In the final passage of Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates writes an enlightening cant to define the power and struggles of the African American people. Coates explains how black power is an acknowledgement of past injustices as well as a celebration of the resilience of their race through a repetitive mention of the American dream.

In the last passage of Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates emphasis the power of the black community in order to encourage his nephew to keep fighting against America's racist society. Coates states that "they made us into a race. We made ourselves into people"(). Coates purposefully creates a good and bad side in order to create an image of battle in his nephews mind. By creating this image Coates is showing how powerful the black community is and how hard they've fought. African Americans have gone through unimaginable horrors and yet they've still been able to flourish into a beautiful, human community rather than a group of people defined by their race.

In the final passage of Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates uses rhetorical strategies, such as allusion, to show what the black community really is and the power they hold.

In the final passage of Ta-Nehisi Coates' Between the World and Me he utilizes personal experiences relating to ghettos and hardship in order to show the audience the "Dreamers" have to struggle and change on their own in order for them to give up the concept of race. Coates' own experiences are pivotal to his core beliefs and were essential in helping him realize that race is nothing more than a construct. With this he says, "The Dreamers will have to learn to struggle themselves, to understand that the field for their Dream, the stage where they have painted themselves white, is the deathbed of us all." The "Dreamers" are the whites who have taken America for granted, but Coates does not say this as to abandon them; rather, he says this from his own personal experiences of hardship that helped open his eyes. The only way for someone to develop an empathy from which to grow is from experiences, like Coates', of "Through the windshield I saw the mark of these ghettos...and I felt the old fear." The "Dreamers" in his audience most likely have never felt the uneasy fear he did. Coates understands this and thus writes that the dreamers need to fight for themselves. In turn, the audience should feel as if they can't relate to Coates sentiments, which then should allow the audience to make the connection that their own lack of these atrocities is why Coates understands that race does not define him and while they believe race is major factor is who they are.

In the final passage of Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me, Coates uses emotional appeal and repetition to reiterate the idea that the Dreamers and the world will not help the black community, and so they must continue to persevere and empower themselves. Coates states in the passage, "The Earth is not our creation. It has no respect for us" to solidify the idea that the our world itself is not aware of race, nor does it care for it, so his son and the black community as a whole must "Struggle for wisdom. Struggle for the warmth of the Mecca". This struggle is the neverending fight for the empowerment of black people in society, and the constant achievement in the name of all who struggled before them.

In the final passage of Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates compares racial differences to environmental problems through the use of comparing universal experiences and nostalgia. By the imagery of "hopscotch squares" gives the audience a reflection to their childhood however the "needles, vials" that litter these parks. This is an upsetting image of children playing in a hazardous park, however this is only seen in the poor communities. While Coates makes the connection of the exploitation of slaves to the exploitation of the earth, "Dreamers to plunder not just the bodies of humans but the body of the Earth itself," it is made clear that as we do not respect the earth as our own, we also doesn't respect the poor, black communities. Society sees themselves as superior to other which leads to control and disrespect of others.

In his passage of Between the World and Me, Coates uses rhetorical strategies such as allusion to prominent black figures to express an ode to black power and triumph over their struggles. Coates refers to black figures and how they have been adopted by the dreamers in saying "Mobb Deep is what they holler in boldness, and Isley they hum in love". This however, ultimately serves the purpose of demonstrating the plunder of  black bodies, and how the black community alone has created for themselves something more as Coates goes on to say "Aretha is the last sound they hear before dying. We have made something down here". These real tangible examples give the reader something to grasp onto. In this way Coates uses allusion to tear down the mentality of the dreamers and uplift the power of the black community.

Coates seems to gain some sense of sympathy from the readers in regards to the poor treatment of African Americans using pathos. In the beginning of the book, he talks about how his son was crying after the news got out about the murder of Mike Brown. Coates tells his son that "This is your country, this is your world, this is your body and you must find some way to live within all of it." (11-12). Coates begins to go back to that time when his son was crying and instead of comforting his son, he tells him the time when his parents told him about the world they live in now. As he continues explaining, he says that there is no point in covering up the racism that is in America. Coates also gains a sense of compassion when he talks about one of his closest friends who was murdered due to the color of his skin. Coates would usually describe the cops as "pigs", but due to his usage of pathos throughout the book, he gains a more sympathetic audience when relating to racism and how it corrupted and damaged America.

In the final passage of his novel, "Between The World and Me", Ta-Nehisi Coates uses industrial jargon to characterize the Dream and contrast the lively struggle of the African American community with the mindless persistence of the white American Dream. As Coates describes the people who accept and live in this dream he writes that they authored the "mechanized death of our ghettos" and "engineer their own forgetting". Machines feel no empathy and lack common sense, so by painting the Dream as a manufacturer, he emphasizes the futility of believing in it. Further, he states how the Dream was "caged by the limits of horsepower and wind" implying that this Dream, which was largely made possible the the prosperity of white America through the industrial revolution, was once caged by its lack of resources. It also alludes to the cages which kept slaves as resources, and how the trade of industrialism for human lives was hypocritical. Ultimately, this encourages his son to understand that the Dream is a machine without a mind and thus not worthy of reasoning with, and it encourages his readers who are trapped in the dream to question the ruthless ideal which they strive to achieve.

In the last passage of Between the World and Me Coates personifies the Earth into a living being in order to demonstrate the harmful actions the Dreamers' are enacting. As Coates mentions how Dreamers are becoming widespread with the introduction of new technologies, he asserts that they are now able to harm more than just people but Earth itself. This is a dangerous game that the people who are ignorant of their actions are doing. The Earth has "no respect for us" and "no use for us". There is no reason that Earth should let us reside on itself. So if the Dreamers' were to continue living they must take care of the planet that they are living in. This makes living in the world a privilege that is awarded to them rather than a born right, and like most privileges they are earned.

In the final paragraph of Between the World and Me, Ta-Nehisi Coates uses extensive repetition of specific words and phrases related to the oppression faced by the black community in order to cement the idea that black people must celebrate where they come from and continue to have hope, rather than hatred, for the Dreamers into the mind of his son, as well as a broader audience which may contain Dreamers themselves. In the first half of the paragraph, Coates harps on the importance of struggling, urging his son to "Struggle for wisdom . . . Struggle for your grandmother and grandfather, for your name." He repeats this word so many times that it becomes his strongest message. He has such a deep desire for his son to understand that he must struggle to remember where he came from, who got him where he is, the community that made him through the hardships he faced. Coates goes on to tell his son "do not struggle for the Dreamers. Hope for them." He wants his son to know that the struggle of the black community is not for the benefit of the white community; the struggle is meant to acknowledge the strength of black power. Hope for the Dreamers will allow them to find their own struggle and discover for themselves the oppression they have put on the black community. Coates goes on to relive the "ghettos I had seen in Chicago . . . the ghettos where my mother was raised." Once again, he repeats a specific word, "ghettos," to illustrate the past that the black community must recognize and celebrate. He requests that their ancestry must be honored, and urges his son, and anyone else who may be reading, to understand what the black community has faced in the past and struggle to keep fighting for a better world.

In the ending of Ta-Nehisi Coates book, "Between the World and Me" he uses repetition with the idea of the  "American Dream"  to strengthen his thoughts that the dream is only reachable for white people as it was built on the backs of the Black people. Coates uses this as another way to show the differences between the two races to his audience, including his son and the black community, as a way to not fight for the cliche "American Dream" but to fight for their dream. "Dreamers will have to learn to struggle themselves" ... "But do not struggle for the dreamers". This repetition and juxtaposition between showing how black people will have to struggle and how no one can feel sorry for it, expresses how much harder black people have to work and how adding the idea that no one is empathetic shows how much stronger this race is, to that of the coddled "American dream". Coates makes sure that his son knows to fight for his dream and not that of any others, because it is so known that Black people are not gifted with anything, which is why it is so important to see the difference in dreams between white and black people. One is survival and the other is leisure.
