Symploce Combining Anaphora and Epistrophe since the 1570's.
Some of you maybe asking what is Symploce?
Symploce : the combinated use of Anaphora and Epistrophe.
Now that may have confused some of you some more; so lets get to know what the definition of Anaphora and Epistrophe
Anaphora: When a word or words are repeated at the beginning of a sentence. Epistrophe: When a word or words are repeated at the end of a sentence.
Now that you are all acuanted with what my Rhetorics strategies; let's look at some examples of Symploce.
"When there is talk of hatred, let us stand up and talk against it. When there is talk of violence, let us stand up and talk against it."-William Jefferson Clinton
"You want me on that wall - you need me on that wall."- Jack Nicholas
"That which unites us, is greater than that that which divides us."- Al Gore
All of these examples were taken from: "Rhetorical Figures in Sound: Symploce." Rhetorical Figures in Sound: Symploce. N.p., n.d. Web. 29 Sept. 2015.

Now let me show you some original examples.
For the battles lost we cry. For the men we lost we cry.
We run towards victory. We swim towards victory. We will have victory.
If that isn't enough to help you understand, I will leave with a song that has lyrics that have an example of Symploce.
This example also from the same source as the previously used examples.
"I'm not like all of the other girls. I can't take illite the other girls. I won't share it like the other girls."
