13 Going On 30 uses many rhetorical devices, one of which is Alliteration when they have Jenny say, "30, Flirty and Fabulos." Flirty and Fabulos both start with "f's." It also uses irony, because she gets what she want, but it turns out that she ends up hating herself for it. This movie uses more pathos than anything, it applies to girls and their feeling on how they want to be that popular girl, and that every girl wants to be. But it also shows how at the same time girls want to just be themselves, have fun, and not care what anyone thinks.
