ask not what your country can do for your figure of speech?
chiasmus
it was also in his inaugural address that john f. kennedy spoke his famous words, "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." this use of chiasmus can be seen even as a thesis statement of his speech – a call to action for the public to do what is right for the greater good. (this appears to be an elegant rephrasing of franklin d. roosevelt's acceptance speech at the 1936 democratic national convention: ""to some generations much is given. of other generations much is expected. this generation of americans has a rendezvous with destiny."")
