1. Describe the type of speech--informative, persuasive, celebratory. Why? I would say overall this speech was celebratory with persuasive tones throughout. This speech was made to commemorate and celebrate the accomplishments of what has been done so far in the United States, while urging for action from each party and member of states in order to make a better America. Additionally, this speech focused a lot on values and Leader Abrams was able to fluidly move from past, present, and future throughout the speech. These are traditionally qualities that are included in a celebratory related speech. With the urging and usage of statistical and emotional appeal to take action, it makes it more persuasive. 2.

Logos: Throughout the speech, but especially towards the end, Leader Abrams uses multiple bills (example: the “Republican tax bill” she mentions) and systems used throughout the nation in order to back up her claims and build on her argument. She discusses how one particular bill is not suitable for one type of audience (in this example, I’m talking about the “Republican tax bill” in her words). Ethos: In the first few paragraphs of her speech, she talks about how the idea of community has driven her to “become an attorney, a small business owner, a writer, and most recently, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia.” This gives her credibility to speak on multiple topics and gives the audience an idea of who she is, and why she was chosen to deliver this speech. Ethos: She talks about how she led the Democratic Party in the Georgia House of Representatives. This gives her credibility to talk about the government and the happenings that involve the government. Pathos: She uses her story about growing up in the lower/middle class to appeal to the audience emotionally, to create sympathy and empathy with the audience who may share a similar …show more content…
In the first story, she recalls how she went to go pick up her father who was walking home in the rain, about 30 miles away from their said home. When questioned about the lack of coat he had brought previously to work, he tells them he lent it to a homeless person, because he knew someone was looking out for him. Abram was able to tie this story to the values and lessons she believes is important when it comes to the United States. This story has the ability to impact those in the audience who had similar experiences due to growing up– or living in– the lower and middle class society. It may impact those outside of these mentioned classes, who desire to help and want to improve the community they live in. This story has the potential to impact and urge the audience to follow the actions of Abram’s father, and be more kind to those in one’s
Another example of the author using logos in his speech is when he states “And that shirt I hadn’t worn in years? It’s time to let it go.” This quote uses logic to persuade the audience to get rid of items and clothes that they don't wear or use anymore. This quote is also an example of Syntax, as it uses two simple sentences to get Hill’s point across to the audience in an easy

Introductory Paragraph Bernie Sanders' presence was very calm but aggressive and it helped him get his point across during the speech. Bernie in the speech addresses right for different individuals, poverty, and events happening right now that require everyone's attention. Bernie Sanders' speech was effective and informative because of the connection he made with most of the audience, his morals, and the knowledge he has on the topic spoken about. Body Paragraph 1 (Connection w/ audience) From the beginning of the speech, he connected with most audience members which benefited him throughout the speech.
The form of strong presentation and background information is referred to as the rhetorical device, logos. Mrs, Roosevelt displays these characteristics through the whole majority of her moving speech to the public. The quote, “ We know that we have to work together and we have to progress,” presented in paragraph 2, shows a strong amount of assurance in the overall goal to be followed; because of the way she presented this quote, it induced the guaranteed value of her
Finally, she uses ethos, which is the appeal to credibility. She used logos, pathos and ethos in hope of persuading her audience to vote for her as the next president. Firstly, Chisholm use logos to add logic and reasoning to her speech. An example of logos that she said was, “I do not intend to offer to you the tired and glib
I speak as a woman. I speak as a United States senator. I speak as an American.” By saying this, Chase was able to use her own personal experience to show credibility and trust in her argument. Chase also uses ethos in this speech to empathize with the audience and show that she shared the same concerns as they did, and was speaking on their behalf.
The world has developed in many areas such as in gender, sexual, and racial rights. Shirley Chisholm stands as one of these individuals in history that has paved a path to equality. Her Presidential bid, delivered on January 25, 1972, is one moment cemented in history. This paper will analyze that speech by examining her pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos is Greek for an appeal of emotion.
She begins by talking about her college experience of how her own professors and fellow students believed and “always portrayed the poor as shiftless, mindless, lazy, dishonest, and unworthy” (Paragraph 5). This experience shocked her because she never grew up materialistic. She brings up the fact that she is the person with the strong and good values that she has today because she grew up in a poor family. In culture, the poor are always being stereotyped.
A generalization that is constantly made about the poor is that they are lethargic and don 't improve their families life. In the motion picture Poor Kids Brittany , Jasmine and Kaylie families are not apathetic they do all that they could to eat get the opportunity to work and give a spot to their children to rest their heads. These families demonstrate that they are resolved to better their
She displays ethos throughout the speech as well in order to strengthen her credibility. In the middle of the speech she says, “So instead of going to coffee meetings or fluorescent-lit conference room meetings, I ask people to go on a walking meeting, to the tune of 20 to 30 miles a week. It’s changed my life.” This line not only strengthens her credibility as a speaker but also sets an inspirational tone for the audience. It changed her life and it can also change theirs and Merchant does a great job of allowing the audience to acknowledge it.
She becomes aware of the comparisons between her waitress job and management responsibility as well as, management inability to show compassion for employees and customers which includes management is not always will to follow employment regulations. During her investigate people who face poverty she discover the additional problem which create more problems which this realization that poverty is no picnic.

Logos was used when she was trying to express all the harmful aspects the environment faced. On the other hand pathos was used to explain how she is similar to the audience except for her past and experiences. Informal fallacies are used in this speech when she makes the argument personal as she mentions how different life is for her because of her skin color and economical status compared to those of a white wealthier person. The goal of the speech was to inform and persuade the readers to take action when it comes to sustainable development especially in poverty level areas across the country. I do think the speaker achieved the goal, I was hooked from the minute she opened her mouth
She makes sure that the audience is aware that the Democratic Party isn’t perfect, they “have made mistakes” before but they are willing to “admit [their] mistakes” (Jordan). The willingness of the Party to accept their mistakes creates a sense of trust between them and their followers. She also evokes emotion through addressing the mistakes of the Party as being “of the heart” and with good intentions for their followers (Jordan). With this, she gains the sympathy of the audience because she is reassuring them that the Party always has the best intentions.
Growing up in a middle class home meant that times were difficult. Being one of seven children taught her that poverty was no disgrace. As Hook began college, she noticed that almost everyone portrayed the poor as sneaky, lazy, and dishonest. If items went missing in the dorms, the black and Hispanic
