To begin, Roosevelt’s strong use of language, which is seen throughout the speech, creates an emotional response among his audience and exemplifies the way he uses appeals to pathos
• Chapter 10: Eleanor Roosevelt: Ordinariness and Extraordinariness, pg. 183-202 Eleanor Roosevelt was a strong, independent, and intelligent woman, especially of her time. During that time, women just aspired to become good supportive housewives for her husband and children. I think that Eleanor Roosevelt played a key role in breaking the limiting boundaries of the gender roles. She created her own leadership position that inspires others purely through persuasion.
Eleanor toured throughout the United States hearing the people out and making note of the things she as First Lady need to help them with. One of the groups helped by Eleanor was the African Americans who she fought in many ways to obtain equality for. One of the ways she fought for African American equality was with WWII legislation. Other group Eleanor helped was the one of artist, writers, musicians, and actors that she saw weren’t getting paid enough for their talent. Eleanor cared about all the people and even road tripped through Great Britain, Australia, South Pacific, and Army camps in the United States during WWII boosting troops
Burke does this by telling the story of Roosevelt’s life, and how key occurrences in her life made her the woman that we know today. Burke recounts Roosevelt’s story all the way to before Roosevelt was married to her cousin, Theodore Roosevelt. Burke notes that many esteemed colleagues of her husband would go on to pay her high praise. One such compliment was paid by France Perkins, who Burk quotes as saying “…impressed by Eleanor’s
Petrov went to Australia in 1951, under the influence of the Soviet Union. Their job was to watch over Soviet Citizens and to prevent them from defecting against the Union and their country and also to try and find out background information about the Australian Political Parties, but instead of watching Soviet Citizens and preventing them from defecting against the Soviet Union, ironically, Vladimir himself defected the Union because the ASIO started receiving information about Vladimir Petrov being a spy for the Union. DONE Vladimir Petrov was afraid to go back to Russia after working in Canberra as a diplomat, at that time, Stalin was in power in Russia and he was assassinated, this scared Petrov and made him not want to return to Russia in fear of what happened to Stalin might happen to him as well. He also did not see what future Russia had to offer him if he returned to Russia after being caught as a spy by the
Former President Barack Obama delivers an inspiring speech dedicated to one of the most well-known civil rights activists, Rosa Parks. As Obama addresses Parks in the National Statuary Hall of the United States Capitol building he uses comparison and repetition to convey Parks’ bravery and perseverance, as well as using biblical references to demonstrate what Rosa Parks has taught us and how she has helped change society for the better. Obama’s main purpose in giving this speech was to convey the power of Parks' actions and how they affected so many to follow in her footsteps. He not only wanted to recognize Rosa Parks’ actions but to also spread awareness of how to rebuild the foundation of prosperity and guide people on a path to less discrimination
In the month of April in 1906, the realization that the nation was growing faster than the government was all to real (okayfey). Monopoles were influencing Americans negatively and the federal and State powers could do nothing about it. The rich had control of almost all the wealth in the United States, and the middle class was not happy about it. They were in a cage match that was only going to end in bloodshed and an unsettled dispute. That being said, President Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt was left between all of this to be the intermediary.
Theodore Roosevelt, in his compassionate letter to his son “The Proper Place for Sports” (1903), implies that football or sports in general shouldn’t take priority over more urgent responsibilities. Roosevelt supports his opinion by incorporating insightful historical events, acknowledging the potentially reasonable opposing view, and implementing compelling anaphora. His purpose is prevent his son, Ted, from completely being engulfed by his demanding dream of joining his school football team in order to convince him to focus on other vital duties, such as schoolwork. Roosevelt adopts a sympathetic tone (“I am proud of your pluck, and I greatly admire football… But the very things that make it a good game make it a rough game”) aimed to his
This affirms that people trusted Roosevelt and wrote to her about how their civil rights were obstructed. In “My Day” she wrote from the ideas and perspectives of the people. Roosevelt dedicated much of her time to thousands of newspapers to get her point across to the world. She published six books, held speeches, traveled many miles and held her own press conferences. The media finally decided to employ women reporters and to put more of a look into a women's current life and conflicts (“Great Depression and New Deal” 3 ).
Eleanor Roosevelt spoke at the 1936 District of Columbia Library Association Dinner on April 1st, and she gave her speech, “What Libraries Mean to the Nation”. Roosevelt’s speech emphasized the need of public access to books and libraries across the nation. She used her position as the President’s wife, and her passion for education and books to appeal to the primary audience at the Library Association dinner. However, she addresses her secondary audience, rural and urban America, multiple times throughout the text. Roosevelt relied heavily on pathos, which was influenced by her use of syntax and diction, to persuade the audience that books and libraries are needed for the success of the nation.
In President Roosevelt’s speech, there are multiple rhetorical devices that can get a point across. Using these rhetorical devices, the audience may be able to become swayed by the main message being expressed. The goal of a speech is to catch the audience’s attention greatly and persuade them to gain similar beliefs on whatever is being spoken of. In Roosevelt’s speech, the mood expresses a ray of hope yet a feel of strictness. One rhetorical device used by Roosevelt is personification.
Eleanor Roosevelt was as much of a political figure as her husband. She stood up for the nation in a time of trouble - pressed for the establishment of fundamental rights for all types of Americans, at times when they themselves were forgotten by the country. And, although she had passed at the time of this speech, First Lady Claudia Johnson seeks to immortalize her memory. Throughout, Johnson uses not only anaphora, but also defines a sense of 'true morality' through quotes from authorities, showing how Eleanor's actions abide to this ultimate selflessness. Johnson then finishes her speech, extending her audience to all of humanity through a call to action to keep Roosevelt's memory alive by standing up for what is right.
A persuasion technique used by many writers and speakers is the use of rhetoric. Rhetoric is the art of effective speaking or writing. Historical figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Jimmy Valvano and Barack Obama effectively use rhetoric throughout their famous speeches as a persuasive technique to inform their audiences on their main points and to urge their audience on how important their topic is. Franklin D. Roosevelt uses rhetoric such as antithesis, epistrophe, anadiplosis, allusion, and pathos in his “Four Freedoms”. He uses this rhetoric to get his points across and to persuade his audience of these points.
Theodore Roosevelt uses logos throughout his speech. He uses it to show that he knows what he is doing and using his intelligence to convey that he is the right person to lead the United States. When he says, “Upon the success of our experiment much depends, not only as regards our own welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind,” it makes us think and feel that he knows what he is talking about, reassuring why he will be a good president. His logos is also shown when he talks about the Republic of the days with Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Bringing this into the speech shows that he knows his history on the US and knows that they did great things for the country, showing that he will also do great things.
Eleanor Roosevelt, with her informal speech, the Adoption of the Declaration of Human Rights (1948), explains her opinion on the importance of the declaration and how we need to treat freedom has a right not a privilege. Eleanor supports her speech by using euphemism, apostrophe, and anadiplosis. Eleanor's purpose for the speech is to address the United Nations about human rights and its importance in the world. She formally addresses this speech to the United Nations, World War II victims, and all victims in the world. Eleanor was born October 11, 1884 has Anna Eleanor Roosevelt in New York, New York.
