The room is spinning. It’s hard to get a good look and what or even where the scene is taking place. Finally, the revolution ends on a face. Not a remarkable face. Just an average looking guy in his early twenties with a short brown fair and sad eyes. When the average guy speaks, a moderate Southern drawl tinges his voice. Average Guy: I guess most of y’all don’t know who I am, which is actually the way I kinda’ prefer to come into a company. It’s not that I’m ashamed of my past or anything, I just like to walk into a place with a blank slate. Ain’t that what’s supposed to make this country great? Hell, this is fuckin’ election season I’m sure y’all don’t need to hear anymore about the American Dream, so let me introduce myself, I’m James Edwards. …show more content…

James Edwards: Speakin’ of election season, I swear it is a permanent thing in professional wrestling. All I hear is people talkin’ about what they’ve accomplished in the past, what they are gonna’ accomplish in the future or much the other side is a rancid sack of raccoon shit. That ain’t my style. Never has been and never will be. I’m a pretty straight forward guy that loves what he does for a living, and that’s why I’m here.

Hawley says in sorrowful language, "It's not only the depression and darkness that now shadow so many¨ (Hawley, par 13). While his audience already holds the same values as Josh, this makes the audience feel how impactful the modern world without masculinity is. Shifting the tone, Hawley gives the people hope that there's still time to change this narrative many have. Towards the end of his speech Hawley says that ¨American men are and can be an unrivaled force for good in the world¨ (Hawley, par 17). Hence the honorific language, Hawley follows this with a demanding tone and says the people can change the world for men ¨if we can strengthen them if we can empower them¨ (Hawley, par 17).

The Appalachian working-class could not connect with Obama, because he comes from a completely different social-class. Vance points out that “Not a single one of my high school classmates attended an Ivy League School. Barack Obama attended two of them and excelled at both.

Obama’s use of repetition in his speech makes his praise of John Kerry more powerful and by using the same words in different contexts, he shows that his ideas are important and relevant to all people. For example, “It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire [...] the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant [...] the hope of a millworker’s son [...] the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name [...].” In this passage, the repetition of “the hope” applied to descriptions of different situations conveys the idea that everyone needs hope, and that America is a country built on hope. Obama also uses anaphora to drill certain ideas into the audience’s minds.
