Jean Chrétien: Passionate Plea For Unity Chrétien’s speech is mainly targeted towards Quebecers wishing to separate from our country. This speech took place prior to the referendum regarding the issue of whether or not Quebec should proclaim its individual sovereignty. Chrétien also recognizes Quebec as a “distinct society” whilst specifying Quebec’s unique language and culture which makes it an admirable community. To bring this all together, Chrétien stresses the beauty in Canadian diversity, generosity, tolerance and respect which is idolized by other foreigners. I appreciated how Chrétien identified and acknowledged Quebecers cries for change and even says that he knows the separatist party will guarantee exactly that.

Linguistics Being supposedly made up on the spot, Noah S. Sweat did not have time to compose an eloquent speech about a controversial topic. He instead spoke a purely unfactual and highly descriptive banter using doublespeak to voice his opinion of whiskey. Both sides of his argument include impactual adjectives to describe the drink. Or as Mr. Sweat would say on line 6, “the devil’s brew,” or on line 12, “the philosophic wine”. Each side of his argument is entirely one sentence long, implying that he emotionally fuels his speech as he works out his thoughts with the audience as one thought flows to the other.
Theodore Roosevelt is considered as one of the most active and energetic Presidents in American history.

Ever since the American Revolution, potential presidents have all been categorized based on what and how they portray themselves to the community. “Temperament” is defined as “the usual attitude, mood, or behavior of a person... ”(Webster Dictionary, 2016), so naturally this concept has been applied to people who want to become a president. There are four general temperaments that are used to categorize presidents. “Guardians, Idealistic, Artisan, and Rational.”

Roosevelt was correct in his comparison of the immediate need for action when inducted to probability of oncoming world war and the perils of an contagion. War starts in one place and then spreads, and can not be avoided by isolation or neutrality because those who started the war most likely don’t care about the wishes of a country they view as more land to be conquered. Contagions start in one place and then spread because disease does not bend to the wishes of those it affects, and can not be avoided by isolation or neutrality because disease has a way of traveling that can not truly be avoided. Was, also must be dealt with as soon as it begins because a small uprising is easier to squash than a huge military power that had already spread to many places.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s State of the Union Address in the year 1942 opened with a powerful start. He remained good in posture, strong verbal skills, gestures and strong eye contact with his audience which goes to show confidence and being in control of your speech (Stephen D. Boyd, 2017). He addressed the Americans, the citizens of the United States before he mentioned anything. He went to show that the President, himself found faith in their spirits and how he was merely proud of his citizens. He presented a powerful statement to his audience by acknowledging them and according to Matt Eventoff, “a statement or phrase can catch the audience’s attention by keeping them guessing as to what you’re about to say next.
Roosevelt states, “...the tempo of modern warfare could bring into our very midst the physical attack which we must eventually expect if the dictator nations win this war” (15). Roosevelt says this in the way he did because at this point in time he didn’t want to physical fight but he knows if the country needs to we will. Roosevelt knows that wars do not solve the problem which is why he simply wanted to aid countries and not physically fight with them, causing the loss of many lives. Roosevelt had four basic freedoms that he wanted to be conserved and saved.
Churchill Diction and Syntax Sir Winston S. Churchill, the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, was a skilled politician as well as a talented military leader. His success in both fields had much to do with his talent for oration; a strong command of language leads to a firm impression on the minds of listeners. One speech that demonstrated his expertise in syntax is The Defense of Freedom and Peace, wherein he pleads for aid against tyranny by using poignant imagery, concepts of camaraderie, and thematically consistent phrasing to sway his audience. The first intention of his word choice, imagery, is consistently accomplished throughout the speech.
The word “dedicated” is mentioned several times throughout the text, which result in a change of meaning. At the beginning of Lincoln's speech, he uses the word “dedicate” as if he were assigning a part of the battlefield to the fallen soliders who fought in the war. Later in the text, Lincoln uses the word dedicate as if it were a moral obligation to complete the cause that the soldiers died
I wish I had a camera to document my father 's reaction to the documentary My Brooklyn. The look of nostalgia shifted constantly from being twisted with anger, disappointment, and regret. I think this article is a great companion piece to the documentary as it talks about Fort Greene and Fulton Mall. It also talks about Spike Lee 's speech briefly, which is an interesting thing to focus on when it comes to Rhetoric. I found his speech quite inspirational, and I felt the same anger he felt with each colorful curse word he used, all though I wish he would have used the other curse words instead of just “motherfuckin”.
Jimmy’s timeless speech; transpired in its time and even now. While I at the time were 3 years old It has been able to reach to me in an older age. Starting from his introduction.
