Concepts of belonging seen in Andrew Ryan's Welcome to Rapture Speech

Good Morning Mrs R and class, after hearing Andrew Ryan’s speech about his underwater metropolis, Rapture, would you kindly think about the kind of man he is just from hearing that speech? Well the idea of this speech is to try and relate to people whom have been restricted by greater powers such as the government, religion and from the time this speech was presented communism. He then goes on to imply that only the hard working and gifted people of the work shall be able to move to rapture, and that being a rapture citizen is to a privilege.
The main purpose of this speech is to reach out to people on the surface and try to get the hard working people to move to his city, as there they shall be given the respect they deserve, and not be wasted. This is a place that Andrew Ryan himself believes to be the place of great growth in both the scientific and artistic flare that his grand city desires. This in a way is a piece of advertisement to let people know who have ‘sweat on their brow’ from a hard day’s work, that there is a place their hard work will be greatly appreciated, even more so then living on the surface.
The target audience of this speech, is once again any hard working man or women, whom has had their talent squandered in any way imaginable and are seeking a place where reward comes to those who earn it.
The main theme of this particular speech, is one of contrasting the negatives of the surface to the positives of life in Rapture. As the speech states out right, that the work the man does on the surface benefits more so to larger powers, whilst the man who done the work is basically forgotten about. Life in Rapture according to the speech is quite the opposite, as the man who does the work shall be rewarded for the ‘sweat of his brow’. Some of the main concepts used in the speech is that on the surface there exists ‘powers’ that take importance over the people, taking things that belong to the working man, whilst such is thing Is non-existent, so to the man whom wants the reward he sweats for rapture is a logical place of residence.
Throughout the speech, Ryan uses a variety of rhetorical devices to help portray the points he is trying to put across to the target audience. During the opening line, a rhetorical question is asked, which is ‘Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow’, this question is then taken from the perspective of how other factions would answer it, however the main effect is to make the listener think about the sort of place Rapture really is, in comparison to life on the surface. The main technique used in the first half is anaphora, as he is repeating the key word ‘no’ at the beginning of eat line. This is used to give the audience the idea that all of these other ‘powers’ are against giving the working man what he deserves. Examples of Antithesis are present in the second portion of the speech, mainly in the line ‘where the great would not be constrained by the small’, this is a comparative of two things of which are completely opposite, this give the idea of those who are great, that they shall be given the opportunity to grow to the heights they wish to.

Thank you Mrs R and class for listening to my speech.
