    Patrick Henry’s argument on declaring independence on Great Britain and going to war was an inspiring speech that has shined a new light on the subject of whether to declare independence or stay loyal to a country that has done us more harm than good and has ultimately led me to become a rebel. I have become a rebel for two main reasons, our petitions that they have not noticed were an attempt at peace and the mistreatment from the last ten years. To start, petitions had not been productive whatsoever. When Britain had done something that had made us miserable, we decided to meet in the middle and make peace with Britain though petitions. Unfortunately Britain had ignored and disregarded us and our petitions, and instead, had sent us harm and…

    Henry was using his meaningful speech that arises from his spirit to convey more trust to his followers. This speech was a good example to show how Henry and all other strong feudal rulers in this era used their strength and unique personalities to amaze and persuade but not to force their people to become their followers. The unique and the highly effective speech and the thoughts of Henry v shows how open were individuals in Elizabethan era about expressing themselves to reveal social or political viewpoints.…

    The speech I chose was on September 9, 1997 from Queen Elizabeth II after Princess Diana’s death . The speech was more of an informal speech of her willingness to open herself up to the people of England during this great tragedy. The speech was effective in giving the queen a chance to show her compassion during the mourning of Princess Diana and this softened her image to the British people. The speech was something the public would not have been familiar with. The British thought Queen Elizabeth had an estranged relationship with the princess. I didn’t see any research in this speech. I do believe it was pressure that drove the queen to a public speech.…

    Her reassuring motherly tone is emblematic of her love for her people. She formulates her speech in a very humble way that again makes her subjects more willing to believe in her than if she aggressive. She puts her people’s well-being before her own and to have a leader so unselfish, humble, and caring makes her endearing to her subjects. In the line, “My heart was never set on worldly goods, but only for my subjects’ good,” Elizabeth also does not give the impression that she knows everything but instead chooses to acknowledge if she makes a mistake (338). This humility provides her leadership with more credibility, and this is not one of the first traits that would come to mind when describing a king’s traits. This humility provides her leadership with more credibility, although it is a trait that king’s do not typically demonstrate. Yet again she balances strong and soft characteristics to get her subjects under her control. She does not keep them on their knees for too long and treats them equally while still exhibiting power in her words and her divine right to rule so as to be taken seriously as a leader even though she is not a…

    The common purpose of revolutionary speeches during the time of Colonial America is to persuade the common people to become fully independent from the crown. Henry would largely appeal to the listener or readers emotions because that is a big driving force for a lot of people. Henry would reach the rest of the crowd or solidify and concrete his ideas by providing logical details to persuade people. One of the biggest arguments you will see come up is that we have tried to resolve the problem peacefully with Britain but they refuse to cooperate with the colonies, Henry also makes the argument that if we submit to the crown then it will not be like before it will be worse because we will lack any freedoms. Henry in his literature as well as his speeches would constantly try to…

    I’m seeing the same thing every day. Them not wanting to go to war. Why would any one man want this? I see the world being able to become a better place if we did go to war. I blame England for this horrendous and tragic time in our country. I will speak freely about my beliefs, I do have that right. Maybe, just maybe these gentlemen here will have a sense of mind and agree upon my ideas. We are the future to our country, and we need to break away from England, the war is the right way to go. We need our independence and freedom!…

All repeated to gain suspense from the audience as well as emphasising his themes of equality and justice. King says them with such authority and power to further drive home the importance of these themes. Using his voice to create a sense of urgency about the issue.…

    I believe that the Gettysburg Address was a turning point in the Civil War because the Confederacy lost the Battle of Gettysburg from a military standpoint. Many reasons were suggested, but one of the main reasons was mental. It was General Lee's only hope to win a big victory in Northern territory, but he lost it, and therefore the morale went down. Lee had to go from offensive to defensive.…

    Right after George Washington read the Crisis #1 written by Thomas Paine, all of his troops headed right off to war with light hearts and bright faces. During this time period the colonists were losing the war and things weren’t going so well. When we were at our lowest point President George Washington used this speech to motivate the soldiers to be better. In the Crisis #1, pathos is the most persuasive technique used because Thomas Paine was trying to motivate the soldiers by instilling guilt in them.…
