Hillary Clinton Rhetorical Analysis Essay
Hillary Clinton uses her emotional appeal (pathos) by trying to persuade her audience that she has a good heart and that she really does actually care about our country. Majority of that time that she spoke she used the word “We”. This make you feel as if everybody acts as one and that everyone is united together. “What kind of country “(we)” want to be”, “what kind of future “(we’ll)” build”, ““(we)” have to build an economy”, and ““(we)” need new jobs” were all things that came from out of Hillary’s mouth during this debate. She also tries to show her caring emotions by going on to say she knows the difficult choices that people have to face and the stress that it put people under. This gives the people that feeling of someone who understands …show more content…
Hillary said that Donald rooted for the Housing Crisis and that he hoped that it collapsed because then he could buy it and make more money. Which I believe is not something that I would want my president (the person who runs the country) to say or to be proud of. She goes on to remind us that during this particular time nine million people lost their jobs, five million people lost their homes, and thirteen trillion dollars in family wealth was wiped out. Putting it out there to show that this is not something that a person that is a candidate to run a country or any person for that matter should be proud of. Next, she reminds everyone that Donald has been the only candidate that has not released his tax returns. This raised so many questions on why he has not completed this process yet. Is he as rich as he so claims himself to be? Has he payed any of his taxes at all? These questions will remain until he eventually or if he ever does. Then she proceed to bring how Donald Trump had cases about him being sued for racial behavior. Things such as having owned residences but only allowing whites to stay there and making sure his employees knew about his racial system as well by not going against his policy. Donald tried to say he didn't believe Hillary had the proper stamina to be the president of the United

    Hillary and Trump both had very persuasive speeches, they both used the three appeals very differently, like Hillary used the emotional appeal more and Trump used the logical and the ethical appeal more. They both were very well thought out speeches and they both spoke to the delegates at each convention plus the people that were watching on TV. They both made an a point to at least try and use all three rhetorical appeals to be the most persuasive they can be, but in the end, its up to what people in America see fit. Its up to the Americans to go over everything the candidate believes in and what they say in these speeches to decide who would be the better president. Hillary and Trump both have many reasons why they feel they are the best…

    In the New York Times, “Feminism, Hell and Hilary Clinton”, by Frank Bruni discusses how ridiculous the mentality is that if you are a woman you need to vote for Hilary Clinton. He briefly discusses some statements that were made by some very influential women, Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem. Bruni seems to almost mock their opinions that “women are more or less damned if they’re not on Hilary Clinton’s team”. Bruni makes it known that he doesn’t disagree with these statements because he doesn’t like Hilary Clinton based on her gender, but more so on her policies. Bruni is able to use some aspects of ethos and logos in this op-ed, and his relaxed tone throughout makes his writing not only easy to read, but easy to agree with; this all…

    Although Hillary Clinton is the one running for president this time around does she compare to her husband bill Clinton in terms of rhetorical devices in her speeches using ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is the appeal to ethics.It deals with the credablity of the speach. Pathos appeals to the emotions of the audience, and logos appeals to logic, and includes reasonable premise and proofs.…

    Clinton has been content in recent weeks to sit back and let Trump be the news, letting him make his own bold claims and be the focal point of the campaign. But the roles were switched on Thursday. During the speech in Reno, Nev., Clinton went all out. And she almost seemed to take a page out of Trump’s playbook. She used bold claims to paint a dark picture of a Trump who isn't just an unwitting bigot, but rather someone intentionally advocating racist policies in the United States. And not only does she have a valid point on this topic, but many things that has been said by him lean toward him being racist.…

    Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) delivers the student address at Harvard Law School’s 2004 graduation ceremony in the movie Legally Blond. In the film Elle is a misguided student who gets accepted into law school upon false pretenses, merely to get back with her ex-boyfriend. He broke up with her because she was not suitable to be a future Senators wife, he claimed she lacked intelligence and only had her looks to depend on. Everyone’s doubt pushed her to stay determined, confident, and come to the conclusion that she does not need a man to justify her life. She also realizes that passion fuels the ability to become successful. This speech is very effective because of the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos used throughout.…

    Son, I can see clearly that you accompanied the mission, but ours just started. The President, the First and Second Lady, our loved ones in our administration, our families and most of our fellow Americans went through a lot for the past seven years to call the mission accomplished. If we can win wars like we did in the State of South Carolina, then our mission will continue until eternity. Elizabeth, Bernie and I were fighting to be your guest tonight. I am glad I won the coin toss. It's been a long time for you and I. I am agreeing with most of what you have been indicating. You know me well enough, if I don't I will inform you. In fact, I am loving it. Loving it also stands for the Second Lady. As you already know, I have spent decades in and out of the chamber trying to make this great nation of ours, the Land of Peaceful Fighters heaven on Earth.…

    Speaker’s use diction, syntax, and imagery to reflect their tone. In her final argument, Clinton says “After the world watched with horror as the twin towers fell, he called in to a New York TV station, and even on that horrible day when thousands of people lost their lives, he couldn’t stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in Lower Manhattan.” Hillary Clinton's use of words like “horror” and “horrible” sets an apathetic tone. By setting this tone Clinton hopes to show voters how self-centered Donald Trump is. While Clinton strives to prove that Donald Trump was self-centered, Trump ventured to show that Hillary Clinton was crooked. Donald Trump first called Hillary Clinton…

    “The Carnivore’s Dilemma”, an essay by Nicolette Hanh Niman, incorporates rhetorical elements, such as logos, ethos, and rhetorical questions, in an attempt to convince the audience that meat itself is not the root of global warming. Written from a rancher’s point of view, the essay relies on studies and logic to prove itself. Niman starts out with a short acknowledgement that the meat industry has a hand in the increasingly noticeable global climate change. She then quickly changes gears, stating that the studies that show the meat industry is a major player in global warming only take the prevailing methods of producing meat into account and spews facts that show the flip side of the food industry.…

    He tends to mostly mention “crooked Hillary” and speak about the illegals that are in America. Although, he does have the great ability of persuading people into agreeing with him, as he has done so throughout the entire election. He tends to dodge many questions that bring up him disrespecting women, and instead, he would end up mentioning ISIS which would grasp more votes because it would send fear to the American citizens and bring to the attention that America is on the brink of extinction. In this way he is very smart, but so was Hitler, who used the same tactics. At the same time, Hillary’s communication mostly consists of her getting to the point quickly in most issues. She proves that she knows much more about politics and a more broad variety of problems America faces, instead of relying on just ISIS and defeating them. However, she sometimes uses parts of her speaking time to only discuss how incorrect Trump is in his previous statement instead of the topic of…

    Newton Massacre Speech

    Barack Obama gives this speech in front of his people, the democratic people that support him. He kept this speech in the state of Wisconsin and talks about his campaign and his beliefs how to win the American elections in 2008. As I understood he attacks his opponent, the other candidate of Democratic Party, Mrs Hillary Clinton. Obama starts his speech by citing some great historical speeches, by great men that have done the history of America. He cited the phrases of Martin Luther King: “I have a dream”, Jefferson's phrase "all men are created equal", in the Declaration of Independence and other powerful speeches to gives a clear idea that words counts, speeches counts and hope counts. The point is that leaders have a duty to inspire, and that words actually matter. In this great speech he gives a good inspiration to the people who believe to him and who live in America. He’s voice was clear and I think with this speech he gives a ^bad punch^ to Hillary in the elections of Democratic Party. Obama in the middle of the speech also gives some examples of his family in the past, how he was grown in a poor family. His father left him when he was two years old and only by his mothers love and hope he is now there. So for him hope is everything and no one should underestimate the hope. This is the key point how he wants to beat Hillary, by saying this and gives historical arguments and phrases in his favor. In my opinion it’s a good strategy and I also think is good at all. Everyone has hope and everyone wants his dreams to become true, so with Barack Obama you can do it, this is the message. In the end, he also gives a good convincing speech and we can see in the video that democrats that were there becomes very enthusiastic.…

    This speech was geared toward the girls and woman around the world. It was presented at a U.N. Women’s Conference in Beijing. Hilary Clinton spoke about the rights women should receive under human rights. In her speech she used a political approach and expressed a political bias and a gender bias. I recognized a couple rhetorical devices in this speech. The first one that really grabbed my attention was, “It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls. It is a violation of human rights when women and girls are sold into the slavery of prostitution for human greed and the kinds of reasons that are used to justify this practice should no longer be tolerated”. Another one was, “If women have a chance to work and earn as full and equal partners in society, their families will flourish. And when families flourish, communities and nations do as well”. The fallacies I found in this speech was, “As long as discrimination and inequities remain so commonplace everywhere in the world, as long as girls and women are valued less, fed less, fed last, overworked, underpaid, not schooled, subjected to violence in and outside their homes the potential of the human family to create a peaceful, prosperous world will not be realized”…

    On September 5th, 2012 at the Democratic National Convention, in Charlotte, North Carolina, with the crowd roaring and TV commentators gushing, Bill Clinton’s speech, for the nomination of Barack Obama for another term in office, garnered so much attention as well as a great deal of criticism. Some denounced his speech as being too long, others branded it as a “fact-checkers nightmare,” but supporters dubbed it as “vintage” and even nicknamed him “Explainer-In-Chief.” However, if we are to check our partisan preferences at the door and grade his speech it is obvious that Bill Clinton’s speech is a brilliant political theatre. His speech made a strong case for the nomination and election of President Obama that was more compelling than any of the speakers including the case made by the incumbent president himself. It was the speech that President Obama couldn’t give but desperately needed. This political speech alone reveals that Mr. Clinton is gifted with supreme human connection hence earning him another nickname “Bubba”, especially in southern US. There are several rhetorical weapons that he uses from his arsenal to make a strong case and two of the most effective were repetition and humor. In this paper we will shed light on how he uses repetition and humor to convince his audience that Obama deserved another political term in the White House.…
