"(Henry, 89) Henry uses several rhetorical questions on the issues and uses a short answer to response them. It clearly shows that the action that they took before for getting freedom was useless under British's rude control. Last but not least, Henry emphasis the importance of freedom. "Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Henry ends his speech with this famous quote. He indicates that he'd rather die for his country than living without freedom. He repeats the importance of freedom and accentuates it in the last…

    A: Aye, Sir, that is where you are wrong, although Britain has sinned against us, and King George III is a tyrant, simply declaring our freedom is the solution. If we go to war, it will be a short war in which we will die, and a dead man can not fight for his so called “freedom”. You would rather die than live this life which we are our own nation, then you hold the wrong beliefs.…

    War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength. These three phrases may contradict everything that you know and have been taught, but in the “negative utopia” of George Orwell’s novel 1984 these are the slogans of the Party and of Big Brother which governs Oceania (modern day England). This society suppresses all free thinking, free enterprise, and all other freedoms. George Orwell predicts that the world will come to this if someone does not stand up to the dominant society. This someone is Winston Smith, the thoughts and actions of Winston in 1984 place him against the Party, their views, and Big Brother.…

    When giving a speech a speaker must be able to connect with his audience, the speaker wants his/her speech to be easy to follow and easy to understand. It is for those specific reasons that speakers purposely put in lots of logos, pathos, and ethos into their speeches so that the audiences can connect emotionally, ethically, and intellectually with what they are talking about. A particular speech that uses many examples of pathos, logos, and ethos is The Great Arsenal of Democracy given by President Roosevelt on December 29, 1940. Throughout the speech President Roosevelt uses excessive amounts of pathos to connect with his people emotionally. He plays on their pride, fear, and the feelings of shame. He uses logos to express the facts and reasoning behind why the American people should help the British. The president knows that his people won’t go on blind faith; they need facts and reasoning to help the British. It is also because of the knowledge that the American won’t go blindly into war just to help, that he also puts lots of ethos into it to appeal to their ethical side. FDR wants the American people to see him as a strong leader who has a plan, as well as; the best interest for his people in mind. He is truthful and honest with them and lays down the line that if they don’t help the UK that America will be in even greater danger if the UK was to fall to the Nazis. It is for the safety of America that the president wants his people to feel emotionally, ethically, and intellectually unified with Great Britain so that by saving them they can save themselves from an even bigger threat down the road.…
