George W. Bush Addressing the nation after the 9/11 attacks George Bush begins the speech with a solemn address and informs the people of America about the tragic events that unfolded. The aim of this speech was to reassure the public that they are now safe and the perpetrators will be brought to justice. The use of inclusive pronouns‚ such as ‘we’ and ‘our’‚ is just one of the ways in which he builds a sense of unity and togetherness with the audience. He makes it feel like he is equal to them

The tone of Wiglaf’s speech is accusatory‚ critical‚ but whimsical at times because he reminds them of times in the Mead Hall when they promised to serve Beowulf with their lives.

The speech I selected was Susan Cain- The Power of Introverts. I think the speaker (Susan) was very professional‚ appealing‚ confident‚ and her tone of voice was perfect not too loud or not to low. The speech she was relating to the audience was about introverts and she also wrote a book about Introversion that actually took her seven years to write.

This emotional blackmail is evident is all pieces of his work and of his government. Context: It was written as accurate manuscripts of speeches given by W.M Hughes. Since Hughes was for conscription there was bias towards conscription.

Hughes mentions things about how many soldiers that other countries are sending and that Australia is failing to send as many troops
