A Rhetorical Analysis Of Bloomberg's Speech By Michael Bloomberg

Bush uses many devices such as pathos when he repetitively talks about what the tragedy of what just happened. Bush uses pathos when he says "These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and defeat, but they have failed. Our nation is strong"(Bush 7-9). Bush uses pathos to get the effect of how the audience feels about the world and our nation. Bush also uses logos when he asks for the audiences prayers "Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened" ( Bush 36-37). Bush does this because he appeals to the audiences belief of god and also their emotion towards all of the people who lost a life or

In order to achieve his purpose, President Bush uses multiple accounts of pathos (emotion) throughout his entire speech to relate to the struggling audience. Notably, Bush uses emotion to assure the audience that they are not alone in the process of healing. He sympathizes with the communities and points out the people that have lost loved ones who “Were in airplanes or in their offices – secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads, Friends and neighbors,” to create a sense of togetherness (Bush 1). Bush lets everyone know that they have the entire support of the government. Bush reiterates, “The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger,” which creates a sense of grief and sadness among the audience (Bush 1). Bush does this ultimately to relate to the audience that is going through a traumatizing period. President Bush uses pathos to help people heal in the wake of a national tragedy, and he uses logos to make sure the people understand the plans of the government.

When looking at the tones of The New York Times, Fox and The Huffington Post I saw different contrasts. The New York Times which is a direct news outlet, had exceptionally positive and peppy tone in the greater part of the articles/recordings about the shooting. The tone of the articles was based on "the diversion must go on" allegorically and truly! Besides, the tone of the articles was more matter of act and breezed over the realities. Interestingly, the Tone of the articles and recordings on Fox News- - the preservationist outlet- - appeared to be more genuine. Likewise, the tone of Fox News appeared to be terrified, there were refreshes consistently and arrangements of what they knew about the shooting. Finally, the tone of Huffington present

This speech makes evident that Pathos is the most important of the three rhetorical appeals, to the point where nearly every example of Pathos and Logos are to some extent, also examples of Pathos. The pulling on emotional chords inspiring individuals to act immediately supports the purpose of rallying a nation together in support of change. Pathos takes precedence in this speech, with Logos and Ethos following.

Stephen Bannon’s speech also seemed to be stemmed in the fear of change. He believes that the cultural globalization of the world return to the same leadership as the end of the Victorian era. At this time, the socioeconomic rules of the Church of England and the Catholic Church set the world standard for trade, globalization, and technology transfer. With that came the cultural influences of the Christian Faith spreading across the world. Bannon claims that ever since that has changed, the world has become a barbaric place. Stating that, “We’re children of Barbarity. This will be looked at almost as the new dark age.” Similar to the clergy, Bannon uses historical events such as World War II and interprets the fighting between countries as the fight between the Judeo-Christian West and atheists. Bannon declares Judeo-Christian

At the Democratic National Convention, Khizr Khan delivered a powerful speech attacking Trump’s immigration policy. Khan argued that Trump’s proposed plan of temporarily banning Muslims would have prevented his family from entering the United States. Khan allegated that Trump "sacrificed nothing and no one". He also questioned if Trump has read the Constitution, saying that there should be liberty and equality.

The 44th president of the United States of America, Barack Obama, in his speech, his 2009 inauguration, describes his plans for his term in office, as well as his belief that if we follow the ideals of our founding fathers, that we will be able to accomplish anything. Obama’s purpose is to explain to the American people that with the right ideas, we can do anything as a country. He adopts a patriotic tone in order to draw pride from his fellow Americans. Obama pulls Fear, calls upon Pathos, and uses Patriotism to get support from the nation in allowing his changes.

"Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom," George W. Bush. When America's hope was demolished, Bush addressed America in a confident, optimistic, tone. After hardships, involving the country, the people seek guidance and answers from the president. Bush's speech was full of emotion, and his purpose was to give hope to Americans who were in distress and swamped with fear. "Freedom and fear are at war." Through Bush's speech, he frequently uses figurative language and this is just one example.

Within the first paragraph it says, “He had even vowed not only to “bomb the sh-t” of the Islamic State fighters in Syria but also to “Take out their families” – another likely war crime.” This would not sit well with some people, some people’s morale conscious would not want this to happen. Just after that it say, “he made his next move, an extraordinary call to bar all Muslims from entering the U.S, including tourists and business travelers, a direct challenge to the nation’s constitutional right to the free exercise of religion.” Banning a certain group from the United States because of their religion I like saying someone cannot come into your house because they are a different skin color, it is just

Donald Trump and the revival of the American state: The president of United States on board with the Americans on key issues

At the Republican National convention in July of 2016, Donald Trump secured the Republican Nomination for President of the United States. After he was further into the national spotlight as one of two major remaining candidates for president, he had an opportunity to use his increasing number of supporters to further appeal to undecided voters as a viable option, and also had a larger stage to make U.S. voters aware of his opinions and policies. Donald Trump’s Nomination speech uses his larger platform effectively to appeal to fear and patriotism in order to rally his immediate audience, while trying to present himself as a more prepared candidate with his appeals to empathy and logic.

During Bloomberg’s speech, there are several incidents where Bloomberg contradicts himself. On page 1 line 3 it says as followed;

He says, ““I don’t have to tell you how many are still denied their basic rights… who must live a lie to keep their jobs, or who are afraid to walk the street, or down the hall at school” and this is when he starts building the emotional connection with his audience. This is when first his audience see pathos, but at the same time he is encouraging them to fight for the gays rights and to give them a better treatment. Obama said. “I said I would never counsel patience; that it wasn’t right to tell you… that it was right to tell African Americans to be patient in the fight for equal rights a half century ago” in other words he is using the pathos appeals to support his opinion and let people know or to rethink how fighting in a civic movement would be significant later. The way Obama express himself to support his claims are extremely under the rhetorical appeals ethos and pathos by providing the explanation of actions that back then were not a completely success but that now have a significant impact into the community.

During the 2008 election, Barack Obama had a lot on his plate to deal with as he was in the running for becoming the president and his speech could have made or broken his campaign. Throughout his speech, he went to address the topic of racial inequality and how it had broken America and divided us in a time where we really needed to not divide, but come together. He also made this speech to address the comments Reverend Wright, his pastor, had claimed about him and put all unease to rest. Throughout this speech, he wished to create a more perfect union for the USA and his speech held words and phrases that spoke out to everyone who heard his speech then or even will hear his speech now in the present or in the future.

A vast majority of political speeches are most likely to put you to sleep, especially if you are reading them. Your eyes begin to get drowsy as they scan from one meaningless word to another, and before you know it, your mind starts to wander off topic. Unlike many politicians, Donald Trump’s Republic Nomination Acceptance speech does not make you want to have an exciting dream (Hilary Clinton’s speeches do). In order to not lull his audience to sleep, Trump utilizes rhetoric writing in his speech. Rhetoric writing focuses on different uses of persuasive communication (Praxis pg. 6), and thus has the audience read rhetorically and contribute to the conversation. There are three main types of rhetoric persuasion; logos, ethos, and pathos (Praxis pg.13). Logos utilizes logic, it is logical that a business man like Trump would be able to run a successful country. Ethos persuades the audience by using credibility. In Trump’s speech, the audience is listening because he is a credible presidential candidate. Perhaps most importantly, Trump uses pathos which focuses on the emotions of his audience. Trump engages the audience and pulls them out of their aloof mood through his strategic rhetoric arguments. We will also examine the rhetorical situation in depth. The rhetorical situation consists of the author, the audience, and the purpose of a text. Rhetoric reading will help you better understand a text by knowing the audience,
