Analysis Of Florence Kelley Speech

Luce begins the speech with a lighthearted, humorous tone. This tone helps to set her apart from the audience, as seen when she says, “I ask you only to remember you asked for it!” The humorous tone also helps to persuade the audience into trusting Luce and feel more relaxed and open to listening to her words, which also appeals ethos, “The delicate art of giving an audience hell is always one best left to the

The rhetorical essay has been a tradition in public speaking since Ancient Greece. Meant to persuade an audience to believe an idea or to embrace a way of thinking, public speakers have utilized this technique for centuries to inspire change in those who listen to it. Carrie Chapman Catt's commencement speech to the 1936 graduating class at Sweet Briar College is a speech that exemplifies the key devices and methods of persuasion in rhetoric, as well as inspiring her audience, a girls-only institution of higher learning, to work hard not only to improve their own lives, but to create a world greater than their own for generations to come. Carrie Chapman Catt delivered a highly effective commencement speech using the rhetorical devices logos,

Barbara Jordan was a keynote speaker for the Democratic National Convention in 1976. She mentioned that about 144 years ago that the members of the Democratic Party first met in convention to select a presidential candidate; since then, the democrats have continued to meet once every four years and nominate a presidential candidate. The convention is a continuation of that tradition; but, there is one thing that is something different that night – Barbara Jordan was the keynote speaker. In 1832, no one would have asked Barbara Jordan to deliver the speech, especially if it was a woman. She didn’t want to spend during her speech – having the time to praise the accomplishments of the Democratic and attacking the Republicans – and she didn’t

In 1905, in the United States, some children as young as six years old are working in factories and women aren’t allowed to vote. Florence Kelley is a fiery and inspiring child labor activist and also a suffragette. On July 22, 1905, in Philadelphia, she gives a speech to the National American Women Suffrage Association (NAWSA) to try to rally them to assist her in her main cause which is fixing the child labor system. In her speech where she doesn’t hold back, Kelley lets the audience know why the child labor system is atrocious and why they should get involved. She also tells them the steps that they should take to try to right these wrongs, in convincing their husbands to vote for child labor

Florence Kelley is a social worker and reformer who fights for child labor laws and better working conditions for women. At the National Assembly Women Suffrage Association in Philadelphia on July 22, 1905, Kelley recites a speech about the issue of child labor laws. She uses rhetorical strategies such as repetition of the many negative aspects of child labor through specific examples, criticism of state policies, and emotional appeal. A combination of figures, logic, evidence, and emotional appeal will help convince her audience that child labor is a problem.

Florence Kelley, an active social worker and reformer of the 20th century, rants over the horrendous working conditions kids must endure. She presents this in her speech before National American Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, which provides context and credibility for her argument. Kelley argues clearly of the terrible conditions and work hours kids suffer to bring about her message of, “enlisting the workingmen voters.” This is essentially to free the kids from the disastrous issue through her usage of credibility, empathetic tone to strike the audience, and her usage of examples of their conditions and state rules to support her message and purpose.

I attended Dorothy Roberts' keynote address on March 23, 2017. Her topic of discussion was one I had never considered before. This ties back into the article by Peggy McIntosh on white privelage, we read at the beginning of the semester. White privilege has allowed me to not come in contact with the idea of a particular race being discouraged from reproducing, when they did they were immediately considered unfit parents, being mistreated in the justice system in terms of their reproductive health, etc. In this paper, I would like to mention a few things that particularly stuck out to me in Roberts address and her writing. Black babies were often assumed to be crack babies and when they were victims of drug abuse, there was no help issued,

A Dream Worth Pursuing According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, “A dream is a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind.” Yet, “A goal is a projected state of affairs that a person or a system plans or intends to achieve - a personal or organizational desired end-point in some sort of assumed development.” Though the two are not identical in denotative definition, the widely-accepted connotation of a dream ideally expresses the object of one’s ambition and desire. As Jing-Mei in Joy Luck Club and Susan B. Anthony from her speech “After Being Convicted of Voting in the 1872 Presidential Election” both present the recurring theme of dreams, they also demonstrate how hefty dreams can come with an equally-heavy

Florence Kelley campaigns for stricter child labor law in the U.S., in her speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association (N.A.W.S.A) in 1905, by using emotional appeals, anaphoras, and metonymy to apprehend the N.A.W.S.A attention to the unethical working conditions of children in the U.S. focusing on the state of Georgia creating a heavy hearted tone.

Her tone is also stern because she is unrelenting in her topic because she wants to stress how important it is. She is also passionate about the topic because it affects her personally because she is a woman and her rights hold her back from doing anything to affect the anti-slavery movement. The author’s tone serves the purpose because the seriousness shows the importance of the topics that are talked about in the speech such as the anti-slavery movement, and women’s rights.

Moser’s use of narration gives her passage a personality that her readers are able to connect and relate to. In her use of narration she is able to incorporate humor that breaks

The United States is one of the most influential countries in the world, it helps set the precedent for other countries to follow. Because of the importance of the United States, who the leader of the free world is, matters. Many people have advocated for the candidate that they believe will lead the United States the best, and bring about change that is positive for all. Following her husband's last presidential term, Michelle Obama believed Hillary Clinton to be the best candidate for the presidency and so she advocated for Clinton at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. And although Clinton lost the electoral college and consequently the presidency, she won the popular vote with the help from supporters' speeches like Michelle Obama's. Using many communication skills in her speech, Obama created an effective argument supporting Clinton and her campaign.

A world without women is a world without love and sensibility. Women’s equality and rights have been a major issue around the world for quite some time. They were neglected by their families, communities, and even their governments. Hillary Clinton the First Lady delivered a speech about women’s rights and how their rights are not different from human rights, and the society and government need to start recognizing that flaw. She wants change in society dealing with women. In Hillary Clinton’s U.N. 4th World Conference on Women, she promotes women’s rights as the same as human rights; through establishing character through her experiences with other organizations dealing with women, using anaphoric language throughout her speech, and appealing to the audience’s emotions.

First Lady, Michelle Obama, in her speech, “Remarks By The First Lady At The Democratic National Convention,” expresses her thoughts and opinions on the candidates up for the Presidential elections. Obama's purpose is to entice the audience watching all around the world to vote for Hillary Clinton because she believes she is more liable to be President. She communicates her speech with solemnity to convince her audience that voting for Hillary is the best option for the U.S.

She did that to build a momentum of agreement between her and her audience. And when they agree with her in the beginning she will gain their trust. Consequently, when she comes to her conclusion they would agree with her as well. This is also the same reason why she used a real world example of the Irish boy.
