Analyzing Paul Harvey 's Speech And Delivery

In any powerful speech, the speaker communicates and relates directly to his or her audience. Elie Wiesel does a superb job of doing this in his Perils of Indifference speech, given in April 1999. His use of pathos

The first thing most people think of when they hear the name Tom Hanks is a toy cowboy, but there is so much more to him. He has a lot more to tell the listeners then just how to get beyond infinity; he can tell listeners how anyone can change the world. Hanks gave a commencement speech at Yale University in 2011 to the graduating class. Hanks talks about how, even through fear, anyone can change the world for the better. He emphasizes that people should work to make the world better instead of posting and tweeting everything people do in the hopes to become famous. Hanks uses a little bit of ethos and pathos when he used his credibility as a famous person to make the graduates listen, an example of ethos, and uses pathos to not only make

President Bush’s speech was directed towards an audience of northern Arizonan republican supporters. Bush continuously uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos, the appeal to the

No matter what a person’s race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation is, everyone should enjoy equality. In the speech Speech Upon the Removal of Confederate Monuments by Mitch Landrieu, the Mayor of New Orleans, the removal of the Confederate monuments in New Orleans is discussed. The speech emphasises the fact that the Confederacy was wrong pertaining to their treatment of African Americans, and instead of teaching history, the Confederate monuments convey an image of inequality and violence. Mitch Landrieu argues for the deconstruction of historic Confederate monuments through his allusions to past historic events to contrast the modern shift of equality, so he can call the people to action to deconstruct the monuments. Through the

In a fitting model of a persuasive speech, the movie Any Given Sunday includes a key speech, “Inch by Inch”, given by Al Pacino’s character. The speech is given to a team of football players in need of encouragement to face an intimidating game. The structure of his speech, his confidence in delivering it, and inspirational references to his own life makes the speech motivational and inspiring to the directed audience. This persuasion is a perfect example of ethos, pathos, and logos.

Matthew McConaughey was a very enthusiastic speaker who showed that he was the right choice when winning this award. He began by thanking his fellow workers who worked hard on the movie and even the other nominees to show respect and not doubt his fellow actors. McConaughey also states his three main points of the speech to show what he would be talking about. His humor made his words flow whenever he started talking about his Father and it caused it to shift into thanking his loved ones in the audience. His stance throughout the speech looked like he was shifting only because he would look around at the audience and create eye contact. McConaughey pointed out the people he was talking about and directly spoke to them the things he wanted to

He also includes a lot of emotional parts throughout the speech this is effective as it may get an emotional response from the audience this happens when he says “Your loved ones were daring and brave” and “It is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen” this is a good use of pathos as it does connect to the emotional feelings of the viewer.

Joey Franklin makes masterful use of rhetoric in his essay “Working at Wendy’s” to construct an entertaining and compelling argument in favor of recognizing that the workers of the service industry are not just undistinguished drones, but rather complicated people, each with their own desires and stories. To this end, the author utilizes the effective rhetorical device of pathos, logos, and ethos. Franklin demonstrates an excellent use of imagery that serves as a conduit for empathy, which is vital for the use of pathos, the emotional appeal. In reference to logos, the appeal to logic, he paints the picture of a hard-working father that needs to provide for his family. This is a clear representation of common logic and ties into ethos, which is the rhetorical appeal to authority and ethics, in the sense that many people can relate to caring about and working to support family. For ethos, he establishes himself as your everyday working man — part of the working class. This shows that he’s clearly apt for speaking of the position he’s in, and allows the audience to relate to him through pathos.

Cornel West spoke at Texas A&M University-Commerce as a guest speaker on September 28th in order to discuss why race matters in 2016. He talked about different subjects including race in politics, social justice, social economics, police accountability, and prominent social justice warriors. Filling the shoes of Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. West kindly educated the students and faculty by discussing the current racial justice movement, what the movement stands for, and what they intend to do. The insight that Dr. West offered helped me better understand the difficulties of racial tension, and what we can do to stop both racial and social injustice. What I found particularly interesting about his speech was the way that he captivated the audience.

How do writers and speakers keep their audiences interested? Many speakers today use a method, which consists of ethos, logos, and pathos. Two popular men, Martin Luther King and Sam Berns, both utilize ethos, logos, and pathos in a way to build their speeches, “The Street Sweeper” and “My Philosophy for a Happy Life.” Even though they both portray those, they don’t always do it in the same manner. When watching speeches, the speaker always needs to be trusted by the audience, which is another way of saying, displaying ethos. They do this in order to hook the reader’s attention. Along with that, they also want to hear logical words and phrases, logos, from the speaker. Putting an emotional twist on things helps others stay interested in what they are discussing as well. Despite the many ways that King and Berns favor each other, there are many ways in which they differ throughout their speeches.

Chapman uses pathos to appeal to the readers’ fear of uncertainty in the future in order to make them aware that not enough is being done to benefit the next generation. By drawing attention to the readers’ feelings, Chapman is able to make the readers more aware of their views and enables them to create opinions on his writings and as a result, causes them to

Image being struck down by cancer and having to living with a disease eating at your body, well Jim Valvano lived under those circumstances and was able to give one of the influential speeches of all time that people still turn to for motivation. The ESPY Awards is an annual award ceremony in which awards are presented to individuals to recognize their achievements in both sports-related performance and high character outside of sports(Rothman). At the 1993 Espys, Jim Valvano or “Jimmy V” delivered an acceptance speech for the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, a speech that moved the audience to their feet. Just nine months prior to speaking, Jimmy was diagnosed with a severe form of cancer called Metastatic Adenocarcinoma (V Foundation). It was evident, by the way he spoke, his time on earth was quickly coming to an end, in the way he spoke and the stories he told about those he has met through his life. During the speech he referred to not knowing how much time he still had on earth before cancer took him for good (V Foundation).Jimmy V argues the idea that one bad thing life should be able to hold you back from being a strong and outgoing individual. Jimmy Valvano was always able to uplift a crowd by bringing energy to his surroundings by his tone, use of humor, and by using the rhetorical appeal pathos.

“When you have a father who has a farm, it's never a choice if you want to be a farmer or not,” Hucks said.

Paul Washer tenth indictment that he discussed was that pastors are malnourished in the Word of God. To finalize his speech Paul directed the focus towards the pastors. He wanted them to evaluate their own life and asked them, “when was the last time you examined your own life to see if you were in the faith, to see if you really know the Lord? He later went on to give insight into his own story as being pastor to allow people to know he is like them too. I enjoyed how he ended with simple instructions for the pastors and provided his own feeling that he goes through to be more

Paul Ryan took time out of his day to visit young college students at Cleveland State University to inform them about poverty in America today. He wants to inform the students, parents, and the Republicans about the war on poverty and how we can help end it. Along with his speech about ending poverty, Ryan takes the time to support Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign as well. In Paul Ryan’s “War Against Poverty Speech”, Ryan created an effective speech through his purpose being to escape from poverty, using emotional appeals to convince his audience about helping to end poverty, and informing the youth at Cleveland State University.
