Clare Boothe Luce Speeches

The session that I attended was Dolores Huerta speech, which was very interesting. Dolores Huerta was born on April 10, 1930, she is a labor leader and civil rights activist who, along with Cesar Chavez, co-founded the national Farmworkers association, which later became the United Farm Workers (UFW). Huerta has received numerous awards for her community service and advocacy for workers, immigrants, and women’s rights. She is truly a leader, working tirelessly to help the poor and women and children. She talks about war, genocide, Mass incarceration, and poverty. During her participation in non-violent protest she was arrested 22 times trying to make changes in society. Her main question was what can we do as people to solve things in the

Will you please provide me with the status on Mary Ann Nowland 2016 Evaluation which was due in November. We initiated this request a month ago and Mary Ann Nowland is still waiting. We do understand that everyone is busy, however, 7 months should be ample amount of time to get this task done.

Luce begins her speech by expressing her happiness and excitement for being invited to be the guest of honor at the Women’s National Press Club. Expressing her happiness, she says she is “flattered and “challenged by the opportunity to give her speech. However, as she continues her introduction by repeating her introductory statement she alters it by saying that she is “less happy” and “more challenged” than one might know. The slight change in her statement prepares her audience for something that they may view as unpleasant, so that they do not feel shocked about what they are about to hear. Not only is Clare Luce able to subtly communicate with her audience but she is also able to provide signs that can help them better understand her purpose. Additionally, in order to remind the audience that they asked for her opinion, Luce states that she did not offer to give the speech rather she says “you asked for it,” reminding the audience that her opinion and critique is exactly what they requested. The repetition of the nature of her speech allows Luce to confirm that her audience is clear about her intentions with the speech that she is about to give.

When referring to writing, tone is described as the writer’s attitude toward their subject matter and audience. To analyze any literary essay, recognizing tone is vital to understanding how the writer feels about the subject he has written about but also the underlying message he is trying to convey. In the essay written by the investigative reporter Jessica Mitford entitled, “To Bid the World Farewell” Tone is very pronounced and effective in getting the main point of the essay across. The author uses many different tones, from which I have selected three to analyze. All three off them use the good principles of writing a convincing and informative essay. Her ability to sarcastically familiarize the general public with the ‘dark arts’ of the embalming industry is both suggestive and engaging. She also uses an abundance of euphemisms, hiding the disturbing truth under a string of organized connotations. Her last method of tone is to inform the reader of the embalming methods by explaining with the wordy and often misunderstood colloqialisms of an actual ‘dermasurgeon’, in which she provides multiple quotes to further convince the reader.

Luce shifts to an attack on their beliefs of journalism at line seventeen. Phrases like “more bored” and “more revolted.” This shows that what she is about to say isn’t going to be agreeable and is going to be an attack on their beliefs about journalism. None the less they need to listen so they can fix American journalism. A few lines later she states “I am not a volunteer “ and reminds them “You asked for it.” This is in the hopes of taking some of the audience’s criticism away from her, putting it back on themselves for inviting her. Luce makes the audience reconsider themselves and therefore relieves some of the pressure on her. It was effective because her purpose was clear, it got the point across and redirected to the audience's emotions towards themselves.

Knowing that the audience connects to the press, since they are all journalists, bashing their industry as a whole will cause change. This persuasion technique causes emotion inflicted because of the statement being so broad, without any exceptions.From the quote used at the beginning of the essay, Archetype is also seen. Some journalists may view meaning of the press to not tell the truth, but bring entertainment in news. Not every person thinks press speaks about truth, like Luce, in fact press has a reputation for having false and dramatic stories. Luce uses both devices for one thing, to bring change. With the audience emotional and against her stereotype with the press, change will happen to better the system in the end. After all, the room full of journalists spoken to might see the press as a perfect system. With hundreds of stories and news to keep the people informed, press does promote mass communication. Before the press minimal communication resulted because there was not a way for people across the world to know what was going on. Press is a milestone in communications and eventually led to more advanced systems like the computer and cell phones. Luce evokes the audience to feel passionate about the business they work in and determination to not let the press die, since Clare states that the place press appears to be in represents negativity.

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

Even though Betsy Ross is best known for creating and sewing the American flag, this has never been officially proven. However, there is a great amount of evidence that she was very influential in the making of the flag. These words by her say it all, “Our hearts aching, our prayers praying, our flags waving, never forget.”1

Thank you very much for your generosity! Honestly, there are no words to accurately express my humble gratitude for this remarkable gift offered by you, Marion and Anne Williams. I'm soon to be an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, and I plan to both major in Astronautical Engineering and minor in Computer Science. Ever since my early childhood, I've always been fascinated by the unknowns of space. For instance, it's quite hard to imagine looking at something as massive as Jupiter when you're only given images on Google. Although the images are tremendous, just looking at the planet with your very own eyes could make an astronaut out of anyone. Yet, I'm not actually looking forward to be an astronaut. It's been my dream to work at NASA, but it's

Relevance Statement: According to the CDC, 62% of women of reproductive age are currently using a contraceptive. This number has drastically risen over the years as a result of advanced medicine and availability to all women. This would not have been possible without the work and dedication of Margaret Sanger.

In the beginning of the speech, she addresses to the audience that she will tell the American press about the truth. Luce criticizes how the media write false stories and get full credit for it. She states that “I stand here at this rostrum invited to throw rocks at you. You have asked me to tell you what’s wrong with you -American press” (5-7). She wants her audience to have some background information about what they write. By using ethos and logos, her audience is going to take the feedback because Luce knows her audience. Her audience sees how she uses logical and ethical appeal to state her claim to the journalist in the room. These devices show that the journalist is being told what they do wrong and how they should try to fix it. She tries to weaker her audience and points out how they sacrifice and criticize sensationalist stories. When she wrote this speech, the time period was 1960 which means she wanted to address the problem sooner than later. When the audience sees and hears this it makes them

Often media broadcasters tend to lean to this side, therefore giving them the image of being liberally bias. Chris Mathews and Keith Oberman from MSNBC are two examples of broadcasters that have been accused of delivering their news with a liberal twist to it. Journalists tend to vote on the liberal side of situations, but still say that while they are on the job they only tell the news in the fairest way and the way that will be least offensive as well as respectful to who it will be presented. In many cases however, this report can come out with an oddly left sided tone (thatliberalmedia.com). Since 1991 when Katie Couric became co-host of NBC’s Today Show, she has used her powerful spot in the media to praise significant liberal figures such as Hillary Clinton and Jimmy Carter. At the same time however, Couric has never been shy about complaining about “right winged conservatives”

In apology, he despises the juvenile orator that gets the better of us and instead he advocates for the use of words and arguments with one and only one goal in mind: telling the truth. In doing so, his philosophy is builds upon knowing and defining the meaning of words and not poetical interpretations that are ear-pleasing but empty of content.

During the Abolitionist Movement, many speakers stood before crowds to express messages of hope, inspiration, and change. Some of these speakers had years of experience in public speaking and communication. Others, particularly slaves speaking about their own experiences, were notably less eloquent. Despite this, they are often able to craft logically and emotionally persuasive messages. Sojourner Truth, perhaps without knowing, uses erotema, polysyndeton, dialogismus, and anthypophora in her speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” in order to instill passion in her audience while simultaneously advocating for both the rights of women and the rights of African Americans.
