Comparing Cook And Pichai's Speeches

Throughout the essay the writer employs a variety of pronouns in a genuine attempt to persuade the audience and draw them in. As an example, he successfully includes

In this book the council, which is another way of saying the government, has a law known as the “we” law. This law states that no human can refer to themselves as one person. Each and every person must call themselfs “we” and considering the circumstances, “our” as if they are multiple people. The council feels as if they must have this rule because if these humans were to go around talking as if they are one person, it would be unequal. Which is a huge law, they must all be equal, no exceptions. One character acknowledges, “We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One, indivisible and forever.” (Rand 19). This quote is a strong quote

He uses the term “we” to refer to all people, so that his comparison becomes universal. The metaphor reintroduces the idea that in the end all people are the same. In the desert, without water, money, or a place to sleep, we are all stripped of what would otherwise define us in society, and instead we are all equal. Any and all divisions are abandoned when survival is on the line. This ties to the meaning because in these situations, we must band together to figure out how to survive and make the best out of the situation.

The narrator’s use of the first person is use to create an idea of a bond between the friends, and he uses the term “we” throughout the story to point out that the group was together through it all. In the beginning of the story the narrator tells is that the gang of friends had went two nights without doing anything interesting. Then, the third night “Whatever it was we were looking for, we weren’t going to find it at greasy lake. Not that night.” (295). This short quote shows me that the narrator was trying to tell us that everything that was about to happen from that point on was a group decision. Also, to further elaborate, I found the repetition of the word “we” to be a point of emphasis to try to negate some of the future consequences of his actions to his friends despite

n. They also use the term “I and I” instead of “We” to emphasize the equality between all people, in the belief that the Holy Spirit within all people is what makes us all the same.

The ways in which the society forces its citizens to refer to themselves as “we” and their similar natured names cause the individuals to view themselves as a group. The first official introduction to the main character is in chapter one when he says, “Our name is Equality 7-2521…”( Rand 18). From the beginning, when Equality says, “Our,” while referring to himself, it is clear that the citizens of the society cannot refer themselves as ‘I’. Excluding personal pronouns, engraves in the people’s minds that they are not individuals. In addition, if citizens were to refer to themselves as ‘I’ they would regard and value themselves as individual people opposed to living for others. As a result, this would defy the basis of collectivist principles. Throughout the story, various characters names are words pertaining to synonyms of brotherhood and togetherness. For instance, while Equality is standing in the great hall watching his brothers while they

Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of the Indian independence movement against British rule. He proposed a speech to all of his followers explaining what his resolution was to gain independence, without using violence. Mahatma Gandhi adopts a subtle and affirmative tone while revealing that non violence and the spreading of love is the way to approach this movement for independence. He also portrays his outline for the movement by appealing to the audience's emotions.

The novella, Anthem by Ayn Rand, Is written in the first person point of view. Although the reader may be tricked due to the fact that the author commonly uses words such as, we, were, and our. In the first chapter of the novel, Equality 7-2521, the main character, says “Our name is Equality 7-2521, as it is written on the iron bracelet which all men wear on their left wrists with their names upon it” (6). Equality 7-2521 is not talking about a group of people when he says “our name”, he is only talking about himself. Yet, the society which he lives in (a post, Dark Age version of the world) does not allow him to use the word “I” along with the word “ego”, unless he wants to be punished by death. This becomes clearer to the reader at the end

In the the novel Ayn takes us into a collectivist society where it is bound to suck the meaning out of life. The councils that control the society and certain jobs in the society believe that individualism is life-threatening to human life. It is shown on page 73 where it says, “What is not thought of by all brother men cannot be true.” -Ayn Rand, Anthem,Chapter Seven. They have eliminated everything from the “unmentionable times” and they are to never speak of it. Certain parts of the language have been lost such as the word “I” which nobody even knows exists. Equality 7-2521 and Liberty 5-3000 know there is a word which they are seeking but they cannot find. Instead they use the word “we” to refer to themselves because they believe all men are one and they think that by using the word “I’ that it shows they are above their brothers. People are not allowed to think for themselves or express their feelings and emotions freely. All the stuff they felt was basically controlled and everything they do has to be for the good of that person's brothers. On the other hand, in the novel The Giver by Lois Lowry, you see some of the same things. When being questioned about her book, Ayn said, “The World portrayed in The Giver is a world where

Her use of “we” at the start here calms the other organizations by implying that no one means any harm to these organizations, and that these reformers will take their full responsibility. Cary speaks on the behalf of the reformers and defends them. The use of anaphora by starting with “we” makes the sentences seem more

Another way Rand portrays collectivism in the novel Anthem, is with the word “I” essentially being nonexistent and everything being “We”. Throughout the entire book anytime Equality 7-2521 is referring to himself he states “We”, because that is what he is taught from a young age as correct. Rand writes, “We are one in all and all in one. There are no men but only the great WE, One,

For a good portion of the book, Rand’s narrator, Equality 7-2521, talks in the pronoun of “we.” Rand opens her novel, “We have broken the laws… We have committed a greater crime” (Rand 1). Rand uses this pronoun of “we” to clearly define the almighty power of the group within this world. By using “we” throughout the novel the reader comes to understand that all individuality has been stamped out of this society and the word “I” is an alien and completely unknown term.

Lastly, Jimmy Carter applies appeals to identity to support his assertion that the ANWR should not be developed for industry. He frequently employs the pronoun “we” in his writing; for example, he expresses that “we must look beyond the alleged benefits of a short-term economic gain and focus on what is really at stake.” The collective pronoun “we” is beneficial in the fact that it connects the readers and the author as being a part of a larger group, and it portrays them as being on the same side of the author’s contention. In this case, he includes “we” in a call to action, influencing readers to join him in the consideration of the wildlife. As well as identifying with Jimmy Carter, the audience is hit with a sense of belonging when he writes

“I am done with the monster of “We,” the word of serfdom, of plunder, of misery, falsehood, and shame.” (Page 97). In relation to the novel Prometheus is reaching an enlightenment of his own beliefs. He realizes very early in the novella that he is very different from his brothers surrounding him. Prometheus states that he is no longer using the word “We” because it is a word of Collectivism rather than a word of Objectivism. The quote closely relates to the overall theme of Individualism by him saying that he no longer wishes to use the word we. Prometheus closely supports and strengthens the Individuality he has within

The term ‘we’ in the title therefore refers to property and real estate professionals such
