The child I will be observing is Miss S, and her age is 5 years old. I will be observing Miss S in the Language Development which pertains to the Oral Language. I found out from the mother Mrs. K that Miss S. has a stuttering problem when she gets excited. Miss S gets embarrassed most of the time she does it.

The mom says the best place to observe Miss S is here at head start in the classroom, because she fills more comfortable around her teacher and her peers. Miss K the mom states that she

Throughout the speech, Bush uses his credibility and ethos to build up his purpose. He has automatic credibility because he is the one giving the speech, creates trust with his beliefs, and was the president at the time that the attack occurred. Bush created ethos by saying, “tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those

Bush uses appeals throughout his formal speech to help advance the argument he proposes. While doing this Bush takes his listeners on a roller coaster of emotion, appealing to pathos and to logos, then to ethos and back to

Two-hundred and nine thousand. That is the number of lives that were nobly given to save the many during the invasion of Normandy (D-day and the Battle of Normandy). The courageous men and women fought continuously for days on end, climbing the jagged cliffs of Normandy, France. Under rifle fire from gun nests from above, the allied troops were able to take control of the coastline, but not without great sacrifice. The speech given by Ronald Reagan was made to commemorate those who fearlessly fought for our country and the many thousands that gave their lives during those hard days of war. His speech had a clear message, to honor and remember those who gave and risked their lives during the invasion of Normandy.

He emphasizes that they are met at “a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live” to show his compassion to those who lost their loved ones as well as to induce empathy among those who did not. He then refers to the men who lost their lives fighting for the belief that all men are created equal and that their sacrifices should not be in vain. President Lincoln then states: “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” That sentence expresses compassion to the families of those who died and gives them comfort as the actions of the world will never forget what the brave men did. On the other hand, that statement also conveys the message that actions speak louder than words as the world will not remember what is said, but what is done. The purpose of that message is to inspire the audience to take action in ending the

He chooses his spots on where and when to address the audience on a certain issue. When listening to the speech, or viewing it, you notice this even more. He chooses his pauses wisely, something that is overlooked by many. He draws attention to his more important sentences by pausing for a little more than a second, then continuing on. When one pauses, it almost draws the reader into the importance of the next line, or even the line before. One is thought to believe that it has great importance, because it’s almost hard to say. He chooses to do this several times not only when discussing the Iraq war, but when discussing the current administration in the oval office. He states that “the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into red and blue states; red states for Republicans, blue states for

When Bush addressed the nation, he had to assure the American people of their country’s strength, which would undoubtedly triumph through this unthinkable misfortune. George W. Bush states, “These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong (Eidenmuller).” This shows how Bush is trying to create an emotional connection to the audience by instilling in Americans that our country must remain unified and strong during this time of terror. Bush also states, “These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve (Eidenmuller). This statement testifies that our country cannot be broken, and our country will prevail. About one-in-five Americans cite the country’s response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, as the time in their lives when they felt most proud of their country (Gramlich). This indicates just how powerful our country can be if everyone works together. The terrorist attacks on the United States will forever be burned into the memories of Americans. That being the case, Bush’s attempt at creating an emotional connection to the audience was successful because he brought the country together with words of strength.

Something that is evident in both Keating and Bandler’s speeches, and almost all the prescribed speeches is the process in which they speaker intentionally connects with the audience by making either themselves or their topic personable.

The citizens who lost family members were broken and lost. The government was shocked. The United States, as a whole, did not know how to recover, but it did. President Bush helped us push through. He had to make some hard decisions along the way, but in this speech, using tone, all of the rhetorical triangle, and cause and effect he justifies all of the tough decisions he made. He gives reasons for why he, his administration, and Congress made the decisions they did. In the end, using these rhetorical devices strengthened his speech, and left the audience agreeing with him, and even if they did not totally agree with the choices he made, they were left understanding his logic behind those decisions. Bush did a fantastic job appealing to his audience with this speech. It was a powerful and left the audience with a sense of security about where America is

In both of the speeches, the tone is full of grief and remembrance for those who were killed in the attack. However, the way this is expressed is different in both speeches. For instance, Bush states that this period of time was dark for all American's and that “Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened”. This in turn describes this grief as nationwide, something that everyone in America felt sorrow for.

The speech tells us that terrorist had attacked Americans, and it left many dead and injured. It tells us that people on the airplane, in the building, people going in to save lives, moms, dads, friends, and other family members had been trapped in that building. Many people outside of the Twin Towers caught the airplane in action hitting the building, this leaving American’s scared for their lives.

The purpose of this speech was, overall, to address the tragic acts of terrorism. President Bush accomplishes this in an informative and effective manner through his elegiac tone throughout the speech. This mournful way of writing gives a respectful and empathetic feeling to the address. This is incredibly important, as many people were feeling grief, loss, fear, and heartache at the time. Another purpose for the speech is to call the American people to action. President Bush, through his use of imperative statements, successfully rallies his audience to action. After describing some upcoming changes to the government, he said “These measures are essential. But the only way to defeat terrorism as a threat to our way of life is to stop it, eliminate it, and destroy it where it grows” (“George Bush Speech”). This imperative statement gets the audience feeling determined to do their part to destroy terrorism. Soon after, he said, “I have a message for our military: Be ready. I’ve called the Armed Forces to alert, and there is a reason. The hour is coming when America will act, and you will make us proud” (“George Bush Speech”). This specifically calls the military to action, which is a critical aspect of the speech. President Bush also uses this speech as an opportunity to thank people who made a difference in the tragic event, saying “I thank the Congress for its leadership at such an important time”, “I thank the world for its outpouring of support”, and, “…I thank you for your

During President Bush’s speech he does trigger an emotional reaction among many Americans. A countless number of peoples worlds have been shattered and are left grieving from this horrific tragedy. Bush went on to say, “businessmen and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, and friends and neighbors”, and for everyone who were affected by this disgusting act of terror. He expressed his and the world's grieve through ethos in his

The dynamic voice — the frequency use of rising and falling intonations, is one of the most significant characteristic of Roosevelt’s speech. Using the most famous sentence in the First Inaugural Address as an example — “ So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief (rise) that the only thing we have to fear (rise) is fear (rise) itself (fall).” Table 1 shows the number of rising and falling intonations in the three speeches. In average, a rising or falling intonation appears every 5.886, 4.058 and 3.524 words in the three speeches respectively, which is much more frequency than normal

He says this because he is thankful for all of the deaths that occurred that brought a new era in the nations life. Overall, it was a horrible thing that happened because so many people sacrificed their life to bring difference to their nation, and
