Krosoczkas Speech Analysis

In Act I, Scene 2, the purpose of Cassis’ speech is to persuade Brutus to distrust Caesar, and to join him in a conspiracy against Caesar. In his speech to Brutus, Cassius uses a variety of persuasive and rhetorical devices to persuade Brutus to join his cause against Caesar. Cassius is desperate to have Brutus on his side because of his close relation to Caesar and great respect and trust from the people of Rome. The tone of Cassius’ speech to Brutus is introduced with Cassius appealing to Brutus’ sense of responsibility towards Rome. Cassius tells Brutus that he has, “Heard where many of the best respect in Rome, except immortal Caesar, speaking of Brutus and groaning underneath this age’s yoke, have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes” (I.ii.64-68). Cassius tells Brutus that he is admired by Rome, appealing to Brutus’ value of putting Rome ahead of himself. Cassius uses knowledge of this value to his advantage in his speech, insisting that killing Caesar will be for the good of Rome. Cassius also introduces his speech by persuading Brutus that he is honorable and can be trusted. Cassius tells Brutus that, “Honor is the subject of my story”(I.ii.99). This appeals to the speaker Cassius’ credibility and has an ethical appeal on Brutus, or ethos. This appeal is effective because it connects with something that Brutus values, honor. In Cassius’ speech to Brutus, he uses a comparison comparing Caesar to a Colossus saying, “Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world like a Colossus, and we petty men walk under his huge legs and peep about to find ourselves dishonorable graves”(I.ii.142-144). Cassius is using an analogy comparing Caesar to Colossus, which was a large statue. Cassius again uses Brutus’ value of honor to persuade when he tells Brutus that if Caesar is in power, he and Brutus will die dishonorable deaths. During the time period, an honorable death was very important to noble Romans, especially Brutus. When Cassius is comparing the two names Brutus and Caesar, he uses the strategy of asking rhetorical questions. “Brutus and Caesar: what should be in that ‘Caesar?’ Why should that name be sounded more than yours?(I.ii.149-151).” Cassius also asks, “Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he

Being on your phone too much takes away from your boredom and your own creative thoughts. In the month of April 2017, Manoush Zomorodi gave a speech at Ted Talks about how boredom can actually be good for you. Her purpose was to explain to people how being bored leads to great things. She also wants to clarify to people that being on your phone affects your boredom. She describes in her speech that while being on your phone is fun, it never gives you time to actually sit and think. Being on your phone never makes you bored, and Zomorodi wants to show that being on your phone too much doesn’t allow new thoughts to come about. Zomorodi’s primary audience was toward middle age people that could not keep their phones away from them. The theme

The date is June 6th, 1984, and American President Ronald Reagan stands solemnly before a massive stone monument on what he calls "a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France." On this historic day, the President of the United States stands solemnly before a small crowd of some of the bravest men living. The men assembled before him know these cliffs well. These are the Rangers who scaled the cliffs 40 years ago to do more than win the cliffs on the shores of Normandy. These are the Rangers who began the retaking of the entirety of Europe from Axis Control. That was 40 years ago, now only 90 of the original 225 sit before him now. All that can be heard are the crash of the waves on beach below and the occasional cry of a seagull

In Ronald Reagan’s speech, “remarks at the Brandenburg Gate” the 40th President Reagan discusses the positive qualities and aspects of the democratic system of government in America at the time. Reagan also challenges the Soviet Union as well as their communism and calls for Berlin to unify once again. Attempting to spread the ideology to those in Berlin, as well as the world, and convince the people there should have been a transition from Communism to Democracy, Reagan takes advantage of multiple appeals as well as an inspirational and hopeful tone. Reagan also made many very smart, conscious decisions regarding not only his appeals but also his choices of delivery, historical context, use of language, and timing, and audience. Utilizing these aspects allowed Reagan to give one of the most memorable and effective speeches in history.

Cole Jackson period 7 The time of sunshine or summer soldiers is now coming to an end as the colonies enter a time of action needed un order to continue this fight for independence against the British. During the time period, British government had been taxing the colonies for breathing practically. Colonists just withstood an eight-month winter toil in which they were unable to strike or fight back. Thomas Paine, seeing the ripe opportunity for action, called on colonists to form and build a militia to prove a point to the British and how serious colonists are about freedom. However, many people feared the idea of a militia as they felt this was a too bold and harsh decision to go against the British army. Throughout Crisis No. 1, Paine connects

May it please the court? The founding fathers built this country upon not only the foundation of Freedom of Religion but, also upon the laws that government can not make laws establishing a religion as head of the country. Under this First Amendment protection all human kind can practice any religion of their choice without the invasion of government and/or community action just as all humans can also choose to not practice any religion at all. This is one so case; Mr. and Mrs. Roes attended their sons high school graduation on June 5, 2014 during which a speech was given by Ms. Abernathy the speech was said as follows “And so I invite you to pray with me. Father, son, and Holy Spirit… you are a wise God, oh lord, as evidenced even in the plan of redemption that is

On December 29th, 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt (the active president at the time) delivered a radio broadcast to the American people about the events in Europe and what needed to be done to protect our allies and ourselves. During this time period many Americans were still considered isolationists and wanted nothing to do with foreign affairs. However The United Kingdom and the rest of the European territories that were under attack were struggling to fight back the German and axis forces. In desperate need of food and supplies these counties continued to pursue aid from the United States. This put Roosevelt in a difficult position; Wanting to aid our allied countries before the Nazi powers wipe them out, but also trying to appease the United State’s mass that had no intention joining the war without needing to. Nevertheless Roosevelt was able to deliver his radio board casted speech smoothly, and with enough emotion to convince many Americans that our resources needed to be used elsewhere. FDR was also able to motivate factory workers all over the countries to produce at their maximum potential, in order to produce the amount needed to support our eastern allies. We know now that American intervention ended up being very beneficial in hopes of ending the war. This means that the speech was very important and effective, one of the first steps for the United States to help restore order in the World.

The short story “Speech Sounds” is a science fiction story written by Octavia Butler. This essay portrays a central theme that really opened my eyes as well as many others. This theme is to never take your ability to communicate for granted. Communication is a huge part of our culture and civilization. I never truly realized how important communication really was until reading this story. Without it, we cannot express our feelings in a correct manner. Not being able to connect with other individuals results in it being very hard to cooperate with others, causing chaos amongst society. In a short amount of time, the world would turn on each other causing mass amounts of violence. Likewise, this is similar to the story “Speech Sounds.” There are many takeaways one can have after reading this story.

Just a few hours before workers removed a statue of a general on the confederate side General Robert E. Lee, the fourth statue in recent week to be removed depicting various people on the confederate side- Mayor Mitch Landrieu gave an address on the topic of the removals at Gallier Hall. In his address Mayor Landrieu shares his reasoning with the audience and with the world for the removals of the statues. Mayor Landrieu begins his speech by affectionately talking about the diversity in the city of New Orleans referring to it as, “a melting pot, a bubbling cauldron of many cultures.” Through the speech he addresses issues not only with the statues but with New Orleans itself. He states that in the time of slavery, New Orleans was one of the

On Thursday, October 19th I found myself in the Brazos Valley African-American Museum to hear Kim Olson, a candidate for Texas Agricultural Commissioner. She was a woman of tremendous military stature and was truly one of the best public speakers I have had the honor of hearing. The subject of her speech covered many key points of modern agriculture and a few mentions of the modern political situation as a whole, especially in local government. Her potential platform as the Tex Ag Commissioner would allow her to go before congress and argue for the farm bill in Texas to be raised which would allow us to reach new heights of small farming in our great state. Along with this Kim picked at a few common misconceptions of locally grown food, and

Octavia Butler, the author of “Speech Sounds” and many other short stories, is a well-known author for her feminist point of view which might be attributed to her father who died when she was young and her mother taking on the role as the father figure as well as the mother figure. After the bus stop, Valerie Rye, the protagonist in this short story who goes by Rye for a lot of the short story, met Obsidian who Rye assumes his name to be; also, he used to be a LAPD officer. Rye immediately trusts Obsidian to drive her to Pasadena to see what is left of her family. In Octavia Butlers “Speech Sounds,” the men and women have reverse gender roles throughout this short story than we are used to because men in our world tend to have more power over women.

I had the pleasure to speak with Pat E from AZ. Pat stated she spoke with Tarina and would like to commend her on her service today.

Mitigated speech is referred to downplaying the importance of a certain situation. While reading the essay I could see how mitigated speech was used, when Caviedes says "We don't have enough fuel" when Klotz contacted the Air Traffic control, the first thing he should have said was "It's an emergency we don't have enough fuel to get to our landing destination". The tone that Klotz had when communicating the orders to Air Traffic Control didn't give off any signs of an emergency at all, I understand that you must be calm and alert when flying a plane but when it comes to your life and the life others, you must act upon an emergency that could cause to harm others in any way possible. This was like he brushed off what was going on, because to him it didn't seem like it was a big deal. I personally think the tone has a lot to do with mitigated speech because it's all about how you address the situation.

Between the early 1950's and early 1960's, The Khrushchev Thaw was expanding over Russia. Khrushchev's Thaw was Khrushchev turning the Soviet Union into a more peaceful place. Khrushchev worked as First Secretary of the communist party of the Soviet Union between 1953 and 1964 and also led the Soviet Union in the cold war. His speech, "The Cult of The Individual", was given on the 25th of February in 1952, three years after Joseph Stalin’s death, to a closed session of Communist party delegates along with guests and members of the press; however, this speech was not recorded and is nicknamed "The Secret Speech". The purpose of Khrushchev's speech was to tempt the communist party closer to Leninism.
