I have chosen to put in writing a speech with the intention to be imitating the style of the anti-government leader Leopoldo Lopez, who is in opposition to presidents Nicholas Maduro’s regulations in Venezuela. the use of what I learnt from component 1 of my English Language and Literature course I’ll be imposing textual bias within the speech consisting of ambiguity and over-exaggeration. I will additionally be elaborating on the subject of segregation within the community inclusive of how the political figures marginalize the residents of Venezuela by means of acting like a “dictatorship” which turns the socialist democracy into a “communism”.
A speech like this would imply publicizing the state of affairs in Venezuela to the rest of the
Cesar Chavez was a civil rights leader and a labor union organizer who delivered a carefully crafted speech by acknowledging the perspective of his audience in order to vouch for the use of nonviolence over violence. While Chavez is arguing against the use of violence, he refrains from blaming anyone who had ever used violence. He manages to gain the trust of the audience by presenting himself as an understanding and compassionate individual, which allows them to be more receptive to his message.
Chavez does not wait long to dive into his argument, instead, within the first few paragraphs he makes a very clear and comprehensive claim with the very strategic use of parallel structure when he says, “Nonviolence is more powerful than violence. Nonviolence supports you if you have a just and moral cause. Nonviolence provides the opportunity to stay on the offensive, and that is of crucial importance to win any contest” (Chavez 3). It can be seen here that this use of parallel structure plays a very crucial role in conveying Chavez’s message as it repeats over and over the main idea of the article. In doing so, the main idea becomes really emphasized and in a way drills the focus of the article into the minds of his audience. This provides a very easy and understandable
By persuading the audience to sympathize with his point of view, Chavez develops emotional appeals through pathos. In the beginning of the article, Chavez focuses primarily on his side of the argument, but he does not forget to acknowledge the views of the opposing side. He recognizes the conflicting side’s emotions when he says, “We advocate militant nonviolence as our means of achieving justice for our people, but we are not blind to the feelings of frustration, impatience and anger…” (Chavez). By appealing to the audience’s emotions, Chavez creates an understanding relationship with the reader, making them more accepting of his
On March 18, 2008, Barack Obama gave a speech addressing racial issues facing America, as well as the reason behind his candidacy. Cesar Chavez, in his speech on November 9, 1984, dissucessed the discriminatory conditions being faced by Hispanics, mainly farm workers, of America. He also includes his plans meant for improving the lives of Hispanics across the nation. Barack Obama, the speaker of "A More Perfect Union" and Cesar Chavez, the speaker of "What the future holds for Farmworkers and Hispanics" present arguments housing claims, reasoning, evidence, rhetorical appeals/devices, and structure, creating similarities and differences amongst the speeches altering the effectiveness of their
What was going on in the United States or in the world at the time that made the speech important?
1. After watching the Hugo Chavez documentary it is clear that the subject matter was his downfall as the republican president. Chavez was the republican president of Venezuelan from 1999 until 2013 when he pasted away from cancer. This documentary showed a lot of the not so positive posted of views on Chavez. As we discussed after class Chavez wanted to run his government as a place: for the people, by the people. This is commonly refereed to as a socialist reform for a president. Chavez could have worked if he consider all of the Venezuelan people. But it was clear that he did not consider the needs of the middle class people, which lead to his downfall as a president. Failing the middle class people was his strings downfall because these people took there feelings to the media. In doing so the media showed Chavez to the world in a negative perspective.

The rhetorical situation of Gloria Anzaldua’s, “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” from her book Borderlands/La Frontera, is the most important piece to her argument. A writer’s rhetorical situation is the use of the elements of the rhetor, audience, text, medium, context and exigence. Through the correct use of these pieces, a writer is able to greatly strengthen their argument and persuasive abilities. In her passage, Gloria Anzaldua is speaking to the unfair and unjust treatment of Spanish speaking children growing up in the United States educational system. These are not just kids who have moved here from a Spanish speaking country, but even those born in the United States that grew up speaking Spanish because of their family’s culture. Through her writing she wants to bring this into light to induce change and help children of the future be able to learn in an environment where they are also able to comfortable speak their own language. She is not looking for them to be able to speak their own language in an American school just because she wants to be difficult. In her eyes, your language is part of your identity of self. And without your language, you are also losing part of yourself. Again, she expresses and increases the persuasiveness of these ideas through the use of her rhetorical situation, which includes the rhetor, audience, text, medium, context and exigence.
On august 10, 2013 a creature called a kaiju ( giant beast) arose from the sea throught a portal called the the breach, which is located off the coastline of China near Guam on the floor of Challenger Deep in the Pacific Ocean. which connects eatrh to the Anteverse, the homeworld of the Precursors and the Kaiju. To fight the Kaiju, mankind developed giant robots called Jaegers (Hunter), designed to be piloted by two humans locked together in a neural bridge. However, even the Jaegers where not enough to defeat the Kaiju, and humanity is on the verge of defeat. There is a speech in the movie made by Stacker Pentecost "Today, today… at the edge of our hope, at the end of our time, we've chosen not only to believe in ourselves but in each other. Today, there’s not a man nor woman in here that shall stand alone. Not today. Today we face the monsters that are at our door and bring the fight to them! Today, we are cancelling the apocalypse!". This speech is one of the best exsamples of how defeating the thing we fear as human is not a one man job. It take everyone to be united as one to defete that which is contanly bring terror to everyone.
I walk into a library and sit down. Looking around, I feel overwhelmed by the massive amount of volumes, editions, and anthologies resting in their respective places on the shelves around me. For a moment, I contemplate. If I start reading now and halt several years from now, I will not even come close to putting a dent in the amount of information around me. How insignificant one feels when surrounded by the unknown.
Today I will be talking about what was on CNN News, Today they were talking about Castro Dictator of Cuba, The Election of Trump and Hillary, The Soft Wheel, and Trick shots.
Throughout the novella “Animal Farm” by George Orwell, Orwell mimics the reality of the Russian Revolution in 1917 as an allegory that shows Animals on a Farm. Their goal is to create a sovereign/ independent community apart from the humans by initiating a rebellion. In the novella, this community shows indicators of sustainable development or lack there of. Despite this, the animal farm society has witnessed changes to their development. At first they seem to reflect the aims of a sustainably developed society and then certain aspects prevented them from reaching sustainability. Those changes include economic wealth such as how they sustained their resources and trade between different partners,
With the end of the slave trade and the beginning of “legitimate trade,” European countries began to set up forts and colonies along the coasts of Africa. These forts and colonies began to nibble at the continent bit by bit; within thirty years, almost the entire continent had been claimed by colonial powers. Since there was a rise in nationalism among European countries, Africa provided these colonizers with their own market to produce raw materials and goods that would be used to benefit Europe’s Industrial Revolution. And so, with the increasing need for raw materials and a new market the ‘Scramble for Africa’ brought political as well as economic impacts to the continent. The main goal of these colonizers were to exploit African
Introduction to set the tone: Che Guevara, the Marxist leader of the Cuban delegation, delivered a speech in New York on 1964 before the General Assembly of the United Nations, in which he condemned the transgressions of imperialist US foreign policy. The first three paragraphs of his speech set the stage for a broader message, which exposed the hardships that imperialism had inflicted on Latin America. He did so by first welcoming the leaders of three new nations who, though not Latin American, suffered similar hardships at the hands of US imperialism, and could relate to the Latin American struggle for self-determination.
Have you ever looked up at someone because of their accomplishments? What about Nelson Mandela? He fought for freedom of people with different types of colored skin. Same with Harriet Tubman and how she risked her life for freedom. What about Malala Yousafzai and her amazing journey on schooling for girls all over the world? These people are amazing, but what did they do that was so incredible?
