Less Is More Graham Hill Analysis

“Can you live in that moment, as best as you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart? If you can do that gentlemen then you’re perfect.” Doesn't take much dose it? This speech has so much meaning and and purpose behind it.

I find that as the speech gets closer to the end, the sentences get longer. This is highly effective, because shorter sentences cause a sense of urgency and forcefulness in his speech.

The rhetorical strategy, repetition, not only works to get the audience involved, it also makes the point of the speech clear and helps appeal to the audience's emotion. Washington explained that he honestly never understood why he would want to fall back on something, instead, he wanted to fall forward, therefore; he would be able to see where he’s actually going to fall. “Fall forward. Here’s what I mean: Reggie Jackson struck out twenty-six-hundred times in his career—the most in

He was able to relate and convince his audience with his strong sound argument. He knew what the people wanted to hear and how to present it. He took the time to study what he believed the American public wanted and how to talk to them in order to get them on his side. He was able to bring in ethos, pathos, logos, parallelism, and antithesis to have a successful persuasive speech. This is a mark of an extraordinary speaker and in his case a politician who was able to persuade the American people to trust in his beliefs and

Once again his overall posture and confident level was excellent. The speaker shows passion for the subject he is speaking on from the hand movements when he speaks on poverty and domestic abuse as being trivial (a means to an end). The speakers volume was just right he spoke high enough for the back of the room could here, and the speech was easy to understand. When given a speech a speaker should consider his audience in the wording of his speech, is he giving a speech to children for educational purposes or a group of college students, this is call no one left behind so the entire audience is on track.

Graham Hill uses syntax considerably throughout his speech. The way the sentences were organized were most important to least important. Doing this, created a better understanding behind the statistics of his theory in the beginning and then had more of an emotional appeal towards the middle and end. Putting the most important sentences first gives the audience a better understanding about Hill’s topic and reasoning behind the evidence. Also, putting the least important ideas towards the middle and end left room for summarizing the important parts and letting more of the audience have a slightly better comprehension of the subject. Most of the facts and statistics were clustered together, whereas the more emotional information was clustered together. The audience is given the chance to think about how personal space has changed over time because “...we have become such good shoppers that we need even

Finally, Clinton shifts to ethos to finish off his speech strongly and efficiently. Without him even mentioning it, his credibility as a speaker is already set due to the fact that he was the last democratic president of the United States which in a lot of people’s opinions qualifies him as someone who could accurately talk about the recovery of the county and know what is going on. Even before he was president, Clinton was also the governor of Arkansas who worked with previous republican presidents such as Ronald Reagan on welfare reform and George H.W. Bush to help with the national education goals, furthering his credibility as a political figure who has the background to sustain the claims he’s making in his speech to support the reelection

Eighner wants to send his readers a message how people are able to live by the minimum resources being happy. People who try to find happiness in “material

President Whitmore also presents the sentences with a certain tone that drastically differs between the words themselves and the effect they emit when actually spoken. When reading the script, some of the valuable persuasion can be lost due to the fact that there is no true voice presenting the dialogue. However, this speech has multiple examples of tone arranged in the piece from the various punctuations and exclamations, sentence fragments, and repetition. Those three aspects carry a majority of the persuasiveness along by adding a mixture of projections to the words allowing for the reader or listener to become locked into the message. The punctuations and exclamations provide a signal indicating which sentences or words exhibit more stress or elegance when read. The sentence fragments break down sentences and provide a phrase that can have a heavier focus to develop more meaning. Lastly, the repetition helps stamp the idea of unity and survival into the reader's thoughts. Although, when the speech is spoken by President Whitmore in the movie the tone completely changes. The script gains more meaning when put into the situation it is meant for and achieves the wanted impression considerably. Even though there is

Washington starts off his speech with pathos. Pathos is appealing to the emotional side of the audience and trying to get an emotional response from them. Washington begins his speech on why he is doing the speech in the first place. His son went to Penn U, so he was already officiated with the school. Him sharing his information about his past with the school makes the crowd feel more relax and less anxious. Knowing the person who is speaking, understands what you are going through helps a lot in building a connection with the Washington. With a smooth beginning, Washington begins to tell jokes about the staff and how everyone here hates the Yankees. Washington, first establishing baseline with the audience, was key to conveyance his message to the spectators. Washington evens tells the people, that he is nervous and uncomfortable for he has not done this kind of speech before. The feeling of knowing this man in front of you is speaking to thousands of people is afraid, even though he is such a famous actor makes you feel empathy for him. This connection is strong for even though he is famous, he can still get nervous like all the graduates. Washington brings up ideas he had for this speech, making jokes about his co-workers and stories of them. He did not decide to use one of those because he wanted to leave a message worth leaving for the graduates that will last a lifetime. Washington even connects with the parents, by saying “I always like to check how my money is getting used, am I right parents?”. (Penn's 2011

The best strength Graham Hill used was formal language, showing that he is educated but he also revert back to informal language to show that he is no different than the audience. “Most of us, maybe all of us, are pretty happily for a bunch of days with a couple of bags, maybe a small space, a hotel room” (Hill). Hill’s repetition shows that he is no different than the average person. Also showing his personal experience and how it

While I was listening to the audio recording of his speech, he sounded so confident when talking to them. He was a persuasive speaker and spoke to his audience with respect and honesty. He began his speech with a strong hook which I believe caught the attention of his listeners and myself. “I

He also did this because He wanted to impress the audience so that they could remember what he was his topic show the importance of the first impression to a people. The last two “Blah, Blah” was mean “ thank you”, He meant this by gave people a bow after he said “Blah, blah” to finish his talk. He also used our daily life example to connect with the audience. He showed to audience the redesign of the Diet Coke can by Turner Duckworth, and compared with the Charlie Brown’s face he had given before. He said that the Diet Coke gave the credit of show just enough information. However, he explain the “Unuseful Clarity: was the post ads that Coca-Cola has bought in the subway. “You moved to New York With the clothes on your back, the cash in your pocket,and your eyes on the prize. You’re on

The audience of the speech is the sophomores of the DC High School. That means that she needs to keep the speech relatively simple, as her audience isn’t very old. As mentioned earlier the speech was held during an educational event. That is the circumstance of the speech and under that she addresses the topic education. The purpose of the speech is to motivate the students to continue their education when they have finished high school in order to succeed later in life.
