Has greed taken over the world so much? To the point where other humans take over someone else’s life, because it makes people feel better about themselves? Have humans taken away the basic human rights of other people to gain control over the world. In Charlie Chaplin’s film, The Great Dictator, he gives a speech when they call him dictator of the world, and although he may have just been acting, his words rang true. Everyone has to fight for freedom, untie to free the world, to progress together, to free all men. This is a very effective speech, because it capture the audience attention, and in a way plays with their emotions, almost tricking them into believing every word that Charlie Chaplin says is the truth.He makes great points about why the world should work …show more content…
Even though this speech was given in the 1930’s, it highlights the main problems that are wrong with the world. In his speech, Charlie Chaplin knew how to reach the audience’s emotions by connecting himself to the words he was saying. Charlie Chaplin showed the emotion he had through his facial features, and the way his voice varied throughout his speech. He also reached his audience by telling them they have the power to change and free the world, and he actually believed it. He uses many rhetorical devices, such as, addressing the soldiers directly after they had already been to war telling them not to give into brutes (figure of speech), “I should like to help everyone, jew, gentile, black, and white” (repetition), and “as long as men die, liberty will never perish” (parallelism). He uses repetition of words to get his point across, and parallelism to show how our liberty is not really free, gaining his audience's attention. “As long as men die, liberty will never perish.” this quote is saying as long as there are men fighting for our freedom, their will be freedom and
During both of the World Wars, the United States was short on money and supplies for the soldiers overseas, so they made posters to gain support from the people still at home. The posters showcased government bonds that Americans could buy that were essentially loans to the United States government. In order to get people to spend the small amounts of money they had, the posters used emotions and tone to persuade the American citizens to buy the bonds. The term used for the emotional looking pictures to showcase the author’s message is pathos. Many of the posters used during the wars used pathos to get their message across.
Ronald Regan was a friend to some people, and just a president to others, but to Margaret Thatcher Regan was a "great president, a great American, and a great man." Thatcher's eulogy of Regan gave relief to his fellow Americans as she said the great things he has done for this country while he was alive. Throughout this eulogy, she makes her emphasizes her points made by using several rhetorical devices, such as repetition, shifts through her mood, and her diction.
In the article written by Vincent Barnett, he explains the different reasons that Machiavelli might have written “The Prince”. He also mentions the lasting effects of” The prince” and also mentioned how Machiavelli was ridiculed and judged for his brutally honest writing. Barnett mentioned that Machiavelli had lost his job as the secretary to the chancery in Florence. After losing his job he was arrested, tortured, and became extremely bitter. One of the possible motives for writing “The Prince” was that Machiavelli was trying to get reinstated back into his old job. Machiavelli could have also intended” The Prince” to hit the audience as satirical. Possibly to poke fun at all the failures of the political leaders and to make them look unintelligent.
O’Brien, part of the Party, told Winston, “‘You knew this, Winston,’ said O’Brien. ‘Don’t deceive yourself. You did know it--you always known it.’ Yes, he saw now, he had always known it” that he will get caught and knew the consequences of getting caught for thoughtcrime by agreeing to ‘rebel’ against Big Brother; which leads to Winston brainwash (Orwell 239). In 1984, it takes place in Oceania (a small country) during the 1980s, and in the Ministry of Love where O’Brien and Winston were placed inside to help Winston. Involved with Winston’s brainwash is Big Brother, the Party, O’Brien, and guards helping O’Brien. Throughout Winston’s process of being brainwashed, O’Brien used logos, ethos, and pathos to convince Winston to love Big Brother
The advertisement by WWF uses rhetorical strategies such as an establishment of ethos, and an appeal to logos and pathos. WWF establishes ethos by being a world wildlife program who “is at work in more than 40 countries...and collaborating with governments and coastal communities,” which demonstrates their credibility. They appeal to logos by offering statistics such as that “ten million people in sub-Saharan Africa make a living fishing,” and that the “number of fish in their waters has declined by 50 percent.” By offering these concrete numbers and statistics, WWF establishes a logical advertisement. Pathos is appealed by this advertisement by including phrases such as “Protecting the Future of Nature”, “protect marine populations,” and “ensure
Famous philanthropist Stephen Hawking once stated, “We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.” In the world of George Orwell’s 1984, this shared human spirit is abused, neglected, and utterly destroyed. This is most apparent when O’Brien deconstructs the argument of Winston and, in turn, tears down his human spirit. While Winston clings to a persistent hope of the failure of The Party, O’Brien uses logos and pathos strategies to methodically tear apart this belief. This maniacal argument for The Party, the strong imagery involved in the interrogation, and the mental collapse of Winston produce one of the most thought-provoking, saddening, and terrifying scenes in 1984.
After reading your speech “Lament for Confederation” I feel strong empathy towards the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and all the other Indian tribes. I understand that you have been ruthlessly stripped of your culture and language and was forced to attend a residential school. It is tragic to see how once the Indians owned all the Canadian land and now only less than 1% remain; as reserves. With these reserves, it must be hard to follow the generations of footstep when treated this cruel. Hunting, fishing etc.
Prior to Lincoln's election in 1869, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed the expansion of slavery into the northern territories through popular sovereignty. Along with the Fugitive Slave Act, this forced the primarily Republican north to actively support slavery. Although few northerners called for the abolition of slavery, their views aligned with Republican sentiments: to contain slavery in its existing States. Consequently, Republicans gained support in the North and Western territories. Abraham Lincoln, a Republican leader from Illinois, established his stance on slavery during his 1858 Senate campaign. Aligning with Republicans, Lincoln condemned his opponents' views on slavery, denouncing the Dred Scott Decision that declared the
English 10 September 7, 2016 Dear reader, This cover letter will address what I have learned in English 10 specifically on my rhetorical paper of a World War II political cartoon. I will address three main points, the beginning of my paper gives a brief explanation of what my Rhetorical World War II paper consists off, then I’ll be explaining how I was able to take certain criteria and other resources from the political cartoon and develop a claim, and lastly I will explain how I was able to take my instructor's feedback on my first draft and better my paper. Hopefully, all of these three factors could be seen throughout my final paper.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) addressed the nation in a unique “fireside” chat on December 29, 1940 called “The Arsenal of Democracy” ("Franklin Delano"). It was one of twenty-eight fireside chats that Roosevelt would eventually give, but it would become known as one of his best speeches (Roosevelt xi). In this chat he again used the radio to talk to Americans in their homes, where it felt relaxed and informal, despite addressing a serious issue that our nation faced (Roosevelt xi). Roosevelt wanted to tell the people of the United States about a growing threat caused by the Axis powers’ assault on Great Britain. He felt that America had a responsibility to help Britain and in doing so maintain our national security. President Roosevelt took a strong stance on the need to support Britain and in his speech laid out a plan to build an “arsenal of democracy” in the United States that would protect our country as well as our allies ("Franklin Delano").

In his masterful first inaugural address, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt strove to inspire confidence and hope towards him, the government, and in the people themselves.Using the three parts of rhetoric, ethos, pathos, and logos, Roosevelt did three main actions that made the inaugural address succeed: while speaking of the evils of the depression, he contrasted it with reaffirming values of the American people, Roosevelt detailed his plan to make America get out of the depression, and finally, asked, not demanded, the people to put their faith in him. And through that, he managed to begin working to end the American Great Depression.

In addition, having higher moral standards are important and necessary in business, as well as times of investigation.
