Speech Deliverance In Malala Yousafzai's Speech Against Gun Control

Malala Yousafzai uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos to express the immorality of Pakistani government which coaxes the U.N. to allow women basic rights. Everybody should be granted the right to education, no matter race, gender, or religion. Malala pleads to the U.N. to allow her an education. During her presentation at the U.N. meeting, Malala appeals to the emotions of the representatives of various countries by discussing heartbreaking topics such as terrorism, war, and most brutally, death. While fighting for their basic rights, Yousafzai stated, “thousands

Malala Yousafzai speaks out after she was shot by the Taliban on the left side of her head for attending school. She then decided to recount the event and write a speech which she presented to the United Nations. Her speech was intended to bring awareness to people that education should be available to males and females.

Great speeches are those which timelessly captivate audiences through their integrity and rhetoric treatment. This is relevant to Margaret Atwood’s speech in 1994, Spotty Handed Villainesses (hereafter referred to as Villainesses), and Aung San Suu Kyi’s speech in 1995, Keynote Address at the Beijing World Conference on Women (hereafter referred to as Keynote). The ability of a speech to resonate with audiences is dependent on their effective constructive of rhetoric to support the orator’s main ideas.

For young women in Swat Valley, a district in the northwest frontier province of Mingora, Pakistan, having basic rights such as an education is an issue that has been fought for since its existence. Malala Yousafzai daughter of activist Ziauddin Yousafzai is one of many unfortunate young women who have felt the wrath and despair of the Pakistani Taliban regarding this issue.

John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech is certainly one to remember. It’s memorable not for its length, but for the effective content that it beholds. He entices readers by the use of strong rhetoric techniques. His inaugural analyzes style of writing, such as diction, tropes, schemes, and syntax, and applies the concept of it effectively throughout the speech. A reader performs rhetorical analysis to examine how authors attempt to persuade their audiences by looking at the various components that make up the art of persuasion. Moreover, it is most essential to be able to understand the relationship among the speaker, subject, and audience, which President Kennedy adequately exploits in his speech.

“I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education. And today I am not raising my voice, it is the voice of those 66 million girls.” Malala Yousafzai makes this statement in her speech to the Nobel Committee as the first Pakistani and, at the age of sixteen, the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize Award. Malala was unfortunately shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, due to the fact that she defied a culture that did not allow girls to have an education. Despite her brush with death, she not only recovered, but became a champion for the rights of children and girls around the world to receive an education. Malala delivered a speech before the Nobel Committee

Women’s rights is an issue that needed to be rectified. Malala Yousafzai and Hillary Clinton use rhetorical devices such as logos, allusion, and repetition in their speeches.”Address to the United Nations, July 2013” and ”Excerpts from speech given for the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women, 1995” are the speeches used to stress the importance of women and their rights.

To begin, JFK’s use of rhetorical devices throughout his address had successfully captivate his audience by clarifying, persuading, and engaging his main points to his listeners. For instance, in his speech, JFK uses a plethora of rhetorical devices, all of which played a part in engaging his audience. Of the devices, Anaphora, Antithesis, and Reputation are the three most dominant devices which enthralled the audience. Through his use of rhetorical devices JFK, could create depth and character in his speech. In addition, he can engage the audience’s attention, allowing the audience to be engrossed to his ideas and insights, ultimately persuading them. Thus, through the literary nature and rhetoric devices present in his speech, JFK could seize and sustain the focus of his audience, creating for a persuasive and memorable speech.

An effective orator utilizes the rhetorical appeals of credibility, reason, and emotion to find common values among the audience. Furthermore, despite constructing a sufficient script of relatable vocabulary, a speaker ultimately must use a specific persona and delivery to better connect with the audience. For instance, in George W. Bush’s 9/11 speech, the transcript alone does not provide enough description to fully convey the true, tragic emotions of the occasion. While watching the video it is clear his posture, persona, and delivery reinforce the president’s ethos, pathos, and logos. Initially, Bush establishes his credibility and trust by incorporating first-person plural pronouns like, ‘we’ and ‘our.’ He relates to the audience by referring

Speeches have been an effective way for someone to share their thoughts and opinions about topics for years. Have they continued to be successful due to changes in the way that they are given, or is it because modern-day orators have continued to use some of the same speech techniques? To determine the answer, a comparison of an old political speech to a contemporary political speech would be required. In both speeches, Speech in the Virginia Convention and We are not Afraid, both Patrick Henry and Hillary Clinton use allusion, restatement, and parallelism to effectively state their views.

His speech was articulate and precise to his focus of speech, while at the same time holding the audience’s attention with delicately strung words. His speech gave it’s opposition to the idea of “Nullification”, while at the same time embracing the core values of the government by directing the officials to the importance of this new government to the people and not to the states that represent them. As for great orators of today’s time, one cannot say that our first African- American president, Barack Obama, was nothing short of superb when it came to delivering speeches and announcements to the people of the United States. His ability to rally, quell, and connect to his people was awe- inspiring. President Obama had an eloquence, that was neither perceived as arrogant, nor snobbish, but as true leader devoted to the welfare and prosperity of the people of this great nation. This is why President Obama was such a well received president by most, because he stood for the American dream and exemplified the will and drive the people within this nation. Other great orators include names of people who have passed like Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, President Abraham Lincoln and many more great faces that invoked passion in their listeners and lead great movements during their time. As time passes, orators have to face larger challenges in delivering speeches as media and television have changed the dynamics of deliverance of

Rhetorical phrases can be used in an infinite amount of ways. Of these ways, many are ineffective, while others are on the opposite end of the spectrum. Additionally, only a select few were able to catch those effective usages, and of these people are Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, and Robert F. Kennedy. In many of their passages, these outstanding speakers and writers use many valuable phrases to help convey their points to the audience.

Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for education, especially for females, and equal rights to education in the middle east. She revolutionized education equality for children. She has received many peace awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The Taliban outlawed education in Pakistan, where she lived, for all females in 2009. She continued to attend classes and speak out on her BBC blog, the radio, and was even in a documentary about her life in the middle east and going to school as a girl despite the new law. In early October of 2012, when Malala was 15, she became the victim of an attempted murder by a Taliban gunman. She was shot in the head on the bus ride home from school. She was rushed to the hospital and after being stabilized, she was moved to another hospital to remove the bullet. After her tragic personal experience, she became well known and used her newfound popularity to advocate for education in the middle east. This speech is just one example of the many speeches she gave to bring attention to the problem. She also asked many other influential people with a higher status to help her bring awareness to the cause. To understand Malala’s speech the reader needs to understand what her goal is, what rhetorical devices she uses to reach that goal and how effective the speech is. She is quite effective in getting her goal across to the audience through her speeches by using her public speaking skills to get her audience to agree with what she has to say.

Malala Yousafzai once said, “Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.” This quote symbolizes my growth in my political standpoint; I did not change my views because of myself, rather I had one class that changed my views. I grew up in a small, mostly Republican town in middle America. I assumed I was a Republican because that was the party nearly all of my town agreed with. I accepted the norm. Then, I left Chillicothe for one summer camp where I learned about and discussed different “rights” movements; I realized I no longer could identify as a Republican.

One way that empathy can impact society is by improving education. In Malala Yousafzai’s acceptance speech for the Nobel peace prize, she displays empathy. “My brave sisters Shazia and Kainat were also shot that day on our school bus” (Yousafzai paragraph 24). In this quote, Yousafzai is connecting to the girls who have been shot. She knows that it is the story of many girls. She encourages the girls who have also been shot by saying that, that didn't stop her sisters from learning. Therefore, any other girl who has been shot shouldn't let that stop them from learning. This quotation proves my position because it shows that Yousafzai knows that it is difficult for girls to get education. She understands the strength and courage girls must have
