Speech For Benards Speech

Page 3 This example builds his ethos because he is trying to be relatable to others when they forget that they are not the only ones in the universe. David Wallace creates a sense of honesty when he is explaining how he feels in the grocery store. He describes how long the line

Ethos is to convince someone of character or credibility of the persuader. It puts author

Not only is Ethos and Pathos used effectively in the speech, Logos is as well. Though the use of Logos is used much more indirectly than either of the latter, it is still an important component of the speech. Adm. Mcraven uses Logos by providing support for his statements and lessons taught throughout the speech. For example, Adm. Mcraven explained how one individual could ultimately change the lives of eight-hundred million people by only changing the lives of ten in their lifetime. He supports this claim with mathematical reasoning and evidence, “Ask.Com says that the average American will meet 10,000 people in their lifetime. That's a lot of folks. But, if every one of you changed the lives of just 10 people — and each one of those folks changed the lives of another 10 people — just 10 — then in five generations — 125 years — the class of 2014 will have changed the lives of 800 million people.”

Ethos is a strategy used to assure the audience of the author’s integrity and character. To begin the speech, Wiesel says “Mr. President, Mrs. Clinton, members of Congress, Ambassador Holbrooke, Excellencies, friends”, he is putting himself and the listeners who were not specifically specified onto the same level, to connect better with them (Wiesel, 1999/16, p. 76). He is showing the audience that he is human and respects everyone, but furthermore does not want anyone to

Within Steve Jobs’ Commencement Address, the rhetorical tool Ethos is used. Jobs began by saying, “I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.” Steve Jobs is using ethos to allow the audience to question his credentials to be giving the speech by revealing to them that he did not graduate from college himself. Speaking at a University and

The 2016 Presidential Campaign candidate, Bernie Sanders, believes in creating a better America. In proving to the American people, rich and poor, how great the country can be if all people vote for who is trusted best as future President of the United States. The political figures in government care about money and wealth, not the people. Bernard Sanders would be the best choice for President for the main reason that he is concerned about the issues in America that create inequality for the people. The issues addressed by this candidate will create social and economic equality.

Through the use of logos Winston provides us with the necessary background information to inform the listeners that prior to delivering the speech the British military suffered a great loss in both France and Belgium. In great detail he speaks on the events that have occurred leading up to him speaking, giving both us now and the then listener a better understanding of what he stands for and is fighting for. His use of logos makes the speech more reliable and comforts the audience because it informs them that Churchill knows what he is talking about.

Quindlen uses logos in her speech to give it structure and to help the audience understand her points. Logos is a statement, sentence or argument used to convince or persuade the audience by using logic or reason. In the introduction the author explains how throughout her whole college she strived to be perfect, but it soon turned in to a burden. In the body the author focuses on encouraging

To build ethos a speaker must be both credible and truthful. Both Johnson and Valvano show the usage of ethos in their speeches. In Jimmy Valvano’s speech at the first-ever E.S.P.Y awards, he said, “I coached...for 15 years, and I always have to think about what’s important in

In class we were shown a recording of the speech, “A call to men”. The first thing I noticed was the title, which made me immediately assume it was going to be a female speaker that was going to speak about feminism; or something along those lines. To see a man giving the speech grabbed my attention instantly. The man giving the speech was Tony Porter, and his audience was mostly women, who made me think, “Is this guy going to be giving a speech about feminism?” While listening to his speech I felt guilty for being quick to judge, because his speech was actually about growing up as a male, and being masculine is today’s society. While Tony Porter was giving his speech, he brought up stories that without a doubt every guy in our class could relate to that left many of us saying, “Wow”.

On Wednesday, in less than a ten minutes’ notice, Vice President Joe Biden declared that he will not run in the 2015 presidential election, ending months of confusion and completely changing the Democratic race. With current president Barack Obama and his wife by his side supporting him at the White House Rose Garden, Biden believed that “Unfortunately, were out of time.” Biden also included that he had warned everyone during an interview with the Stephen Colbert’s Show, saying that the death of their son, Beau Biden, could close “his window for a credible White House.”

Famous actors, musicians, politicians, artists and authors are often called upon to deliver commencement addresses at prestigious places of higher learning. It doesn't take Nobel-Prize-winning social scientists or psychologists, or speech professors to predict what these elite guest speakers will say on such occasions such as these. The speaker will tell the graduating class to aim high, never give up, make the most of opportunities, and do as our forbearers did: pull yourselves up by the bootstraps. But when Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks showed up at Vassar College to present the commencement address, his presentation avoided those clichés and platitudes. Hanks was refreshing original and yet remarkably pragmatic. This paper critiques Hanks' themes, examines his rhetorical techniques, and editorially analyzes his purpose.

Graduating from school is only one of the essential tools for a young person to have a successful life. A person endures many long years of schooling, and then the graduation day finally arrives. That special day is one of the most momentous days in a young student’s life. Happiness and sadness are the two emotions a person will feel on that special day. A student will experience happiness because of a significant milestone that was completed in the student’s life. The sad emotions will arise because of a terrifying new chapter in the book of life that is about to begin. Both Bradley Whitford and His Holiness the Dalai Lama give their commencement speeches by using humor to relax the mood of the crowd, making light of their fame, and

Draft speech of Mrs. D. Purandeswari, MoS-HRD (HE) as Chief Guest on the occasion of the Annual Day of the Rainbow Concept School, Mahaboobnagar, A.P on 9th February, 2007 at 5.30 p.m.

At several points throughout someone’s life, it is guaranteed that accusations will be made against them. Some may be true, others may be false, but when they are made it is up to the accused to prove themselves innocent. Within the past ten years, former Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, and Head Coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick faced adversity which came along with accusations made against them. With the use of ethos, pathos, and logos, otherwise known as the three rhetorical appeals, both gentlemen attempted to persuade others to believe in their innocence. After reading both situations it is evident that by using his credibility, being very informative to his discourse community, and sharing intellectual and emotional experience, Bill Belichick was far more successful in accomplishing his persuasive purpose.
