One way that King furthers his purpose is through his use of pathos. Pathos is using emotion to convince an audience or to persuade. Near the middle of his speech, King states that, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” (383). Mr. King uses pathos to communicate with his enormous crowd by doing the following: King uses his four children in his speech to appeal to the emotions of the crowd.

By mentioning his children, King, not only is he a leader, but he is a family man.

For example, King says, “And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream” (383). King succeeds in convincing the peoples emotions in his favor by creating a warm, aspiration atmosphere, to uplift the mood of his people. A parent himself as well as the parents in the crowd, he mentions the future of his four children and the

In the short stories, “On Stuttering,” by Edward Hoagland, and “Me Talk Pretty,” by David Sedaris, the authors discuss how they dealt with their speech impediments.

While The Kings Speech draws upon a number of historical facts and events, this is not its primary concern. The film is about the effect of a person’s family on how the person develops. For example, in The Kings Speech, King George VI’s brother abdicating and his father’s cruelty played a part in his stammer and lack of confidence. The film is also about the importance of a secure support system, for example Queen Elizabeth and Lionel Logue were Bertie's support system and they helped him overcome his stammer and lack of confidence.

Desplat’s ‘Memories of Childhood’ fades in slowly as he begins to read his speech. The camera begins to pan from Bertie’s face to his past leaders and family and finally his father. The song implies that the reason Bertie is failing to read his speech is due to these ‘Childhood Memories’. This added with the image of his father create another ‘test’ that Bertie takes on, to overcome his childhood memories to conquer the remorse over his father. Hooper uses this choice of music to imply how Bertie’s childhood has left him corrupt.
