A good speech normally affects us by the words, the body language of the speaker, and the emotion we feel by speaker 's different tone. On September 20, 2014. Emma Watson, a famous movie actress known for her movie series, "Harry Potter," launched a speech at the United Nations called,"HeForShe." In her speech she was using audience appeals, repetition, diction to argue the reality of the gender inequality that still existed and call for actions taken by men and women together. The definition of audience appeal is "the quality of being attractive to an audience"(Collins English Dictionary). Emma was using her good reputation trying to get more attention about the subject she brought up. In her speech, she starts with a simple appeal:" I am reaching out to you because I need your help." By asking for help, she successfully gets audience 's attention and makes them wonder what kind of help she needs. At last paragraph, she said: "I am inviting you to step forward, to be seen to speak up; to be the ‘HeForShe’ - and to ask yourself if not me, who, if not now, when." Those direct asking urges audience to think about it and forward take actions. We can notice that repetition she uses many times in her speech. Repetition serves many purposes by repeat the same word or same sentences, one purpose is to restate the ideas the author wants the audience to remember; another purpose is to emphasis the important message the author wants to deliver.

Her most powerful use of rhetoric in her speech was by far pathos. She has used herself being shot as an advantage into the audience's emotions.
From the beginning she pulls the readers attention, she uses a metaphor “Eventually being perfect day after day, year after year, became like always carrying a backpack filled with bricks on my back”(Quindlen, 296). This metaphor is the most significant part of her speech as she continues to refer to this metaphor throughout the speech. She uses this for the purpose of appealing to the audience in a meaningful, and personal way, creating a connection between her and the audience as most students, not only college students, can probably relate to the feeling of being heavily put down by something , not necessarily what she is talking about. Her use of pathos is what makes the speech so appealing and interesting, because she makes it so relatable and easy to understand.
