The Funeral Of Baroness Thatcher

Previous critics grew nervous of appearing to insult a worthy, now frail, old woman, who was also a mother and grandmother. Above all, the Queen was represented as a symbol of peace and goodness, and as a universal and loving mother. This is why her death was taken particularly bad in Australia, and all Australians felt it personally.

In Margaret Thatcher’s eulogy to her dear friend and coworker, she sympathizes over the death of former United States president, Ronald Reagan.

Her purpose was to emphasize Reagan’s hardworking, reassuring, and friendly personality through the use of different rhetorical strategies, in order to create a sense of pathos. Thatcher was able to pay her respects and covey her meaningful message by using anecdotes, parallelism, and contrast.

The death of Diana was a very heartbreaking event for many people because they regarded her as their role model. Thousands of people waited their turn to sign a condolence book for Princess Diana’s family. And while some people tried to remember her respectfully, others did not have as much luck. Research by the Center for Suicide Research presented that self-harm had increased by 44% in the week after the death of Princess Diana. Researchers explained this as the ‘identification factor’. People who identified with her the most were the ones who were affected the

The famous Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her bed but was it suicide? It was a murder that was unsolved at the time of the death and spread through the news to become one of the most talked about murder mysteries. Was it really a mystery?

Today was the day. Your fourth anniversary with the love of your life, Zack Merrick. These years have been some of the best years of life, but the past year has been kind of tough with him being so busy with tours, being in the studio, and interviews. You were so happy that he was so succesful, but it was taking quite a toll on both of you. For instance, right now you were waiting for Zach to get home from an interview that ran a little late and your were feeling a little anxious.

In Britain, since the 1960’s, there was mass immigration from many countries around the globe, including the majority of people coming from South Asia, Africa and the West Indies. This mass immigration clearly had a direct impact on the transformation of London and turned it into the ‘multi-ethnic city’ that we have today. However, it is debatable whether this entire process of large scale immigration can be considered a ‘smooth process’ due to the fact that there were many challenges that immigrants had to face upon arrival in Britain, as well as well as the backlash of non-immigrants who were not particularly tolerant towards those who belonged to an ethnicity different to their own. Evidence shows that there were many examples of segregation, discrimination and bigotry in London as well as a division in political opinions too. On the other hand, although there were many issues and tensions arising during this period, it can also be seen that in some ways there were many positive outcomes as a result of the large scale of immigration. One of the many ways that this can be seen is through the gradual change in many people’s attitudes towards different ethnic backgrounds, a beginning of integration between people belonging to different ethnic backgrounds and an increasing sense of community between the people of London.

Specific Purpose Statement: To inform the audience about Princess Diana and her contributions to the world.

Throughout life people face countless decisions; however, making the wrong choice may lead to a catastrophic consequence. As a woman was being brutally stabbed in Kew Gardens near Austin Street, numerous bystanders did not help or act upon calling the police. The choice of the bystanders to not phone the police lead to the death of an innocent woman. Had just one of the thirty-eight people called the police, that innocent woman would still have breath in her lungs. In the article “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call the Police,” Martin Gansberg expresses his anger and disapproval toward those who left a poor woman to die. If the thirty-eight people took immediate action and did not make excuses, the precious life of Catherine Genovese would have been rescued.

This speech does have a purpose, which is to tell the whole world that Britain is united in grief and respect for Princess Diana. Unlike the previous text this one does a good job because it does not bore reader because the speech has a unique style of not telling its real purpose until the near end which forces people to listen to the whole thing. Also it knows the subject and the occasion and in which the two things interact nicely. Also the Queen knows her audience who are the people shocked by the devastating news. As a speaker the Queen uses soothing tone that make her look like she is just regular person in grief for her grand daughter and does not mention any negative details like, if she were to have one, which would be her rage against the photographers or the press. In conclusion there is not that much criticism for this text because the purpose can be identified really easily by the stylistic phrases and knowing all the key elements of rhetoric. Also one of the most important factors that make this text more effective is the shift from “I” to “Our”, this pronoun is significance because it demonstrate the speaker to connect with others which is a key element in persuasion or speech.

Séllei (2009) provides two different points of view on the meaning of the fact that the funeral of Queen Victoria is the same day as the narrator's birth. I find it very interesting that she suggests that the date may "signify the cultural moment when Victorian decency and codes of femininity are left behind" (Séllei, 2009, p.
