The Rhetorical Analysis Of Aston Kutcher's Speech

Winston Churchill, a legendary Prime Minister, led Great Britain through some of its darkest times: World War II. The speech he gave to the House of Commons on June 4, 1940, aptly nicknamed the “We shall fight on the beaches” speech, carried great importance to his people. In the days before the speech, the British faced a heavy military loss in Belgium and France. Belgium surrendered to the Nazis, stranding numerous French and British troops at Dunkirk and neighboring beaches in France, fully exposed to the advance of the Nazi war machine. With the ocean as their only feasible direction of retreat, the Navy organized all its resources to pull the men out from Dunkirk over the English Channel and bring them back to safety in England.

Wes Moore, writes how to find you own individual “Work,” we usually say find what you are passionate about, or purpose in life. He believes, how you deal with challenges and adversities, and what you stand for will often times set you on your journey to greatness or failure. Therefore, when you know what you’ll stand for, Moore states, “you will find your greatest joy, and you’ll find your point in being her in the first place.” (Moore, 2015) However, while on the journey Moore encourages life, enjoy the journey, have fun.

Throughout her speech to the Philadelphia Convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, she stresses the importance of changing the working conditions that are in place for children.

With this he also presents himself as nervous or unsteady throughout majority of the presentation, making it hard for the audience to be drawn in by his presentation. This making Hunter’s overall speech somewhat effective, due to both his ethos and paths appeals, being significantly weaker than his logos

The Civil War has been one of the most pivotal moments in American history. The was would change the way American functioned, as its main goal was to abolish slavery and promote equality. Yet, although the Civil War’s main goal was to gain rights for African Americans, they were still not allowed to fight for the Union army in 1861. As a response to this, Alfred M. Green (an African American himself) expresses his frustration with this situation by giving a speech to his fellow African Americans. He reveals that he believes that they should work harder to join the Union Army and he does so fervently.

In Gadamer's writing I believe that his master metaphor is that man can only achieve higher learning through exchanged dialogue. I believe that his main point was to explain that man's limited ability to reason is due to conditional thinking. In order for man to gain knowledge he must be exposed to new concepts, idea, and situations without allowing his prejudices to interfere with his experience. He spends a great deal in the beginning of the article trying to dismantle the conventional definitions of what experience and insight mean. He emphasizes the importance of listening, ones ability to be open, and the art of asking questions.

Ancient rhetoric.” After hearing what he said, I couldn’t stop watching the video, because I always wanted to know how to speak like leaders.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Social media, magazines, new fads-- the list goes on. Today, society overflows with everyone-is-doing-it situations. Exponential amounts of pressure are placed on teenagers especially, telling us to fit into what society says is acceptable. Nevertheless, thrown in the middle of all of that are the people that decide to stand up against all of that and accept the life they have. Breaking out from the norms of society, these people are the ones who, in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, have achieved “the greatest accomplishment.” Although it is easier said than done, it is of the utmost importance to jump off the bandwagon and turn your life into your own.

Jobs supports his assertion by stating personal anecdotes about times in his life when he was very pleased with his life and times where he was scared for his life. The author’s purpose is to persuade the young generations to be amazing in order to help them realize that as long as they do not give up they can do great things and achieve so much.
