We Shall Fight On The Beaches

The Purpose of this speech is to gain support for a freedom movement from the British government. One can see this when he states, ?Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the

Patrick Henry asks the audience “I ask, gentlemen sir, what means this martial rray, if it's purpose be not to force us to submission?” (Para, 3) He builds this logo by using a rhetorical question, to let the audience think about his question. He wants to let the audience think about the reason why Great Britain is acting like that. Henryalso states the fact, “Are fleets and armies necessary to awork of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwillingly to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love?” (Para, 3) He contains a statement and a fact in this quote. The fact is, that Great Britain is using fleets and armies and the statement is, that those are not neccesary for reconciliation. Therefore he asks his audience for their opinion. He wants to get them on his side. Finally Patrick henry says, “They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when sall we be stronger? Will it be next week, or the next year?” (Para, 5) he says that their responsibility is to fight right now. They can't wait even longer and let Britain humilate them. Patrick Henry calssifies the conflict and states that in this quote. Logos are important, because the statements as well as facts, let the audience think about the theme and involves them into the

Even before the climactic World War II, Churchill’s mental war starts with the Indian Independence movement. Churchill was brusque about his opinion on the movement, knowingly showing his opposition to the public. “To Churchill, all Indians were the pedestal for a throne. He would have died to keep England free, but was against those who wanted India free.(Tondon, n.d.)” With this ornery still in the mind of the public and government officials, Churchill’s 1940 election was met with opposition. In Churchill and Orwell, “Peter Eckersley, a Tory MP, predicted that “Winston won’t last five months.”(Ricks, pg. 91)” The general public were critical of such a disposition leading the United Kingdom during a time struggle. Even with the public’s pessimistic prospect of him, Churchill’s resilience will become a favorable trait to exhibit in this psychological war.

Sir Winston Churchill’s speech, ‘We Shall Fight on the Beaches’ was a wonderful piece of moving rhetoric. The diction that Churchill uses to deliver his message is not so advanced that one cannot understand him easily, but still manages to portray a sense of Churchill’s deeply intellectual status

Harold Ickes was successful in presenting his speech by using great rhetorical devices appealing to his audience logically, emotionally, and ethics. As I read Harold Ickes’s speech the words summed up the emotion of the time so perfectly. The time was when Hitler and the Nazi army was headed for world domination. His intents were to influence American citizen to unite as a country.

It is a speech that has a material presence in the modern day where leaders like John F. Kennedy among others have quoted it urging their countrymen to overcome challenges and soldier ahead despite the prevailing circumstances. A lot of inspiration has been drawn from the speeches made by Henry V.

Queen Elizabeth wrote an inspiring speech to the Troops who fought for the Armada about their honor and power over this astonishing war. Alongside, Winston Churchill delivered a majestical yet powerful speech about the issue dealing with battle of Britain and the unifications needing to be healed. Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill both delivered exhilarating speeches to their troops and counties with the battle of Britain. The Queen delivers her speech to the courageous group of men and women who fought this rigid, enduring war. While Winston delivers his speech to the House of Commons. While analyzing and juxtaposing these two speeches and their contrastive audiences; it is very mere to see the compelling diction, dynamic emotion used in their speeches.

Logos is defined as an appeal to logic. I feel like he uses this the most out of all of the other ones because this speech is meant to appeal to logic because it is reasons on why we need to end the war. The first time he uses logos is when he starts talking about why we are in need of peace. In the speech he says “We entered this war because violations of our right had occured…” (1). I feel like this is a logical explanation as to why people go to war and why this war had begun. Therefore, it appeals to your logic.

in 1940 was “We shall fight on the Beaches”(Churchill 341). These words inspired all of Britain

The Secretary of State for War from 1912-1914, Jack Seely, once said about Winston Churchill, “Real danger unnerves most men; it nerved him.” Although said as a reflection of Churchill’s actions on the Western Front of the Great War, it can easily be applied to Churchill’s life, personality, and leadership style. In truth, there is no lack of words in the English language that Churchill loved so much that can be used to describe him. Both friends and enemies that knew him easily jumped at the bit to label him as arrogant, a warmonger, a bully, boastful, prideful, a glory-seeker, and obsessive. These same friends and enemies, and people that switched between the two, would also refer to him as perceptive, knowledgeable, a forward-thinker, witty, a true leader, and brilliant in the same breathe.

Winston Churchill’s “We Shall Fight on the Beaches” speech is arguably one of the most memorable and inspirational speeches by a top leader in the Second World War. Churchill delivered the speech to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom on June 4, 1940, approximately four weeks after he was made prime minister of Great Britain. The speech itself was a report for the House of Commons on how the warfront proceeded, regarding all aspects of the British armed forces. Prior to the speech, Britain had suffered a major military loss in France and Belgium, after assisting Belgian people to defend their country from German intrusion. Unfortunately, the British’s attempt to protect Belgium was unsuccessful as King Leopold of Belgium later surrendered to Nazi Germany, leaving thousands of French and British soldiers stranded at the harbour of Dunkirk in northern France.

I choose Winston Churchill’s speech “We shall fight on the Beaches” to read and discuss, because I have always heard how important Winston Churchill’s was in helping win the war (McKay & McKay, 2008). The speech is taking place in the House of Commons and after a major defeat of the British and French forces trying to protect Belgium at the request of Belgian’s king. He praises the bravery of the British and French forces that fought the more powerful and better equipped Germans, that they didn’t give up and even retreating was a heroic fight because the Belgian’s surprising surrender left their flank wide open and escape route getting overrun by the Germans. He is trying hard to give hope to the British people, praising that their perseverance and grit will keep them fighting with all the resources they can find.

Winston Churchill gave a speech on May 19,194 when he became Prime Minister. He gave this speech during World War II to discusses the war and why they fight until the end. Churchill goal in his speech is to inform, he not the only person to use this news broadcast use this to tell the people what is going on. Churchill had different goals to write this speech,this paper is going to examine how Churchill wrote his speech to inform everyone. Just like how news broadcast purpose is to inform people, Churchill use that same technique.

Winston Churchill is trying to claim that we are in control of our own lives. He was the prime minister of England during World War II, so it makes sense that he would try to say something motivating to the English army to continue fighting and not give up. Churchill was popular and favored amongst the English because of his views, therefore this quote would be meaningful to the soldiers. The prime minister's goal is to make an attempt to motivate his audience of tired soldiers. Therefore, he encourages them to keep fighting because there is hope in winning the war because the Nazi dictatorship cannot determine the fate of England and Europe.

Churchill begins “We Shall Never Surrender” by providing vivid descriptions of the life and environment of war to describe the hardships, then follows up with showing that the strength that the troops had together helped them overcome specific events. He continues to use repetition to emphasize the importance of staying together and not losing hope in order to provide small victories, one at a time. Churchill’s courage to speak up during such a disturbing time helped assist the nations morality by providing hope and encouragement in the bloodshed time of war. When a nation felt defeated Winston Churchill used his powerful voice in “We Shall Never Surrender” to lift the nation’s spirits
