Winston Churchill's Speech To Parliament To Protest The Britons

Aristotle, a Greek philosopher, created rhetoric in the fifth century. Rhetoric included three categories. They were ethos, pathos, and logos. Churchill used many different types of rhetoric in his speech which was effective in enhancing the SOAPSTone of his speech. There were many rule of threes in his speech, but one significant one is “We must arm. Britain must arm. America must arm” (Churchill, par. 10). The rule of three supports the purpose and subject of the speeches. The specification of America encourages the United States to join them to fight. Additionally, the use of the pronoun “we”, and specification of Britain and America supports the subject of unity between Britain and the United States. Similarly, the use of a rhetorical question, “We are left in no doubt where America conviction and sympathies lie; but will you wait until British freedom and independence have succumbed, and then take up the cause when it is three quarters ruined, yourselves alone?” (Churchill, par. 8) enhanced the purpose and subject even more. The use of alone and inclusion of consequences that could happen if they don’t unite to fight the Nazis made the purpose and subject very clear. It also creates an urgent tone with the use of wait, succumbed, and ruined. In the same way, the alliteration, “But how much harder our toil for every day’s delay” (Churchill, par. 13) make the tone of urgency very clear through

In the Blitzkrieg bombing of Britain, the country needed support more than ever as their patience was growing thin. It was at this very crucial moment in history when the British were about fall to the Germans overwhelming military when Winston Church gave his famous speech, “Their Finest Hour.” This would be the speech that changes the tide of the war, and inspired the British people to rally together against the German forces. In his famous speech, he focuses on the patriotism of the British people and letting them know that this war was far from over, and they weren’t going to go down without one heck of a fight. The reason this speech was so successful and uplifting was because Churchill was able to present it in a way to make all the British

As Great Britain had found itself at war against Germany in 1940, Winston Churchill delivered an influential and famous speech known as “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat.” As the new Prime minister, Winston Churchill declares that he is willing to do everything in his power by whatever means necessary to secure victory for Great Britain against Germany. Churchill states his plans such as forming a new administration and war cabinet in preparation for the great war, and asks that Parliament and the people put trust and confidence in him and his plans for the nation. Churchill also encourages and motivates his people to fight with all their might and strength to obtain victory and triumph against a “monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.” For without victory, there would be no survival for the British Empire or for mankind. In his speech, Churchill discusses his plans and intentions for the nation to prepare for the time of war against Germany. He states that his aim is, “ Victory at all costs -Victory in spite of all terrors -Victory, however long and hard the road may be...” to stress the importance of prosecuting the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion and that victory is key to our survival.

Queen Elizabeth delivered an inspiring speech to the Troops about their honor and power over this astonishing war. Years later, Winston Churchill delivered a majestical yet powerful speech about the issue dealing with battle of Britain and the problems needing to be healed. Queen Elizabeth and Winston Churchill both delivered inspirational speeches to their troops and countries dealing with the battle of Britain. The Queen delivers her speech to the courageous group of men and women who fought this rigid, enduring war. Churchill delivers his speech to the House of Commons. While analyzing and juxtaposing these two speeches and their contrastive audiences; it is very clear to see the vivid diction and emotions used in their speeches.

Churchill had faced many challenges and set backs all through his life before he became one of the most influential leaders in our modern history. Churchill was passed on by members of his own political affiliation and the British monarchy to be elected as a member of the house committee. He was only approached, during time of need; when British government realized the lack of the right candidate to engage and diffused the German hierarchy with their ever increasing threat of war. We face challenges all through our lives. We set goals, make mistake, and have failures. And then we only succeed by not fearing the failures,

Winston Churchill said "This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But perhaps, the end of the beginning" (As qtd. In Donovan 116). This quote is perfect to show motivation for Churchills values, actions and it is a good representation of his character. Winston Churchill was born on Novembers 30th , 1874 to Lord Randolph Churchill and an American girl, Jennie Jerome. Churchill grew up in a middle class family living In a palace, but socially as commoners. In his early years, Churchill was described as "[A] Forward little brat" because his motivations to get what he wanted were so strong (Donovan 113).

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.
