    thoroughly, the speech by Antony was much more effective than the speech by Brutus. I think Antony’s speech was more effective because he connected more emotionally than Brutus did. Brutus did give a good speech but I think Antony’s was much better. I think Antony’s is better because he gives more examples to the people. Another reason Antony’s speech is liked by the Romans is, he does not directly say the good things about Caesar. Antony does not directly say anything bad about Brutus so his speech sounds

    John F. Kennedy was great at being president and making speeches before he was assassinated. In his inaugural speech he tell us to work on making america an even better place.

    years but one speech that stands out to me is John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address. That speech had what a lot of other speeches did not; the power to move people’s hearts. It was a simplistic speech and that was a good thing. Instead of talking about just the American people he talked about the world as a whole. He also made great use of alliteration to keep a good flow with the speech so it almost sounds like a poem. These are all points that I will talk about to explain why JFKs speech was so moving
