Through utilizing multiple rhetorical strategies, she enables the troops to feel confident and patriotic through her words, galvanizing them to fight harder and stronger for England. In addition to creating a very motivating tone, Queen Elizabeth employs the use of empowering diction, anaphoras, and imagery to inspire maximum confidence within the valiant troops that plan to fight the strong and powerful Spanish Armada later that day. First, to motivate and inspire the audience, Queen Elizabeth utilizes empowering diction to create an atmosphere of utmost confidence in her soldiers. Queen Elizabeth most notably uses empowering diction when she states, “but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.” This statement is not only intensely empowering, as it invokes nationalism, it also evokes a tremendous sense of ethos, as she hyperbolizes England, and makes the claim that as ruler of the greatest kingdom, she …show more content…
Through inserting phrases such as “in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust” she creates a synthetic atmosphere of the battle in the troops minds and tells them that she will stand through the battle with them. Doing so emphasizes her confidence in the troops and helps empower them. In providing evocative images of battle she prepares her soldiers for what lies ahead, and indicates that she will stand and fight amongst them in spirit. This perpetuates that she wants them to go into battle feeling confident in the fact that the Queen of England is right at their side, fully confident in their
The Grapes of Wrath explicates on the Dust Bowl era as the reader follows the story of the Joads in the narrative chapters, and the migrants in expository chapters.

“Hitler is a monster of wickedness, insatiable in his lust for blood and plunder” (Churchill). These are the words of Winston Churchill, who was the British Prime Minister. Churchill, in my opinion, is the most effective political leader when it comes to power of language, manipulation, and words. Despite being known as a great speaker, the speech he made after Germany invaded Russia was what really showed how powerful he is. He used the elements language, words, and manipulation to make the people understand his side.
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck followed the struggle of farmers recovering from the 1930’s Dust Bowl and accepting their new identities as migrants.

Four and a half months after the Union defeated the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. He gave the Union soldiers a new perspective on the war and something to fight for. Before the address, the Civil War was based solely on states’ rights.

In his speech, Lincoln used the rhetorical devices of juxtaposition, repetition, and parallelism.

Jefferson successfully uses facts incorporated with clever strategies such as figurative language, anaphora, and vilifying verbs to convey the colonies’ frustration with Britain and their need for freedom.

You have shown it to me...You have shown just exactly who you are in here.” This is pathos because the coach bring up how good the team have become.

They don’t need to win the championship to show that they’re the best, they just need to show how much passion they have with football to show that they’re the best team. The coach also said: “ When you take that field today, you’ve gotta lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you’ve got in your body, lay it on the line until the final.” He doesn’t put pressure on the players that they have to win, he speaked how he feel, he speaked from his heart, he just wanted that when the team take the field today, they just need to put all their effort and passion on the field.
