Throughout the debate, Clinton uses a lot of positive language and good and charismatic terms. She rarely ever uses negative language to describe her candidate or things that he has done and I feel like she could have used some words to help her persuade the audience in listening to her points. Using different terms could have increased her credibility and ability to gain and persuade the audience. I would tell her to focus on certain words that could have helped her make points in a strong and effective way. When she talks about her beliefs and things she would do if she won the presidency is a great time to use words that make her sound like the more credible and reliable candidate. Clinton needed to in some ways match the intensity of her
On April 19, 1995 two former US Soldiers blew up a the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing over 150 people. Bill Clinton, President of the United States at that time, wrote a speech where he shared his sympathy for the friends and family of victims and united the country through his use of parallelism, patriotic language, and inclusive wording.
The opening of Clintons speech effectively captures the audience’s attention; Clinton begins her speech with;
In the fall of 1963 Kennedy’s Administration was preparing campaigns for the election of 1964 in hopes of bringing the fragile Texas Democratic Party closer. The Kennedys headed to Dallas on the morning of November 22, 1963 to attend a scheduled luncheon. On that tragic day President Kennedy was assassinated in a senseless act of violence. Within the next few hours, Vice President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in as president. In the midst of a grieving country, he was given the duty of handling a transition in leadership and presenting an acceptance speech before Congress. LBJ gave his acceptance speech of the U.S. presidency in front of Congress just five short days after John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. Expectations were high but then again no one knew what was to come of LBJ as president. In a time of much confusion throughout the country, it was his responsibility to reassure the American people about the nations’ immediate future and how he would handle the unfinished business and social issues that JFK had begun.
To summarize this analysis, Hillary Clinton shows us how as we unite, the stronger our bond is. She uses clever ways to show this action. Though she did not win this presidential election, she is still loved by many. She helped herself because of the way she wrote and persuaded people to join her. Using rhetorical appeals
...is desire for forgiveness. He was dealing with an unprecedented situation, and handled it well, although the speech did feel cold in a few places. Careful word selection and organization of ideas helped Clinton successfully achieve his objective. Although this was a dark period in the history of the United States presidency, the majority of the people of America were able to accept his apology and move on.
Before stepping into the critical analysis of the speech, it is important to understand the historical setting from which the speech arose. The context can be briefly summarized as the following. In 1995 Clinton had a sexual relationship with one of his White House interns by the name of Monica Lewinsky. On January 17, 1998, a sexual misconduct lawsuit against him was filed. Clinton then quickly delivered a forceful public statement that he did not have a sexual relationship with the woman. However, unknown to President Clinton, Linda Tripp, one of Lewinsky’s associates, had recorded several conversations of Lewinsky describing her affair with the President. In the seven months afterwards, Kenneth W. Starr, the StarWhitewater independent counsel, had began collecting evidence of the affair and carrying out investigation about Clinton’s obstruction of justice. Evidence of Clinton lying under oath would be grounds for impeachment. On August 17, 1998, Clinton decided to a...
One strategy she uses to connect herself with her audience is giving her audience a lot of credit and respect. She often assumes she knows what they want, and that what they want is what she is offering to give. When speaking on her husband and the Lewinsky sex scandal, Hillary Clinton makes it seem as if the American people are above discussing such immature topics as the affair and the allegations, and that they instead are interested in the State of the Union Address.
In 1987, the President of the United States at the time was Ronald Reagan. Everyone has their differing opinions when it comes to judging the quality of the job a President has done. There are many factors that cause biased opinions. Some of these include your political party affiliation, your viewpoint on the social matters that were going on at the time, and your economic standing. Despite all these varying viewpoints, people can agree upon one thing when it comes to Ronald Reagan. That one thing is that in 1987, when turmoil due to post-war political issues split Germany into two sides, Reagan made a speech that is known as “The Speech at Brandenburg Gate” that altered the course of history. His exalted rhetoric was highly touted at the
People will always remember Bill Clinton, for what reason, however, might be different. Some might remember him as a wonderful president who helped our country pull through the millennium unscathed. He protected our environment, promoted education, strengthened our economy, dropped the crime rate, dropped our nation’s poverty levels and had some victories with international policies. At the same time we have health care that is falling apart, some problems with the military and a scandalous affair. Considering this one has to wonder what his legacy will be. A respected leader who learned as he went and made many valuable reforms? Or a president who didn’t hold to his promises, and lied to the country? President Clinton has done many things during his presidency. Some were good some were bad. He made some mistakes and bad choices, but in the whole, he helped our country excel and flourish.
The 2016 election has been said to be one of the most dramatic elections of our day and age. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have taken every opportunity to criticize each other in almost a comedic form. At the Al Smith dinner in New York on October 20th, 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton employs a humorous tone, paired with many oxymorons and an allegorical form of diction to give a light, informal speech at an event for needy children with his Eminence, members of the clergy, and other distinguished guests.
The goal of Hillary’s speech is to persuade her audience that her ideas are valid, by using ethos, pathos, and logos. Hillary is the First Lady and Senator, she shows credibility as an influential activist for woman rights. “Over the past 25 years, I have worked persistently on issues relating to women, children, and families. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the challenges facing women in my country and around the world” (Clinton 2).
She was very convincing. She made sure to point out that she wasn’t saying computers and cell phones are bad and that she sees the reasons there good
As previously stated, Franklin Roosevelt was and is the grandfather of the Democratic Party. In fact, one may say that Franklin Roosevelt is to Democrats as Ronald Reagan is to Republicans. Not only is Roosevelt idolized in Democratic history for his overall presidency and leadership of this country, but also for championing civil liberties and workers’ rights. Given this information and the fact that Hillary Clinton herself bases her own campaign on those issues as well, it is clear why she chose to host her announcement for candidacy in the 2016 presidential election in a place that is dedicated to someone who paved the way for her to be where she is now. Why host it outdoors though? The answer is simple; there is “absolutely no ceiling.” Hillary Clinton here alludes to the “glass ceiling” or the latent, steadfast barrier that has kept women from advancing up the corporate ladder despite having all the qualifications need to advance to a high position. The utilization of location is done in such a way that Hillary Clinton does and references in her speech lays the ideological foundation that Hillary Clinton builds the rest of her speech upon with the goal being that the audience will desire to become part of this
In his prominent 1961 Inaugural Address, John F. Kennedy extensively employs pathos, parallelism, antithesis, and varied syntax to captivate millions of people, particularly to persuade them to stand together and attempt to further human rights for the “betterment” of the world. Kennedy’s effective use of various rhetorical styles succeeds in persuading his audience –the world and the U.S citizens—that his newly-seized position as the U.S. President will be worthwhile for all.
Bills are defined as a draft of a proposed law presented to parliament for discussion. Governor Grey Abbott has vetoed 42 bills so far. He uses the original documents and his conservatism to make his desions . He argues that if the bills will to pass than the state government will grow stronger. The smaller bills that he vetoes, he looks at it and sees if it favors one part of a state more than the other which could be unfair and unethical for the government if it favored one part of a state than another. If he is dealing with criminal and election bills he favors the present state system than making any changes. The large amount of bills vetoed by Grey Abbott has been the largest vetoed bills since Rick Perry who vetoed 56 bills in the year
