    Angela Davis, a renowned political and civil rights activist, was invited in 2012 to Pitzer College to give the commencement speech to the graduating class. Her speech touched on important points in her life as well as many of the values she fought for and believe in. I have never heard her speak before watching this commencement address, and my initial thoughts when hearing her speech was that she was old. Her speech was slow and at first a little boring. However, as her commencement continued onward, she started to get more into rhythm and while she stayed relatively slow, the power behind her words as she spoke made me want to listen more to what she had to say. Angela Davis has had an interesting history as an activist and educator, and

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Patrick Henry's Speech In The Virginia Convention

    545 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first aspect of my speech that enhanced its effect was the rhetorical techniques used. Those rhetorical techniques worked best when there was a specific event or idea that needed emphasis. Most speeches are forgotten minutes after their delivery, so it is with the utmost importance that the presenter makes the most important ideas stick with the audience. For example, in order to emphasize the fact that America had shifted away from its ideas of freedom and equal opportunity, an anaphora combined with a hypophora were used. “Whatever happened to the America full of dreams, the America full of opportunity, the America full of hope?” The rhetorical techniques used gave the line a ‘sting’ to it, making it stay with the audience’s minds longer than if there had been no rhetoric. I chose these techniques because I was ending one of my paragraphes that included one of my major

Take a look at a couple of speeches considered great from not-so-distant history. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech to over 200,000 people in Washington D.C. that was a massive push for equal and civil rights. Winston Churchill gave a speech to the House of Commons, urging others to yearn for victory as he did. But what makes these speeches so great? At the time when each was given—a time stemming social and political unrest—each speech was given to and well received by audience that those speeches concerned. Similarly as Martin Luther King Jr. and Winston Churchill gave speeches that gained

    “We are one nation. We are the United States of America,” Ann Richards said during the Democratic convention of 1988. In the American society we constantly feel the need to become one, Richards uses this value that America holds so dearly as one way to create social cohesion with her audience. According to Johannesen, speakers should not seek to adopt new values or dismiss old values but simply revive existing values and in using these values you create “unity of the spirit”. As a society, after major disaster or event you hear the phase constantly being thrown around that “We are the United States of the America.” You hear the chant of patriotism and by Richards saying that we are one nation in her speech she is telling the public regardless

    Words have a way of making people feel different emotions. The way words are said have such a huge affect on society. During the civil rights era speeches made all the difference and could make or break how people would react to the cause you brought up. Still today public speaking is used in many ways from elections to marketing. Mark Antony and Brutus are able to make speeches using ethos, pathos, and logos to convince Rome for their reason of action and how they are experiencing grief and anger over the loss of a friend.

    800 Words  | 2 Pages

    How can a speech gain complete resonance, or agreement from its audience in a short amount of time? Abraham Lincoln's most famous speech was a great example for gaining the audience's spirits. ''The Gettysburg Address'' was given on November 19, 1863, after the Union won the Battle of Gettysburg. In the speech, Lincoln emphasized the importance and necessity of the Civil War, which was, in his point of view, still worth fighting, despite the horrors of the war. Lincoln did not only argue for his point straightforwardly and list several reasons to support it, but also skillfully apply to audience's rising patriot emotion along with the speech. At the end os the speech, Lincoln successfully gave his audience the passion to keep on fighting the Civil War. By building up his audience's loyal and intensity feelings as well as the speech's climax at the same time, Lincoln's strong argument and expression let people realize and remember what was worth them to fight, the Union. By fully gaining people's minds and attention, Lincoln heartened his audience, touched their deep emotion, and won his audience's resonances with him and his idea that this war is still worth fighting.

    I have also learned about different types of audiences and speeches including persuasive, informative, entertaining and delivering special occasion speeches. It came to my attention that whenever I was making these presentations or speeches, I needed to do so with confidence, consistence and practice before the actual presentation and completely eliminate the element of panic. It was also clear that capturing the attention of the audience and engaging them in the whole process, it was necessary to have a very strong introduction and also try and use visuals to deliver the message. It was therefore vital to respect each person’s diversity and cultural values (Lucas, 2011).
