Within England in 1968, new policies were put into force that made it illegal to refuse people with the ethnic background of any employment, public services and housing. In the same year of the release of the policy, Enoch Powell a conservative MP of Wolverhampton delivered a speech in South West called “Rivers of Blood.” He explained that Britain was “literally mad” to allow mass immigration from Commonwealth countries and disagreed on allowing more people into the country, as he felt that the country had let a majority of people in; therefore he felt that England was “mad.” Powell uses Roman literature with his predictions that there would a disaster in Britain, he quotes, "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I
Due to the migrant’s actions, it was leading to many local residents gaining fear. Powell quotes one of the many residents saying “If I had the money to go, I wouldn’t stay in this country…in fifteen or twenty years’ time, the black man will have the whip hand over the white man” (Telegraph). Local residents know that over time the migrants will take over Britain and due to their rise in population, the British will become a minority, which compels them to either leaving the country or move out the areas that are getting overpopulated with
This caused a lot of racial discrimination between the different cultures; therefore, many residents felt threatened and left those areas. Enoch Powell spoke for his nation as he felt it would be a “betrayal” if he did not speak because he could see the current situations and the future; therefore, he reported the issue to the parliament about the migrants and how the numbers will only increase in the future and the country will be overpopulated by migrants and immigrants, which is the current issue in Britain right
Diction: While George Orwell used fairly simple and uncomplicated diction to tell the story many of his words still have a very powerful diction. In the first chapter the protagonist Winston is attack by the smell of “boiled cabbage and old rag mats”. This is the first indication to the nature of the living conditions of our protagonist. However, Orwell also uses his diction to create the atmosphere of Oceania with lines like “the world looked cold. Down in the street little eddies of wind were whirling dust and torn paper into spirals, and though the sun was shining and the sky a harsh blue, there seemed to be no colour in anything”. These lines contain powerful words like cold, torn, and harsh and these worlds help paint the picture of what kind of story we are reading.
Joseph McCarthy was a man of many talents, oration being one that surpassed the majority of the rest. McCarthy’s ability to use motifs, tone, and repetition in a way that supported his message impeccably was one of the reasons he excelled at persuasion.
Not only do affluent individuals see the migrants as uneducated and penniless, but also as easily agitated human beings. Because farm workers are afraid that these migrants may someday take over their farms, they try to make the migrants’ stay more unwelcoming.

What Colin Powel ideas in Ted Talk "Kids need structure" (October 2012) are that we need to structure our children to meet a develop effectively so that children have a more vintage later in life. Colin Powell gives a speech on Ted Talks in which he gives examples why children need structure in their lives. It is important that we come together as a community to help the younger cohort. There is to many of this cohort that lives with a single parent, parents that both work, or with their grandparents and in most cases the children lack structure. In conclusion, most of these kids lack the interaction with parents, family, friends, neighbors, peers, colleagues, and community. Colin Powell successfully convinces his audience that structure at a young age imperative through the use of personal experiences and knowledge, paired with the emotional appeal of anecdotes and stories; in addition, Colin Powell employs an effective tone about how people can help kids in their own community be successful.
In the beginning of his essay he also talks about himself as a descendant of an Irish Catholic family who was one of the original groups to be fought against by anti-groups. He uses the word Alien five times throughout his essay, this helps make the reader feel uncomfortable with the way we look at immigration. He then tells us this "… a group once decried as separatist and alien, have become presidents, senators, and representatives (and all of these in one family, in the case of the Kennedy's)" (Cole, 617). And Coles last paragraph also helps convey why being against immigrants isn't the right thing. He says that "I was always taught that we will be judged by how we treat others" (Cole, 618). Then he finishes saying that if that the case then we are in trouble because we won't want to be treated that way.
“Remember, remember always, that all of us, and you and I especially, are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.”
George Orwell’s book nineteen eighty-four was an opportunity to warn society about the dangers of control and where we as the future could be heading.

races as a whole were relocated and forced to work for little to no pay for someone else
Let’s take a step back to 2008 in Philadelphia. Neither the city nor year suggests that history is going to be made. On March 18, 2008, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Barack Obama took the stage and delivered a speech that would portray the racial landscape of his presidency. In his speech, Obama points out rhetorical tactics to support his argument that we as Americans in this country need to be united for racial equality to exist. He begins his speech with a back story to highlight the kairotic moment present, then appeals to pathos through lots of examples of racial injustice to signify the need for such change, and then uses his appeals to ethos to suggest ways of change for Americans, both black and white. The speech was very successful: people from both sides praised his bravery, and later the same year, Obama demolished McCain in a close victory to secure his presidency.
Sir Winston Churchill’s speech, ‘We Shall Fight on the Beaches’ was a wonderful piece of moving rhetoric. The diction that Churchill uses to deliver his message is not so advanced that one cannot understand him easily, but still manages to portray a sense of Churchill’s deeply intellectual status without being condescending. It is a very inspirational piece, a moving speech, and a powerful call to action aimed to uplift the downtrodden population of Britain at the time. Churchill responded to the need for inspiration with his now-famous speech. His use of rhetoric not only inspired Britain, but was a powerful tool that brought about a final victory over the Nazis.
decades, what we call module verbs. These are verbs like can, must, will, shall, etc.…’”’ (Rosen & Arts 1). First, the language used by Orwell’s society recognized as Newspeak, which is just the English language but simpler by cutting out the complicated vocabulary and making up new words that sound childish, is just simply a rubbish or slang version of English. The way they cut out complicated words in English trying to make it simpler resembles how the government’s ruling is not complicated at the least and they try to avoid this factor by being simpler in their ways of carrying out orders or propagandas. By cutting out words from the English language instead of expanding, this resembles an imaginary barrier made of the toughest substances,

The Second World War marked one of the most important eras in the history of the British Empire. Never before had the British isles faced a threat quite like the Nazi menace across the English Channel. Yet, Britain’s situation could be viewed as even more precarious once one considers the state of Britain’s economy, but more importantly war machine, at the outbreak of the war. Years of austerity during the Great Depression had left her armies in serious decay, while Germany had built arguably the strongest military in the world. Yet, Winston Churchill’s famous “Their Finest Hour” speech illustrates a level of confidence in victory that many Brits carried. And, this was in no small part due to the fact that they knew that they had the rest of the British Empire supporting their cause. Through the empire’s contribution of both materials and
