Martin Luther King Jr. "I have a dream"

1. The main point of his speech is that he was to talk about the problem between blacks and whites.

2. It is Logos and Pathos

3. He added repetition " I have a dream"

4. The historical context is that he talks about what is happening to the Negroes since there are being treated unjustly.

5. I think that this speech is effective because it is very long and effects the heart and makes you feel sorry for the  Negroes that they are treated unjustly and badly. This makes me think that white people can be very horrible and  say that they own anything. In my opinion, Martin Luther King's speech should change some peoples minds especially white people.

3 speeches on how to convince your parents

Speech 1 Pathos: Why do I have to study a lot before assessments? I know that I will do my best and learn from things but why? I never been so horrible to you just to deserve this! What am I to you? A mean creature and you trying to tame it? I read the same thing over and over again and you treat me with disrespect. Are you really parents? Do you know how to take care of a kid, do you know how to make them happy? I think not! Even though you make me work so hard, I still love you and I just really want to have a little break because this is not tyranny and you can't rule over me.

By the way, if you make me work a lot, then I will get a headache and can't remember anything and if I take 

breaks, I would do much better in the assessment since I had a good rest. Now you wouldn't want me to fail the assessment would you now? Forcing me to work harder does not apply to helping me.

I really just want to wish that you would go more easy on me instead of pushing at me tons of assessments to work on all week, please be patient and kind to me, I don't want this problem to happen again.

Speech 2 Logos: Is there a reason why I have to study before assessments? Are you overworking me because this would not be good since this can affect my health and way of working. Apparently, if I work all night, then I would have headaches which can make me forget important questions and answers making me fail my assessment. Do you know how important an assessment is? A lot, and of course I have to revise for it but too much revision can lead to stress and can lead to fainting.

You see when people faint, they can forget a lot of things such as very important points for important questions such as long paragraphs, it can also cause stress which can damage relationships and that is not good is it? Working and studying all night can lead to getting tired during the assessment!

Now you know the dangers of what can happen if you work me up so hard, you should try and go easy on me and give me a few breaks.

Speech 3 Ethos: Why is it that I have to study a lot for assessments? This could affect my health, I normally get 9 hours sleep and if that is less than studying, I will not get enough sleep and therefore sleep during assessments, I know that study is very important since it goes towards my future results but what is also important is my healthy condition. I can't work if I am tired or in a stressed mood.

You see when I work so hard, I feel very wary for some reason and I realized that I have worked past my bedtime. When I try to go to sleep, all I can think about is study study study until my head hurts and then I forget everything I learnt and what I did during the hours I have studied, all to waste!

However, if I take a break, I can cheer up, get a good sleep and do very well in the test. Just give me a break and I can do my best!!

Abraham Lincoln: The Gettysburg Address

1. This speech is only three paragraphs long while the third paragraph is very big

2. The conclusion is somehow rather bigger than the body

3. The main point is that he wants to talk about is the civil war that is happening in Gettysburg

4. He used a lot of emotive words and statistics of facts.

5. The reason why the concluding statement is important is very emotional it goes into citizens hearts and of the word "people".

Patrick Henry-"Give me liberty or give me death"

No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free-- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

The language technique that stood out are rhetorical questions

Julius Caesar speech

1. The main point of Antony's speech is that he came to bury Caesar and not to praise him.

2. This is based on the Logos appeal because the logic is that Caesar is dead.

3. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;
The evil that men do lives after them,
The good is oft interred with their bones,
So let it be with Caesar ... The noble Brutus
Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Caesar answered it ...
Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest,
(For Brutus is an honourable man;
So are they all; all honourable men)
Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral ...
He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man….
He hath brought many captives home to Rome,
Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?
O judgement! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And men have lost their reason…. Bear with me;
My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,
And I must pause till it come back to me.

Susan B. Antony speech of woman's vote

1. The speech is based on the Pathos appeal because it talks about what women would feel like since they were left out on very important things. " And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot." This is one of the quotes that make you feel sorry for women.


2. The main idea of her speech is talking about a woman's rights. Here is one sentence in the speech that shows that it talks about a woman's rights " By it the blessings of liberty are forever withheld from women and their female posterity." 


3. Introduction:

"Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.

Body: 

The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." 

"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.
For any state to make sex a qualification that must ever result in the disfranchisement of one entire half of the people, is to pass a bill of attainder, or, an ex post facto law, and is therefore a violation of the supreme law of the land. By it the blessings of liberty are forever withheld from women and their female posterity.
To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed. To them this government is not a democracy. It is not a republic. It is an odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever established on the face of the globe; an oligarchy of wealth, where the rich govern the poor. An oligarchy of learning, where the educated govern the ignorant, or even an oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex, which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters, of every household - which ordains all men sovereigns, all women subjects, carries dissension, discord, and rebellion into every home of the nation.
Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office."

Conclusion:

"The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void, precisely as is every one against Negroes."

Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote.

Susan B. Anthony - 1873

Aristotle's 3 modes of persuasion

Pathos: Appeal based on emotion

Logos: Appeal based on logic or reason

Ethos: Appeal based on the character of the speaker

I chose the speech in Remember the Titans where Coach Boone spoke

Anybody know what this place is? This is Gettysburg. This is where they fought the Battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fightin' the same fight that we're still fightin' amongst ourselves today.
This green field right here was painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin' right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men:

'I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family.'

You listen. And you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together, right now, on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed -- just like they were. I don't care if you like each other or not. But you will respect each other. And maybe -- I don't know -- maybe we'll learn to play this game like men.


This speech is based on the Pathos appeal because about a lot of emotion since he talked about blood and the blood of where they are standing right now such as: "This green field right here was painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin' right through their bodies" This shows that a war has occurred here about integration. Coach Boon also talked about saying the dead can speak " Listen to their souls, men: 'I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family.' You listen. And you take a lesson from the dead." All these words were made into emotion and that is why this is based on the pathos appeal.

Speech to the troops of Tilbury

Speech to the troops of Tilbury

My loving people,

We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery(For fear of a traitor that is going to kill her); but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects (She hits hard in trust); and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, 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. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, (Not very strong but she wants to be part of the battles) and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. (Showing Responsibility) I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean time, my lieutenant general2 shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.

3. She says that she says that she is weak but then she will still fight. "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king.".

4. It was effective because she wants everyone to save and work in honor of her

Al Pacino's inch by inch speech

1. When he talks about himself, he has very deep emotions and sounds regretful when talking about his own life and his difficult times and what mistakes he has made. He believes he has lost his youth for things he has not done. He talks about his failures and successes and he uses that to motivate his young football players so they could sacrifice for their teammates, inch by inch so that they can climb back out of failure. He got a lot of failures but he has gained a lot from it by every inch that requires sacrifice and discipline.

2. The effects of Al's speech, is that he put a lot of volume, power, authority and emotion which touchees the players' hearts for example, the speech says, "On this team, we fight for that inch, we CLAW with our fingernails for that inch.". Al Pacino even uses very strong words and life's teaching to put fear into the players to they can be challenged to play their best. For example, the speech says:"When we add up all those inches that's going to make the *beep* difference between WINNING and LOSING, between LIVING and DYING.". Therefore, Al Pacino's speech is very motivational that the players all started cheering and all ready to play the game for each other.

2009 Naplan speech

One day, Stan was walking home from School. He can't wait to tell his parents about what he has learned from school today. It was about an ancient city that had the secret of understanding animal language but had disappeared from the face of the Earth. He thought to himself, "What a strange place! Does it actually exist?" As he got home, he was mysteriously greeted by a sad face from Dad and Mom and their piece of sad news: Both were sacked.

"But how could this have happened?" Stan stammered. He had no idea how they would get sacked since they did not do anything wrong in their work.

"We had no idea too but they said how to actually get our job back though" His father said

"We have to discover the ancient city of animals and take a picture to show the animal language does exist." Stan's mother continued.

"WHAT!?!?!? But I was learning that from School!" Stan face went completely blank...

At night time, Stan was up on his bed listening to the crickets singing a harmony in unison with a melody from the birds. At that moment, something changed inside him...something snapped.

"Meet me at my house ASAP ok? Don't ask why now, I tell you when everyone gets here!" Stan slammed down the phone and stared to wait for his friends to come. Two minutes later, Daniel came over panting and then glancing at Charcoal, Stan's dog and yelped. "Be quiet my parents are still sleeping." Stan said

"You know I get scared when dogs just look in the eye don't you?" Daniel retorted. Four minutes later, Cindy and Flora were next to come, Cindy was wide awake since she has some sleeping disorder but Flora was still droopy.

"Sorry guys I had to call you at night." Stan said and his cheeks started turning red
"Hmph you never say that to me since I'm not a girl" Daniel puffed
Seven minutes later, Daniel's last friend Luke came along
"Mum gave me a long lecture about being safe so sorry I am late." Luke said
"No worries so don't think about it" Stan said

Stan described about his parents losing their job and to find the city to get the animal language. Apparently Stan knows where it is, his conclusion: The dog hotel where Stan puts Charcoal in whenever Charcoal gets naughty.
"Why a dog hotel!?!?!?" Everyone replied shocked, even Charcoal barked.
"The dog hotel is a cover up, now lets go before we get grounded!" Stan said.
As everyone packed their supplies and went on the journey to the dog hotel,
apparently the found the entrance in the Dog Hotel basement in a trapdoor hatch. They found the city, took pictures and rescued Stan's parents job. However, since they left at midnight, they were grounded for a month.

Hi

Hello everyone!
