Leslie Marmon Silko states her view on the significance of oral tradition in the Pueblo community. Silko begins her written speech by saying, “The words most highly valued are those spoken from the heart, unpremeditated and unrehearsed,” (467). Storytelling lies at the heart of Pueblo culture, for it brings their heritage together no matter the time or distance (Silko 470, 479). Pueblo oral tradition differentiates from English writing; oral tradition challenges academic writing. Silko’s written speech uses a number of Pueblo influences: written and oral expression, narrative form, identity, and language; in order for her audience to experience English in an abstract organization that holds the practices of oral traditions.…

From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the Miami Heat community and especially #HEATNATION for all of their love and support over the years.…
The enduring value of any speech lies in its ability to stir emotions, assure with conviction and cut to the heart of complex and controversial issues. It is the balanced sequence of structure and emotive application appropriate to its climax that directs the audience along the trajectory of ideas created by the speaker. Keating’s Redfern Speech and Anwar Sadat’s speech to the Israeli Knesset both achieve value above and beyond the time and place in which they were first delivered. The climax and textual integrity of the speech stresses the common conflict within their contexts to create a sense of urgency towards a possible future that seizes passivity and harmony. They identify the boundaries that act as the fundamental tensions to achieving…

On June 12, 1987, former President Ronald Reagan gave one of his famous speeches, “Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate.” On a superficial level, Reagan uses the speech to petition to the Soviet Union for peace, nuclear and chemical arms reduction, and the demolition of the Berlin Wall. He also highlights the progress and prosperity that have arisen in the western world since the division between communism and democracy was established. Beyond the surface, Reagan subtly disparages communism while simultaneously building up democracy. He emphasizes the importance of freedom, liberty, free trade, and other democratic ideals and uses the speech to inspire hope and restore faith that the western world will prevail through adversity.…
Bush’s speech comforted the devastated nation by telling us acts of heroism and by telling us that we were going to get the men who did it. He wanted to comfort the nation because we were all affected by the tragedy of September 11th. He knew that we were confused about who did this and why anyone would ever do this. He comforted us by saying that the world was with us, supporting us and that we would never forget our nation’s national anthem playing at places such as Buckingham Palace, the streets of Paris and Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate.

Coach Valvano, was fighting bone cancer at the time, and one may say that he gave one of the best speeches on perseverance and strength. While looking frail compared to his “normal” state, Valvano was able to bring the room to tears and demonstrate his enduring strength through his words. The first thing that builds the power of Valvano’s words was his stage presence. Although he had to be helped up on stage by his friends, Valvano was able to stand tall and smile despite his condition.…
