    Ann Richards presented her Keynote Address to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 1988. Descriptive analysis aims to understand the purpose of a work, and the methods used to achieve that purpose. There are six elements, not including purpose, that can be strategically used to achieve a goal: persona, audience, tone, structure, supporting materials, and other strategies (Campbell and Burkholder 21). This rhetorical analysis examines how Ann Richards uses persona during her Keynote Address to the 1988 Democratic National Convention to convince listeners that the current government is dividing the country and that equality for all is important.…

    Klaus Kleinfeld, an impressive speaker, sophisticated, well spoken, open, self-sacrificing, warm, and engaging. Through storytelling, he identifies, promotes, and reinforces his shared values; freedom and respect. Personal values come from the heart and with conviction, he inspires to pursue your vision, purpose and behave ethically with respect to people; this is how he believes people should behave. Endeavoring to transcend his values, I believe, he hopes the workers of the organization will support his vision and character. As we know, leaders can encourage or discourage followers to behave a certain way. Speaking only briefly about his early days in Germany, when freedom was far from his reach, Kleinfeld says, freedom is a state of mind and if you give that up – you give up a great deal.…
