    Melian Dialogue DBQ Rough Draft Claim Statement: The Melian Dialogue teaches the reader that, in 416 BCE, Athens’ foreign policy and actions were strongly informed by the Athenian belief and focus on realism, preserving the law of nature, and the natural order of events. In 416 BCE, Athens’ belief, policy, and ideal of realism is evident through their preference for knowledge-based spiritual faith and rejection of the metaphysical. The Melian Dialogue, recorded by Thucydides in 416 BCE, recounts the discussion between representatives from the empire of Athens and the small island of Melos concerning the addition of Melos into the alliance of the Delian League. The Athenian speakers take a strong, confident, unwavering stance on the issue,…

    Pope Urban II Council of Clermont 1095-9 Pope Urban II was in France, his native land, when he called the first crusade in the closing of the Council of Clermont 1095 on the 27th of November . It is a rare occasion when the pope leaves Italy, so this was a momentous time in itself already. Pope Urban II sanctioned the crusade because he had received a letter from Alexios I Komnenos whom is the Byzantine emperor from the Eastern Christendom pleading for help because the Turks were advancing fast into their heartland after already taking over several outlying cities . With no hesitation Urban began to desperately preach to all willing crusaders in December 1095 and with the help of other preachers a like he convinced many to rise and fight for their churches and holy cities.…

    “Unspeakable Conversations” by Harriet McBryde Johnson and “An Animal's Place” by Michael Pollan are both amazing stories about life and death. With the question, to what extent is it possible to define what makes a “good life” for humans and other animals, it’s difficult to find the right answer if there is one. There is no doubt that animals don’t have rights in the traditional sense, or in any other sense. Should we live with the same concept for humans born with mental illnesses? Singer’s arguments are strong but though some illnesses may lead to a person being stuck in a vegetable state of mind, we must understand that anything is possible in this day and time.…

    I believe the 2014 Cicero Speech Writing Award winning speech “Write Your Own Story” written by Aaron Hoover (spoken by Bernie Machen) exemplifies eloquence. This speech is an example of an eloquently written speech as well as and an eloquently delivered speech. Not only was this speech well researched, well written, and well spoken, it was also an appropriate reaction to the rhetorical situation by addressing the audience, situation, exigence, and constraints. By addressing the rhetorical situation the writer establishes credibility and likability for the speaker. This essay will discuss what made this speech eloquent by exploring the background and overview of the speech including information about the speaker, the setting, and the rhetorical…

    One of the most important parts of the civil rights movement was to be able to give a compelling speech that encourages the people to act and fight for what is right. One of the key speeches of the civil rights movement was John Lewis’s speech during the march in Washington on August 28th 1968 because of his way of persuading the audience. Although he was asked to make adjustments to his already powerful speech at the March on Washington, John Lewis uses rhetorical appeals to make his argument strong and persuasive. He uses emotion to show the horrors of what is occurring, logic to convey the reasons why there needs to be a change, and his credibility to show his involvement in the civil rights movement. First of all, Lewis was able to make his argument compelling by his use of emotion, or pathos.…

    The national curriculum in England for Science (2014) intends that pupils should be able ‘to describe associated processes and key characteristics in common language using technical terminology accurately’ (Scholastic, 2013). Children are required to use discussion to work together to enhance their ideas and address any misconceptions they have. Earle and Serret (2015: 119) have put forward ways in which we as teachers can ‘…encourage children to participate in a science-based dialogue’. We must hook them into the lesson using a stimulus like a giant footprint (Earle and Serret, 2015). We must give children time to think and someone to talk to (Earle and Serret, 2015) using think, pair, share for example.…

    It was obvious that Quince tried to come up with a word that rhymed with hue. He used “Jew” but it did not fit in with the rest of the lines which made it sound silly. This is another proof that the craftsmen are not capable of writing a good play. Looking at Thisbe’s final speech once more, one can see that the first half her speech did not have a rhyme scheme. Thisbe’s speech had an unsteady rhythm.…

    William Golding’s Lord of the Flies writes about the ideas of people’s personalities and the evil within the human heart. Set within an island, a group of young boys set out to survive and be rescued; however, it is later seen how the boys end up being wild and savage when they’re left without adult supervision. Golding depicts Simon as a scapegoat whose exceptional persona on an island of chaos and anarchy makes him a target for the stranded boys’ hatred/evil. Starting early on in the novel, Simon shows a caring, generous personality, which becomes a stigma that he is “unique” in comparison to the other boys. Even though the norm for the biguns on the beach was to ignore or not help the littluns; Simon was different in that, “Simon found…

    Simon as a Christ Figure Anna, a Disney character, sacrificed herself for her kingdom and sister. She is archetypally used as a Christ- like figure in the Disney movie, Frozen. Authors often connect characters or actions to broader ideas, such as Christ- like figures. In many works of literature, archetypal characters, situations, and symbols are used to understand the motives behind a character 's actions or personality. William Golding portrays Simon as a Christ figure archetype in Lord of the Flies because he is selfless, encounters the devil in the wilderness, and comes to redeem an unworthy world, but is killed by those he wishes to save.…

    Brutus Speech Analysis

    After Caesar’s death, in the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, the conspirators and Mark Antony speak to the public to explain what has happened to Caesar. Brutus, one of the main conspirators and Caesar’s best friend, talks first and gives the Romans the reason as to why Caesar had to be killed. Brutus’ speech is very convincing and he manipulates the crowd into believing him easily. After Brutus speaks, Mark Antony, Caesar’s good friend and second in command, gives a speech about Caesar and how he did not deserve to die, easily turning the crowd against Brutus and the other conspirators. Both speeches use persuasive techniques, like ethos, and rhetorical devices, like repetition and rhetorical questions, to manipulate their audiences…
