Speech #1 Edward R. Murrow, a CBS reporter and war correspondent delivered a report from Buchenwald, Germany on April 16, 1945. He delivered this dialect upon seeing the atrocities committed by the Germans towards the Jews. He addresses the American people, describing the scene he had witnessed at this labor camp, which he found the scene to be so unbelievable that he is rendered speechless many times through out his speech. Murrow’s outrage is so apparent through-out his account, that it is even felt by the audience, making it an emotive speech. His objective is to induce his audience with anger and horror for what had been done. Murrow uses short punchy sentences as well as vivid details to evoke emotions within his audience.

They will carry them till they die.” He also uses short, and to the point sentences to communicate a sense a urgency and immediacy. An example is when he describes the courtyard of Buchenwald. “…We proceeded to the small courtyard. The wall was about eight feet high…. We entered. It was floored with concrete.” These type of sentences are found through-out his entire account, intensifying the emotions of his audience.…

Government owned mines and farms would bring in the precious metals, livestock, and crops needed to feed and fund a needy society. Farm workers in my utopia are given housing, precious…

Ancient and Modern."). Ancient Egypt, Alexandria, had become a cultural hub for commerce, tradesmen, and all manner of people and ideas (Principe 9).

Even though Midas was a very wealthy king he still wasn’t satisfied with the riches he had, so he asked to have a golden touch, turning everything into gold, literally food and everything he touched, which he soon realized he couldn’t even eat anything without it turning to gold.
