Speeches

conclusion on my outline during band that day, which is the period right before English. The week when presentations started, I was gone due to an FFA trip that I was signed up for. I was gone for two days, but it was two days that people presented their speeches. My first idea was a book, but I found out that five other people were…

The Gettysburg Address is considered by scholars and historians to be one of the most famous and meaningful speeches ever given by a president of the United States. Different from the average politician Lincoln’s speech was short, he said what he wanted to say without complicating it; making it easy for the audience to understand and to get his point across. Lincoln limited his subject, and removed confusion, in order to inspire the principles of human equality in his audience with the intent to…

Reflection on SCOTUS Speeches As I listened, I noticed the importance of clear representation of both plaintiff and defendant views and arguments to the audience’s understanding of the case. Failing to provide accurate distinctions between arguments, beliefs, and perspectives can leave the audience confused on the nature of a case. I also recognized how essential it is to reference the situational variables as well. If important details, as such, were to be left out of a speech, the case has the…

know what to say about next. When I finished my speech I felt relieved that my speech was over. Also, before the first speech I felt that this class would not be enjoyable considering all of the speeches that we give during the year, but now that the first speech is done I know that giving the other speeches will not be that awful. I now know that I don’t need to worry about giving another speech as much as I did the first…

greatness of his loyalty, Mark Antony displays many other indications of being a hero, an example of such being his favor in the eyes of the Roman people. The people of Rome chose to side with Antony over Brutus, when each character gave their funeral speeches after the death of Caesar. Brutus gave to the people his reasoning for killing Caesar, yet Antony only praised his deceased friend and never once tried to directly disprove the conspirator’s word. As Antony’s speech goes on his listeners…

Although 100 years apart, both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy helped to heal a divided nation through moving and inspiring speeches that vigorously employed literary devices. Lincoln grew up in the country, with nothing more than a second-grade education to carry him through, having to make his own way in life; Kennedy grew up as the son of a rich stockbroker and politician private schools before attending Harvard and traveling the world, and yet, they both became two of the best presidents…

Stanton had a declaration called “Declaration of sentiments”. Frederick Douglass and Elizabeth Cady Stanton had the same basic purpose for giving their respective speeches, however, they accomplished their end goal in very different ways, including the rhetorical devices they used, the type of speech they had, and the topic of their speeches. Frederick Douglass used a lot of rhetorical questions in his “What…

Some of the famous philosophic writings include On the Laws, On the Republic, and On the Nature of the Gods. Cicero made the many speeches as a lawyer and as a Senator. About 60 of his speeches remain. The speeches provide insight into the cultural, political, social, and intellectual life of Romans. Many of his speeches also include descriptions of the corruption and immortality of the Roman elite class, the senatorial class. The category which includes the document Letter…
