The IT Crowd

extremely loyal and honest to Caesar. Both of these men gave a speech at Caesar’s funeral to persuade the crowd. However, Brutus and Antony use different techniques to convince the people to their cause. Antony relies on emotion to successfully persuade the people while Brutus put into action his credibility. Brutus puts forth his credibility while delivering his speech. When he asks the crowd to believe him for his honor (III, ii, 14-15), he convinces the people to side with him due to the…

Brutus’ short speech has a limiting effect on the crowd versus when Mark Antony voices his long oration, using props such as Caesar’s body and will, it ultimately stirs the crowd into a mutinous rage. Antony having the last word is a helpful advantage also. Antony using Caesar’s corpse as a prop is described by scholar Agnes Teller, “But Antony prepared the great spectacle: the presentation of the corpse. The body is first presented in his mantle to show the places of the stab wounds… The…

Following the crowd is not always right as explained in “The Lottery”, and “First They Came”, and that you will be punished whether it will be from guilt or punishment. “The Lottery” is about not following the crowd and that you will regret it if you do. “First They Came” is again about standing up for what right, but in this story it may not be the easiest thing. They are very different. Since, the lottery is about following the crowd. For example, in the story, Mrs. Hutchinson was pick from…

They both had a vigorous crowd and convince them to their side. Even though Brutus had to face the crowd first who wanted his head. He was able to calm them down and convince them Caesar was a tyrant. But, Anthony had to worry about the conspirators killing him if he talks bad about them, defend a Caesar’s corpse, and convince the crowd to go against conspirators. This was a lot of things Mark had to defend against. In addition to…

speech was driven by emotions and to make the crowd feel something and sympathize with him. Brutus' intention was to persuade the audience that the killing of Caesar was a necessary thing while Antony was trying to cause riot among the people and show them how unfortunate Caesar's death was. Both of the men wanted to control the crowd's opinions and persuade them to believe as they were saying. Brutus spoke first and his main goal was to get the crowd to understand that what he did was…

The symbol of crowds is one that I have noticed is very powerful and re-appears in the reading today. When the family arrives at Kung Fu Palace, crowds begin to form around people who are believed to have special information regarding the Airborne Toxic Event. The crowds that gathered at Kung Fu Palace made it more than a Chinese restaurant, it transformed it into a social area where people…

After comparing Brutus and Antony's techniques of persuading the crowd using ethos, pathos, and logos, it is obvious that Brutus is the more persuasive speaker. Both Brutus and Antony used ethos trying to persuade the crowd who the best persuasive speaker is at the funeral speech. One example from Brutus is, "Believe me for mine honor and have respect to mine honor that you may believe." He is trying to make them to respect him and believe him so that he will be proven to be the best persuasive…

the Fourth of July?, he uses many different types of rhetorical strategies to get his points across to the crowd. Douglass, being an intelligent man, knew that using certain forms of rhetorical strategies would really help him encourage the crowd to think in the same manner as him. Douglass uses the many different forms of rhetorical strategies to successfully convey his point to the crowd, and by doing so it helped him make his point known from the beginning of the speech. One form of…

arrogant and condescending tones toward the ignobility of the crowd, revealing the superiority with which he regards himself. The irony lies in the difference between how the author and the crowd regard the sympathetic action: whereas the crowd mourns sincerely for the dead, the author scoffs at the lowly burial as he observes, disconnected from the rest of the group. He emphasizes this disconnection, asserting that he stands not in the crowd but rather as a mere spectator in the distance.…

overall wins the crowd through his use of ethics and empathy. Antony’s speech left such a lasting impact due his skillful use of Pathos. Pathos is an appeal to one’s empathy. Pathos is the most persuasive rhetorical device due to the effect it has on a crowd. Antony carefully uses words that will create a strong emotional connection with the audience. He appeals to the audience through emotion and Brutus can’t establish that same relationship because he speaks logically to the crowd, which…
