Biography The life of Patrick Henry http://encarta.msn.com/media_461526458_761553475_-1_1/Patrick_Henry.html

Charged Words Charged words are words with strong connotations beyond their literal meaning that are likely to produce an emotional response. Tyranny (evokes a feeling of fear, suggests living in a state of terror) Liberty (suggests an ideal life characterized by freedom) Justice (can be associated with freedom and equality) Honor (evokes a sense of morality and dignity)

Oratory A form of public speaking A qualified speaker Contents of speech for emphasis include: Rhetorical questions Restatement Repetition Parallelism Exclamation

Rhetorical question Rhetorical question/questions are the questions the speaker asks the audience. However, the audience internalizes the answer. Nothing is answered orally.

Restatement Restatement is stating the same idea in different words

Repetition Repetition is repeating the exact same words over again.

Parallelism Parallelism refers to the repeated use of phrases, clauses, or sentences that are similar in structure or meaning. Writers use this technique to emphasize important ideas, create rhythm, and make their writing more forceful and direct.

Exclamation Also used in some speeches is the use of the exclamation (or highly emotional or provocative statements)

Understanding Parallelism Faulty Parallelism “For my own part, what ever anguish of spirit it my cost, I am willing to know the whole truth: to know the worst and I will provide for it.” Effective Parallelism “For my own part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

Identifying Parallel Structure Directions: Circle the parallel elements in each of the following sentences. Are we disposed to be of the number of those who having eyes see not, and having ears hear not? Ask yourself how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded.

Identifying Parallel Structure (continued) Directions: Circle the parallel elements in each of the following sentences. If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges. . .,if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged…,we must fight!
