7. Literary Analysis: Speeches Speeches have helped to shape the American identity by expressing our goals as a people. Speeches are written works that are delivered orally. An effective speaker uses a variety of techniques to emphasize key points: – Restatement: repeating an idea in a variety of ways. – Repetition: restating an idea using the same words – Parallelism: repeating grammatical structures – Rhetorical Question: asking a question whose answer is self-evident

8. Diction Speeches from the same time period, even those addressing related topics, may sound very different. One reason for this is that a speaker’s diction – the choice and arrangement of words – creates a personal stamp. Diction may be casual, formal, simple, or sophisticated, and is often altered to address the aims of the speech.

9. Persuasion Persuasion is writing meant to convince readers to think or act in a certain way. A persuasive writer appeals to emotions or reason, offers opinions, and urges action. The writer must also back up his or her points with evidence. – For example, to support his argument for independence, Thomas Jefferson presents a list of offenses committed by the British King To stir an audience speakers may attempt to appeal to an audience using a variety of techniques.

10. Logos (Appeal to Logic) The Greek word “logos” is the basis for the English word “logic.” Logos refers to any attempt to appeal to the intellect, the general meaning of “logical argument.” Everyday arguments rely heavily on ethos and pathos, but academic arguments rely more on logos. Arguments that use logos often cite data, statistics, figures, and facts.

11. Pathos (Appeal to Emotion) Pathos is related to words “pathetic,” “sympathy,” and “empathy.” Whenever you accept a claim based on how it makes you feel without fully analyzing the rationale behind the claim, you are acting on pathos. A majority of arguments in the popular press are heavily dependent on pathetic appeals. Appeals to pathos touch a nerve and compel people to not only listen, but to also take the next step and act in the world.

12. Ethos (Ethical Appeal) Ethos is related to the English word “ethics” and refers to the trustworthiness of the speaker/writer. Ethos is an effective, persuasive strategy because when we believe that the speaker does not intend to do us harm, we are more willing to listen to what he/she has to say. – For example, when a trusted doctor gives you advice, you may not understand all of the medical reasoning behind the advice, but you nonetheless follow the directions because you believe that the doctor knows what he/she is talking about.
