Hillary Clinton Rhetorical Analysis

Another way Clinton uses pathos is when he tries to comfort the people who have lost loved ones by saying, “You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything.” Clinton lets the audience know that they have people that will help them through this hard time and they have the nation behind them: “You have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes.” Clinton ultimately reaches his goal of comforting his audience by using ethos and pathos strategies throughout his speech.

Bernie is now posting his best poll numbers of the campaign to date. He's only 4 points behind in Iowa and gaining, solidly ahead in New Hampshire, and has national momentum, too. What Sanders needed to do Sunday night was maintain that momentum, continue his appeal to liberal base voters, and blunt any attacks that Clinton might be tempted to unleash at him. He accomplished all of that, even if he didn't give a focused, dominant performance. His release of his single-payer financing details denied Clinton a major attack line, he avoided getting bogged down in guns (clearly his worst issue from the Democratic base's perspective), and he struck an tone that made him seem relatively above the fray as Clinton tried out various critiques targeting

The use of pathos in a speech gives the audience assurance that the speaker understands the depth of the issues in topic, as well as sustains the argument by giving a visual that makes the logical claims stronger and more memorable. Clinton outlines the severity of issues for women around the world, quoting, “women comprise more than half the world’s population, 70% of the world’s poor, and two-thirds of those who are not taught

There are numerous ways to structure a passage. Many authors structure their passage to organize and convey a meaning. In “How to Be Presidential”, the main essential structure that Edward G. Lengel utilizes to determine that George Washington deserved to become America’s first president is chronological order.

“Pluralism is the granting of equal support, acceptance, or influence in decision-making to more than one religious group” (Segal and Oxtoby). Secretary Kerry is, in my opinion, a religious pluralist. I believe this because throughout his speech, he spoke about his efforts to understand all types of religions, united religions by talking about their common fundamentals, and called others to build relationships with people of all types of religions in an effort to create a community of peace and acceptance.

Although she uses all three rhetorical modes of persuasion in her statement, Pathos stands out the most.

Radiolab presented a very compelling story of a lady by the name of Diane became witness to the lives of a young couple in their somewhat private domain. Diane shared her story of her intimate, but very one-sided interaction with her new neighbors across the way, whom never shut their curtains, with one Radiolab’s producers, Briana Breen. During their conversation, Diane breaks down as to what drove her to do the things that she had done and how she felt in the time of this interaction. Like many other listeners to this podcast, as well as the storyteller Diane, I will explain as to why her actions are justifiable.

First Lady Michelle Obama has always been one known for her inspiring speeches and her commitment to women’s rights. In Manchester, New Hampshire, she is seen once again standing up for women and for this country by opening the public’s eyes to disrespect Donald Trump has shown for us. Throughout the entire speech the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, ethos, and logos, are all used effectively and powerfully to get her message across. She mainly targets the audience of empowered women but she also addresses the effect that voting for Donald Trump will have for men and women. Through the rhetorical appeals and the tone, she sets for her audience, Michelle Obama campaigns for the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Mrs. Nelson is writing about the recent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, where many white supremacists are protesting with former KKK member to get their ¨country back.¨ Nelson is writing to the American people who are staying silent. Nelson is telling them to stand up and speak out against open racism. Nelson talks about how her ancestors, slaves, were never treated right. Nelson talks about how many things still did not change. Nelsons tone throughout the article was angry. Nelson seemed very upset about the situation. Nelson herself is African American which makes her a credible person to write this article. The author argues U.S citizens need to stand up against racism, and she supports her argument with her angry tone, implicit claims about privilege, and appeals to pathos.

Presidential nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a recent speech at a private fundraising event geared toward LGBT rights supporters, addressed her political opponent, Donald J. Trump and his supporters. The fundraiser was hosted by singer and actress, Barbra Streisand and her wealthy counterparts. The former Secretary of State argued that half of Donald Trump’s supporters can be put into a “basket of deplorable” and alluded that the other half are simply anti-government. Clinton supported her assertion by using logical fallacies by making hasty generalizations, faulty cause and effect, and bandwagon appeals. She also solidified her reasoning by stating, the supporters in the “basket of deplorable” are racists, sexists, xenophobic, and many

To keep the American tradition, President Obama signed an executive order requiring the loser of the Presidential election to leave the country. Obama stated "No Matter who that loser is".

Clinton started her Acceptance Speech by acknowledging everyone that got her to where she's at. When Clinton said, "And the man of hope, Barack Obama. America is stronger because of President Obama's leadership, and I'm better because of his friendship." it not only shows she knew him, but it also show's that she was friends and learned from him. If she just stated that she knew Obama it wouldn't be as credible. Another example that shows her credibility is when she said, "And for those of you out there who are just getting to know Tim Kaine...he'll make the whole country proud as our Vice President."She's is showing her credibility through someone people already see credible. All of this proves that she is great at establishing ethos; however, it is not the same for pathos. Clinton does have pathos in her speech, but it is not as effective compared to Hitler or Trump. This is because of her voice. Her voice is more subtle and she tries not to yell as much. This makes it harder to rally the audience up and get to their emotions. People still do feel the emotion in her speech, but it is faint compared to other

Michelle Obama’s 2016 Democratic National Convention Speech was beautifully presented; as she spoke about the issues that faces Mrs. Clinton as well as herself, education, health and welfare of this nation as a whole and why Hillary Clinton should be the next president of the United States of America. As I listen to this speech I realized that Michelle Obama uses rhetorical devices and appeals throughout this entire speech, and frankly since her purpose is to persuade the people of the this country to vote for Hillary I think Michelle Obama took the right approach. I get a strong sense of honesty from the first lady as she talks about why Ms. Clinton is worthy enough to take on the mantle of leadership for our great nation. After listening to my speech multiple times I notice how Michelle Obama also uses amplification, which is the expansion of detail to clarify a point. Then as I continued to listen to the speech I also realized how the first lady also uses anaphora, which is the repetition of one or more words at the head of consecutive phrases, clauses, or sentences. Next I saw how the first lady utilizes both ethos and pathos to help convince the citizens of America that Hillary Clinton deserves their vote. Through the use of these rhetorical devices and appeals, Mrs. Obama’s speech is made very strong and convincing.

Obama uses is pathos. Throughout her speech, she is influencing the audience's emotions with pathos. Right in the beginning she thanked the audience for all their hard work and for coming out to the convention, making the audience feel narcissist. Michelle Obama told the audience, “First of all, thank you for being here today and thank you for the outstanding work that you’ve done in making this is a great American institution” (418). The audience now feels as if they are making a difference and everything that they are doing is improving the nation. Once they feel that way, the people will feel more motivated to go out and accomplish more. Mrs. Obama also used the same strategy towards the end of her speech when she got the audience involved with the movement. Mrs. Obama announced, “I’m going to need you, NAACP. This is not an endeavor that I can do by myself. We cannot change the health of our community alone. I’m going to need each and every single one of you to work together for this campaign for our children’s future” (432). Mrs. Obama is encouraging the crowd to make a difference and support her campaign. Not only did she make the audience feel narcissist, she also made them feel
