Nowadays, there is no difference between politicians. American politicians deliver the same message to the people—elaborating on the pitfalls of the United States to acknowledge their ideas and importance to the nation. They ramble on and on about how they will improve and rejuvenate America, but fail to provide concrete solutions. Apart of the group of politicians, Donald Trump, for example, discusses specifically in his speech, at the Iowa Freedom Summit, how he will “succeed in: creating jobs; defeating ISIS; reducing the budget deficit; stopping nuclear weapons…” though fails to state specific solutions. In other words, he is simply restating the problems the nation faces. In response to this trend politicians pursue, Bill Flanagan writes …show more content…
In the introduction of the piece, Flanagan describes Trump with his most well-known features, “a stocky boy beneath a dome of golden hair.” Who else named Donald wears blond hair? By describing Trump, it clarifies any misconception of which Donald Flanagan is talking about, since he never uses Donald’s last name in the piece. Other than the introduction, there is not much imagery through the piece; however, when Donald talks to the teacher, he dives” deep” into his responses. More clearly, he has more to say than the teacher does and for that, he talks about his life, from his I.Q to his relationship with the principal, “We see eye to eye on many, many subjects.” He rambles on because instead of answering a question he does not have the answer to, he jabbers in high hope that he answers what the audience asked. By making it long, the people may get tired, Mrs. Abernathy may give up, and the only thing that passes is time. Ironically, Flanagan makes the classroom look more like a political press or speech. Therefore, he successfully maintains his …show more content…
Abernathy and Donald colloquially conversed with each other. Through all the words and the vocabulary, Donald displayed the most academic set. He says words such as “accredited” and “hypothetical.” His more sophisticated words lose his audience as they ponder about those words. Mrs. Abernathy may be smart enough to know what those words mean, but do all his classmates? What about a politician talking to the common person? Not saying that the average person is under educated, but rather not educated as a politician. Big words loose people. They can also make them appear smart. Flanagan’s addition of strong vocabulary through an eleven-year-old sarcastically depicts a politician with his/her many words. Moreover, Donald passively talks with his teacher, because it is easier to talk that way, creating a balance with the vocabulary. A politician cannot sound philosophical. They occasionally have meaningful ideas that the people need to understand. When they start speaking “French,” they begin cloaking their lies or uninformed
By the end, Harold went from writing a few words to writing a few sentences, and speaking out loud in
While re-watching some of Donald Trump’s speeches that he gives during his “Presidential campaign”, I noticed just how much he uses Aristotle’s three appeals. This method are both hurting and helping him at the same time. He uses pathos or the emotional appeal quite frequently. Donald has a specific target audience that he appeals to when he says that he is speaking to America. I feel as if his demographic is older white people who feel as if their country is no longer what it used to be.
Donald made friends during his school years but then like the usual, he got suspended, expelled, or kicked out of school. This happened all throughout his academic school years. Due to this constant trouble, he later then went to a permanent reform school. Just like all of his childhood, he was abused verbally, physically, and sexually because of his small size. Other piers found it significantly easy to bully Donald.
Bush’s relationship with the American citizens is comforting and soothing. Bush’s 9/11 Address was meant to influence everybody including the terrorist. They assume that America is going to stick together and get through this and they’re holding president Bush accountable because he promised this. After the message, the American people assume that the terrorist will be taken down.
The 45th Presidential Election Throughout the past few months, the 45th presidential election has been in full swing as the news, social media, and various people of all ages and beliefs are speaking out about who they believe the next president, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, should be. Governor Mike Pence of Indiana, who is 57 years old and grew up on a cornfield in Southern Indiana, has recently accepted to be Donald Trump’s running mate. While speaking to the country at the Republican National Convention, Pence provides comparisons and statistics about Trump and himself, in order to persuade his audience to vote for the Republican candidate. In his Vice President Acceptance Address, Governor Mike Pence uses metaphors and ethos to verify
Introduction Hook: I never knew that one day, one idea could have such a big impact. That one thing could change the history, set up the rest of the country to follow suit with this specific topic, and things that need a change in general. Background: Over 50 years ago, on March 7, 1965, now known as bloody Sunday, segregation was still prevalent. At the time it was not allowed for blacks to vote at the time.
In Obama’s “ A More Perfect Union” speech he uses rhetorical strategies. Obama is acknowledging the current state of America, the good and the bad and how we could all help to make it better. He uses repetition, allusion, and many more to convince the American people that if they want a better America for everyone to vote for
After the 9/11 attacks, America was devastated and distraught. America was in need of a leader. We needed someone to take us in and protect us, to make us feel safe again. George W. Bush (our president at this time) acted as our protector. He comforted America with his sympathetic words, but also managed to bring forth fear to the terrorist.
The reason for this is that intelligent individuals are generally thought of as having a higher probability for success. Wolff shows that Pete is intelligent by how Pete made the decision to pick Donald up and drive him to his house on the assumption that Donald would try and save the bus money by hitchhiking. Despite the many examples of Pete’s intelligence, Wolff also focuses on how Donald is ignorant. Donald tells Pete the stories of how he always messed up the simple task of buying groceries by not purchasing everything or by buying the wrong type of food. Furthermore, Donald told Pete that one time he gave away all the food, not thinking of what the consequences of his actions will be once he returns to the farm.
In his inaugural speech given on January 20, 2001, George W. Bush address the country for the first time after being sworn in as the 43rd president of the United States. Millions of people from around the world tuned in to watch the president give his address. The people who voted for and against him are both wanting to hear what the president has to say. George W. Bush gives an effective inaugural address by using biblical allusions, collaborative language, and an anaphora in order to unite the country after a contentious election. Bush used biblical allusions to appeal mostly to the evangelicals who were listening to his speech.
His speaking skills, eye contact, and posture make the audience confident in his ability to improve their lives, making up for the lack of logic, and adding to his ethical and emotional appeal. The audience was so entranced with his speaking abilities and caught up in his message, they missed how the information seemed to jump around. The transitions between main points were seamless, so when only listening the first time it is not noticeable. It is the topics that are not put in a logical order and overall make him seem like he is not a credible
After the “September 11 attacks”, President George Bush took a speech on the September 20th. As for the background, on the September 11th, the terrorists attacked in New York in the United States, the twin towers are destroyed, which are the symbol of American dream and prosperity buildings. This picture is terrible, incredible and unbelievable. Nearly three thousand people died. Everyone got into a sadness, fear, disappointment, and panic environment.
4. Donald Trump 's specific language Donald Trump has mastered the power of language to influence audience like no other politician. All his speeches are emotionally-charged. He uses specific and strong words put in rather short sentences.
The reason I think this character also shows this habit is because in the movie Jack tells Ted that the accident that happened that day at the Power Plant was not a mistake but human error. At first Ted didn’t think much of it he just though that Jack needed time off of work. Until Jack sadly got killed he then realized that he should have listened to his friend, that what he was saying wasn’t just crazy talk but him trying to save hundreds of lives. Then finally he had the chance to say something when a reporter asked him if Jack was crazy or what he was claming was indeed right, then without hesitation Ted spoke up and told the reporter that Jack wasn’t crazy that he was trying to help save lives. This example shows the habit of seeking first to understand, then to be understood because Ted had to understand that what Jack was saying was the truth and that he was trying to help save lives.
A meticulous analysis of President Donald Trump through the theoretical paradigms would enable one to adopt some of best strategies followed by the model leader Donald Trump, or else it might throw light on the need to be thinking on one’s
