The Alamo’s sacrifices allowed the state of Texas to survived, and so did the civilian of fight 93, their heroic acts save the Capital from a terrorist attack as

    In Lincoln’s opening lines of his speech, he establishes that he knows that neither attitude has changed. The North is still pressing for expulsion of slavery and the South is still pushing for expansion of slavery. However, he establishes that slavery is not the point of his address. He uses words such as “extended,” “pursued,” “progress” and “reasonably satisfactory” to show that his main points are the effects the war will have on future generations. He does not address the issue with a condescending tone: he speaks in a supportive, optimistic way that encourages unity.…

    Throughout her speech Kelley compares and contrast different states child labor laws. Kelley states, “In Alabama the law provides that a child… not work longer than 8 hours”. Here kelley creates a general idea of how long kids have to work. She does this to represent the hardships the children are facing. Then she continues and says, “In Georgia there is no restriction whatever!” Emphasizing the workload the children have Kelley sparks anger within the NAWSA. As she compares the workload of New Jersey to Alabama, “New Jersey took a long backwards step”. New Jersey repealed a law that required children to stop working earlier. This is very clear how they took a step backward because with this law repealed children must work more which is not…

Kennedy’s in particular, was one of the most touching and inspiring inaugural addresses in our country’s history and it continues to be analyzed in classrooms, articles, and on television today. His words gained the people’s confidence that he had a positive future in store for America, and his moving statements kept the attention on him captivated.

    “The speech was about the Tuskegee Airmen and how their past, present, and future has affected us today. I focused on a lot of history” said Landin. “I’ve talked a few times to people, but I’ve never talked so many people before—it was huge audience. I felt very important, I want to be a leader when I want to me older and this has never really happened. I was really nervous when I got up there, but then a wave of confidence hit me and it was very memorable--it changed who I am. I wanted to teach them something, and I wanted to express my voice. I don’t care if they judge how I said it, because I’m sure I taught one person something. The Tuskegee Airman gave me two dollars for winning the contest—a two dollar lucky bill. Having the speaker made everything seem more real, because reading about it actually different from listening to someone. The speaker spoke about his time, and talked about it wasn’t a proud thing shooting down a Japanese airplane—it was a new perspective. He was passionate, and the majority respected it.”…

    What constitutes a great and memorable speech? Following the recent results of the October 19th federal election in Canada, two major speeches were delivered – Justin Trudeau’s victory speech and Steven Harper’s defeat speech. Just as with President Barack Obama’s 2008 victory speech ("Top 10 Presidential Addresses of All Time"), people with political preference may rank one of the two speeches more highly solely due to the identity of the speaker. Thankfully however, Lifehack provides some invaluable insights on the basic factors of a memorable public address. According to the website, imagery increases the effectiveness of a strong public speech, as does connection with the audience and persuasive, powerful statements. Taking those factors into account will help in evaluating both Trudeau’s and Harper’s speeches with a minimal amount of political bias.…

    The main idea of William J. Clinton’s speech “Remarks to the Convocation of the Church of God in Christ” is that the United States is becoming more violent every day, many innocent children are dying every day, and that he wants the American people to start doing something about it. In his speech Clinton spoke at the church where Martin Luther King Jr. last delivered a sermon about freedom. Clinton used the opportunity to address issues of crime, violence, and family as he launches his plans to make America safer for future generations. He addressed many stories where young kids were being killed and being violent towards others.…

    After reviewing the four speeches I chose to address The Gettysburg Address. To me this is one of the most important speeches in history addressing the past, present and future. Abraham Lincoln started his speech by reminding his audience that 87 years ago our country was founded based on Liberty and equality. Then added that our nation was being tested therefore the Civil War took place they fought and won. Lincoln acknowledged those who have fallen for our country and also reminded his audience that Civil War was not just a fight but also a way to save the union; which would bring freedom and equality for them at that time as well as the future.…
