The rhetorical devices he conveys to create a persuasive speech includes : metaphor, figurative language, and analogy to create a stylistic device to illustrate his audience that he warn people of their condemnation . Edwards point of view throughout this speech was to create this imagery full of misery what God can do.

    Hoover Persuasive Speech

    For eight single professional women gathered in Dallas, it is holy Wednesday — the night each week that they gather in one of their homes for the Traveling Bachelorette Party. Munching snacks and passing a bottle of wine, they cheer, cry and cackle as their spiritual leader, Trista Rehn, braves heartache, indecision and the occasional recitation of bad poetry to choose from among her 25 swains. Yet something is unsettling Leah Hudson's stomach, and it's not just the wine. "I hate that we've been sucked into the Hoover vac of reality TV," says Hudson, 30. "Do we not have anything better to do than to live vicariously through a bunch of 15-minute-fame…

    Jimboomba Persuasive Speech

    Lately there have been a lot of break-ins and armed robberies in Jimboomba by ‘teenagers’. They’ve been demanding money from store clerks, some with knifes, baseball bats, and anything in between. To be honest I do not find the joy in doing such a thing, I believe that if you work hard enough to earn a living you will feel as if you have done well in this life and honestly I wouldn’t feel good knowing I have someone else’s hard earned money all to myself. I know that some of the crimes committed aren’t so bad, but the teens should be punished to learn from their mistakes, I believe that by doing so it will cause the community to feel safer and engage the government to make Jimboomba a better place to live.…

    Timothy Mcveeigh's Persuasive Speech

    McVeigh dropped out of college and joined the army when he was 18 years old. He felt that the government had no reason to kill several people at Waco or Ruby Ridge. This is when he decided to take care of the situation himself, and decided to blow up a building and murder countless people. He believed that people learn traits from the government and he felt that the government were not higher up that the people of the United States. It's an "equal" country, so shouldn't everyone be "equal?" I agree with his rational for this, but his actions definitely spoke louder than his words.…

    I am on the side of Benjamin Franklin because we have to take matters into our own hands to break free from Great Britain. We have tried multiple times trying to break free from Britain and we can’t just think that King george will stop his ways. Just as Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or Death” we will should fight to get our freedom even if matters go to violence. If people join the Loyalists then they are breaking the dream of our great country the United States of America. This is also breaking the dream of our great president George Washington.…

    Persuasion in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”

    In the Sermon “Sinners in the hand of an Angry God” given by Jonathan Edwards, the persuasion techniques logos, ethos, and pathos are displayed. To start off, the persuasion technique logos is used in Edward’s sermon when he talks about being burned in hell. In the sermon Edwards says, “So that, thus it is that natural men are held in the hand of God, over the pit of hell…” Logos uses logic to persuade people. Edwards tries to show people that pain is inevitable if they’re a sinner, and it’s simple logic that people don’t want to be lifted over hell. This scares people from sinning. Moreover, ethos is displayed in the sermon with Edward’s authority figure. Ethos uses authority to persuade people. Edwards is a pastor, so with his position people are more liking to follow his beliefs. Other people may not be taken as serious as Edwards. This helps Edwards in his goal. Furthermore, pathos is expressed in the sermon when Edwards talks with intensity and lets out his emotions. For example, Edwards says in the sermon, “It is everlasting wrath.” The italicized everlasting shows how much emphasis he uses on this word. He really tried to pour out his emotions into this sermon. Emotions are what pathos uses to persuade. This technique can be very effective for Edward’s because it can get emotions to influence his audience. To conclude, persuasive techniques can convince people of beliefs as shown in “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”; these techniques are still used today in advertisements, propaganda, speeches, and etc. to convince people of beliefs.…

    Ebrima Maneh Persuasive Speech

    Freedom of expression is an overwhelmingly powerful phrase that carries so much meaning. When someone loses their freedom of expression, they also lose their identity. Ebrima Manneh, a Gambian journalist, was arrested in July of 2006 for reasons unbeknownst to the public. People have theories of the reasons he could have been arrested. These theories include: he was having an argument with the managing editor of the Daily Observer, a friend of the president’s, or possibly he was about to give away information that could have been harmful to the government, or perhaps he tried to print a government report in the Daily Observer (Ebrima Manneh). None of these reasons warrant Ebrima Manneh’s arrest and captivity for ten years. The secrecy surrounding…
