How Did King David Become The King
Although there are many important points made in this film, I believe the following three points are the most important. The first point that I believe is a defining moment in this film is when David, the older brother of King George Vl, upon the death of King George V, their father, assumed the throne. But David was involved with his mistress, Ms. Wallace Simpson, who was from the United States. The night that King George V passed away, David hugged his mother and ran out of the room crying. David was not crying because he was upset that his father just passed away. He was crying because he was forced to the new king, even though he did not want to be king. David did not want to become the new king of England and have to leave his mistress, Ms. Wallace Simpson. In The King’s Speech David cries, “Poor Wallace. Now I am trapped.” David was in love with Ms. Wallace Simpson, which was against the …show more content…
In order for David to become the king he would have had to end his relationship with Ms. Wallace Simpson and he was not willing to do that; therefore, David signed off the throne to his younger brother, the Duke of York, who is now known as King George Vl. When David signed the throne off to the Duke of York he set the stage for the lineage to come. Elizabeth, who is King George Vl’s daughter, is the current Queen Elizabeth in Europe today.
The second point from The King’s Speech that I found to be very important is that King George Vl was brutally bullied, beginning at an early age, by his father, older brother, and also his nanny. Due to their bullying King George Vl was afraid to voice his own opinions and statements so as a result he stammered terribly while he spoke. An example from the film that stood out

    The Purpose of this Address is to announce to the public that he won't become a king and that he will step down so another can stand up it was also meant to inform future presidents what to not do since they really wasn’t a rule book and expectations of a how a president should act they just took george washington as an example of a true president.

    Henry was using his meaningful speech that arises from his spirit to convey more trust to his followers. This speech was a good example to show how Henry and all other strong feudal rulers in this era used their strength and unique personalities to amaze and persuade but not to force their people to become their followers. The unique and the highly effective speech and the thoughts of Henry v shows how open were individuals in Elizabethan era about expressing themselves to reveal social or political viewpoints.…

    Queen Elizabeth I used rhetorical strategies and upright style choices to convey her message. When Queen Elizabeth gave her speech to the English troops who were in preparation for an attack by the Spanish Armada, she revealed her awareness of the crucial position the soldiers were in and the world as well. In her speech, she is exhorting her troops to face the battle with courage and determination and she does that by taking her place as the speaker to interact with the audience and defining her point. Her point was to support her troops and specify the importance of her safety and commitment for the people of the kingdom. The way she uses herself in context, she stood for the whole nation and it proposes the nobility of the troops who would feel obligated as gentlemen to defend their queen. Also, the queen reinforces her image by stating how she is looked upon as a weak and feeble woman however; she compares herself to a fierce and courageous king. By doing so, she persuades the audience that she is strong, loyal, and glorious. With these references, she gives her persona and she expresses her understanding of the power and prominence that the soldiers have among the world. Furthermore, Elizabeth points out that with their amity, they will be rewarded and that strengthens them because that shows her trust and belief, which projects her persona as well.

    King used many rhetorical devices in his speech at the Lincoln memorial one of which was repetition most notably seen in the most famous part of the speech paragraphs 13-18 where he repeats "I had a dream" by repeating it in a way he empowers the phrase making it more meaningful another rhetorical device he used was allusion the way he used this is less direct, but just as meaningful by saying "But one hundred years later" in the context of Lincolns emancipation proclamation and how black people were still not treated fairly it shows the injustice that even though they were promised freedom 100 years ago they still had not received it, the third rhetorical device that he used was an extended metaphor from paragraphs four and five where he makes…

    He is very descriptive in his writing and uses a sophisticated tone to help King George understand the seriousness of his message. He constantly displays his intelligence through the use of advanced vocabulary, which enhances his tone. He does not simply state, "the King of Great Britain is a tyrant and we want to be independent". He uses phrases like, "The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these States"(Jefferson 238) to show that he is angered by The King 's actions, while still displaying his…

    He does so by responding to the letter of the clergymen who said that he was untimely, extreme and had no business being in Birmingham. King developed an effective argument by using many rhetorical devices such as logos, ethos, pathos, metaphors and anaphors. The arguments King makes in the Letter and the use of these rhetorical devices are effective because it allows the audience to see King in a different way than before. For example his use of ethos and logos shows the audience that King is a bright and intelligent man who knows a lot about human rights and justice. By his use of constant examples and comparisons with famous historical figures I could infer that he knew what he was doing. His use of anaphora and pathos allowed me to personally feel connected to his subject and I felt genuinely bad for his cause and what he went through day to day. I believe that Kings use of logos, ethos and pathos made his argument very persuading. I feel that if I use these forms of arguments when I am defending a topic I could easily change someone’s mind about it. Building up my credibility and allowing people to feel emotionally connected to a situation is an easy way to pursued people that I am right. King does this in his letter to explain to people why his actions are justified and not “unwise and…

    With the usage of anaphoras, King can get his point across further by repeating the same phrases. In paragraphs 17-24, King says “I have a dream” at the beginning of each sentence. Throughout the speech, King repeatedly states that he has a dream, a dream of a country where there is peace and you are not judged for the color of your skin. In paragraph 6, King repetitively says, “now is the time.” These phrases emphasize his main message but also give off a sense of urgency.…

    King George VI portrayed some typical behaviors of stuttering in many scenes. Firstly, In the beginning of the movie, this is when he had not received speech therapy from Lionel. He was so nervous and anxious before giving out speech to the nation. After he got on the stage and started to speak at the closing of the British Empire Exhibition at Wembly Stadium, he repeated the word “the” for several times, which is a symptom of repetition of a word. Then, he was not able to read the script fluently because the sound is stopped in his mouth, which is a symptom of blocks. These are two primary behaviors of stuttering that a patient will experience. Secondly, the cause of King George VI’s disorder was related to his childhood experience which made…

    The main message that the speech has is freedom and equality. King had suffered the racial injustice of America at that time and was tired of the segregation. “We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating: ‘For Whites Only.’” At this point in time, society was segregated to an extreme. Blacks and whites did not mix, the black people were forced to sit at the back of the bus while the white people had the privilege of the front. The two races could not drink from the same water fountains and attended segregated schools. There had been attempts to make a change in the past such as Rosa Parks, however no one was able to leave the same lasting impression that King did and make such a change in society as we now know it.…
