    Hillary and Trump both had very persuasive speeches, they both used the three appeals very differently, like Hillary used the emotional appeal more and Trump used the logical and the ethical appeal more. They both were very well thought out speeches and they both spoke to the delegates at each convention plus the people that were watching on TV. They both made an a point to at least try and use all three rhetorical appeals to be the most persuasive they can be, but in the end, its up to what people in America see fit. Its up to the Americans to go over everything the candidate believes in and what they say in these speeches to decide who would be the better president. Hillary and Trump both have many reasons why they feel they are the best…

    In the New York Times, “Feminism, Hell and Hilary Clinton”, by Frank Bruni discusses how ridiculous the mentality is that if you are a woman you need to vote for Hilary Clinton. He briefly discusses some statements that were made by some very influential women, Madeline Albright and Gloria Steinem. Bruni seems to almost mock their opinions that “women are more or less damned if they’re not on Hilary Clinton’s team”. Bruni makes it known that he doesn’t disagree with these statements because he doesn’t like Hilary Clinton based on her gender, but more so on her policies. Bruni is able to use some aspects of ethos and logos in this op-ed, and his relaxed tone throughout makes his writing not only easy to read, but easy to agree with; this all…

    In America, all people have the right to vote, except for women, “Woman suffrage is inevitable. Suffragists knew it before November 4, 1917; opponents afterward” (Catt 1). It is important for women to have the right to vote because all people deserve to have a say in what happens in their government. Catt believes that women should have the right to vote and wants others to agree. In “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage,” Carrie Chapman Catt conveys ethos to achieve the audience’s trust, pathos to engage the audience emotionally, and logos to present factual information in order to persuade the audience to believe that woman suffrage is a very important topic and should not be overlooked.…

    Son, I can see clearly that you accompanied the mission, but ours just started. The President, the First and Second Lady, our loved ones in our administration, our families and most of our fellow Americans went through a lot for the past seven years to call the mission accomplished. If we can win wars like we did in the State of South Carolina, then our mission will continue until eternity. Elizabeth, Bernie and I were fighting to be your guest tonight. I am glad I won the coin toss. It's been a long time for you and I. I am agreeing with most of what you have been indicating. You know me well enough, if I don't I will inform you. In fact, I am loving it. Loving it also stands for the Second Lady. As you already know, I have spent decades in and out of the chamber trying to make this great nation of ours, the Land of Peaceful Fighters heaven on Earth.…

    Speaker’s use diction, syntax, and imagery to reflect their tone. In her final argument, Clinton says “After the world watched with horror as the twin towers fell, he called in to a New York TV station, and even on that horrible day when thousands of people lost their lives, he couldn’t stop himself from pointing out that now, because the towers had fallen, a building he owned was the tallest in Lower Manhattan.” Hillary Clinton's use of words like “horror” and “horrible” sets an apathetic tone. By setting this tone Clinton hopes to show voters how self-centered Donald Trump is. While Clinton strives to prove that Donald Trump was self-centered, Trump ventured to show that Hillary Clinton was crooked. Donald Trump first called Hillary Clinton…

    As Denise Graveline summarized, female politicians can be “competent or likable, but not both.” Graveline also looked at other female politicians who faced the same double bind as Clinton is currently facing. She recognized that Geraldine Ferraro, the first female vice presidential candidate “lacked the credibility of a male candidate [and thus] adopted a stronger, more masculine style that may have suited her less” (Chozick). In many ways this is exactly what Clinton strives to reconcile by adjusting the way she speaks in order to appease her audience.When Clinton tries to speak as she is expected to as a woman, she doesn’t fit with society's idea of a powerful candidate. Simultaneously, when she employs features frequently attributed to men’s rhetoric she marks her speech as even more abnormal and her authenticity is questioned (Gunn). Traditionally, a man’s worth is determined by his accomplishments in his professional life, while a woman’s worth is based on intrinsic qualities with which she was born (Eckert and McConnell Ginet). Under this belief, it makes some sense that some people would struggle to value Clinton’s worth as a politician as she is a woman and also a politician. This idea also suggests why critics focus on Clinton’s manners of speaking more than those of any male politicians; language is an intrinsic quality, and…
