Rhetorical Analysis Of Clinton's Speech

Overall, Hillary Clinton exhibited characteristics of a great public speaker when giving her speech on “Women’s Rights are Human’s Rights” to the United Nations audience in Beijing. She was confident and persuasive and included the key components of both verbal and nonverbal communication. Lastly, she gained the audience’s attention with her use of emotion and established

Dressed in a tight white pencil skirt and pink designer blouse, Melania walked across the stage to take her position behind the podium. Standing in front of a blue curtain and splitting six American flags, Mrs. Trump began her 15 minute speech. Throughout her address at the Trump Rally, Melania spoke about her husband’s views and goal for the future of America, her childhood and the process of becoming an American Citizen, as well as what type of future her and her husband envision. The overlying purpose of this speech was to dampen the harsh view on her husband, Donald Trump, and encourage the idea of positive change in America through compassion and charitable work.

Millions of Americans this election season are making the pledge, “I’m with her”, but is the woman in question making the pledge, “I’m with them” back in return? Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee for President of the United States, has seen growing support for her campaign against her opponent Donald Trump. Clinton has been caught in numerous scandals over her political career, and has been trying to redeem herself during this election period. Hillary Clinton recently said, “Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble, keep faith. And, when you’re knocked down, get right back up and never listen to anyone who says you can’t or shouldn’t go on.” (Would-Be President Hillary Clinton,

After losing key primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan, the Clinton campaign struck back by holding Ohio, defeating Sanders in New York, and then crushing any lingering hopes in California. The Clinton campaign knows how to fix problems. Similarly, what can be stronger in rebuilding her character and the ability of mainstream America to trust in her (again - remember her stratospheric poll ratings when she stepped down as Secretary of State?) than by having the most forceful speeches from Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and Barack Obama? And this same fearsome foursome will be all over the field from now until November 8, helping to shore up Hillary Clinton's standing with the American

In the beginning of Mrs. Obama’s speech she says, “See, I trust Hillary to lead this country because I’ve seen her lifelong devotion to our nation’s children--.” Mrs.Obama said this because she has so much faith in Hillary and she wants everyone else to have faith in her too. She used pathos and ethos as a rhetorical appeal because, she wants everyone to feel sad and vote for Hillary. Mrs. Obama used transfer as a rhetorical strategy because she used positive words about hillary.

One of the main purposes of Clinton’s speech was to try to convince everybody from different parties to join her campaign. This includes Republicans and Independents. She said that of all of the candidates she is the best fitted to be president. Therefore, it would be okay to vote against their party.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has been involved in politics from the time she attended Maine East High School to now. She has served as president of the Wellesley Young Republicans, president of the Wellesley College Government Association, served on the editorial board of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action, the first lady of Arkansas, the first lady of the United States, Senator of New York, United States Secretary of State, and now she is running for the 2016 presidency. When Hillary was decisively elected to the U.S. Senate, “it was the first time ever that a woman was elected Senator of New York, and the first time ever that a First Lady went on to hold public office (Ohebsion).”

Clinton takes a bold move to demand action from the leaders at the conference and in order to do that she must shift her tone to represent the authority she wants to present. There is another time in her speech where Clinton used an anaphora. Another point Clinton made sure to repeat is that “families will flourish” (Clinton) when “women are healthy and educated”, “full and equal partners in society”, and “free from violence” (Clinton). A major point in Clinton’s speech was that in order to help all people to succeed, women must first be allowed to succeed, and the people that will be directly affected because of this success would be the families. Clinton understood that the well-being of families is a point that would connect her audience because it is a topic that concerned most people, so she made sure to repeat that phrase several times. The mention of families is so important because even though there were so many people who opposed her speech, but they were also groups that were concerned for the well being of families, so she was able to use families to unite even the people who are against her. When looking at the diction of Clinton’s speech, she uses three different types of word

In this speech Hillary Clinton used several logical fallacies in her campaign for president against her opponent Donald Trump. In the speech given by Hillary Clinton she creates

Now we’re here tonight because America faces a choice — the choice of a new president. On one side is a man who inherited a fortune from his father and kept it going by cheating people, by skipping out on debts. A man who has never sacrificed anything for anyone. A man who cares only for himself, every minute of every day. On the other side is one of the smartest, toughest, most tenacious people on this planet, a woman who fights for children, for women, for healthcare, for human rights — a woman who fights for all of us and is strong enough to win those fights. We’re here today because our choice is Hillary Clinton. I’m with Hillary. I’m with Hillary. I’m with Hillary.

One of her quotes from her speech is about Donald Trump. She says, “He wants us to fear the future and fear each other.” This statement speaks to our nations emotions because she wants to persuade us that Donald Trump is not a good fit four our country. To make this statement more logical she could have said “Donald Trump has proven himself not fit for our country because he has not paid personal taxes in years; he criticizes his own nation’s racial differences, and has on numerous occasions picked on women’s flaws and body types.” This statement now contains facts but can also appeal to emotion at the same time because it is supported by factual statements.

"Hillary told me why she asked me to be her running mate. She said the test of a Clinton administration will not be the signing of a bill or the passage of a bill. It 'll be whether we can make somebody 's life better, whether we can make a classroom better learning environment for schoolkids or teachers, whether we can make a safer --

On July 28, 2016, history was made in a monumental way that even the Framers of the Constitution most likely wouldn’t have predicted. Now that eventful day will also be known as the day that Hillary Rodham Clinton accepted the nomination from the Democratic Party to run for President. What makes this situation an integral part of history is that Mrs. Clinton is the first female to be nominated for President and come November 8, 2016 there is possibility that she can making history by becoming the first female President. Being the first female to make such a speech could’ve been a factor of anxiety that Hillary had to encounter. Aside from these major implications that occurred on July 28, 2016, former Secretary Hillary Clinton gave a speech

The bodies of text we are choosing to examine are both Sanders’ and Clinton’s candidacy speeches, the transcripts of the primary debates, Clinton’s DNC speech, and the most recent transcripts of the presidential debates. Focusing on Clinton’s rhetoric before her interaction with Sanders, the height of her interaction with Sanders during the primaries, and the period where she no longer is running against him are crucial benchmarks in identifying a comprehensive timeline of her rhetoric.

The trials that she would have faced and the endurance that she had to stay positive is reflected in the way that she talks about her mother. This fact about her family history appeals to the emotions that we have about our own families and the strong connection she feels towards her. She explains that even though her mother faced such a tragic incident, she never gave up and that is why Hillary Clinton is so passionate about being a strong, effective voice for family values. I believe that the correlation between what her mother faced, and her strong desire to promote family effectively shaped her into the activist she is
