Severen Suzuki, an outgoing, 12 year old Canadian speech maker persuades her Audience by using many persuasive techniques to make her audience believe that they are not doing enough to protect the environment that she is living in. Her speech took place at the UN at the Earth Summit in 1992 and she alone spoke in front of hundreds of adults and highly regarded people of the world. Firstly, She uses repetition throughout her whole speech. Her use of repetition such as “I am only a child yet I know” gives the audience a feeling that she knows what she's talking about even though she is much younger than the majority of the audience she can make a bigger impact than the Audience aswell. Secondly, you can see a few examples of listing an example is; “* You don’t know how to fix the holes in our ozone layer. * You don’t know how to bring salmon back up a dead stream. * You don’t know how to bring back an animal now extinct. * And you can’t bring back forests that once grew where there is now desert.” Using listing gives the point short and sweet and gives the speech a bit of organisation, also by using listing its yet again emphasising the fact that it was never her fault but a combined effort of everyone who has ever exists and not the children of today. Finally, She uses personal anecdotes within her speech, they relate to her child hood and how those moments will never again be revisited by catching diseased fish from "I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad…" it could also be used as emotive language as it relates to the audience's own experience with their mother or father. In conclusion, Severen Suzuki used several persuasive techniques effectively but if it did anything to Change the mind of the UN we do not now. I'm sure the majority of the world's 12 year old population wouldn’t dare to do such a bold thing and deliver it so well. The News Article in the Sydney Morning herald titled 'A broken city: fears earthquake death toll will reach 200' uses Persuasive Language to tell us about the devastation caused by the violent earthquake which hit Christchurch not long ago. Firstly, a persuasive technique that nearly any piece of writing can't be without, adjectives. The Author of the News Article describes the scene you would see if you were there. The author says "New Zealand's second largest city searched frantically all night for survivors." 'frantically' being the adjective gives the reader a better mental image of what is going on in Christchurch on the night after the terrible earthquake. Secondly, the author uses the technique of statistics to show the reader the extent of the earthquake using numbers indicating the death toll, the intensity of the earthquake and the estimated cost of repairs such as in the following, "Economists believe the damage bill will exceed the $NZ6 billion cost in September." In conclusion, the author uses these persuasive techniques to make us further believe and understand the devastation this natural disaster has caused for a nation.

**shakespeare** In Act 1, Scene 7, Page 2 Shakespeare used persuasive language and created a persuasive text which is Lady Macbeth's speech to Macbeth in Shakespeare's play 'Macbeth. Firstly, he uses many rhetorical questions to get the follower to be more involved in the story but in the excerpt only Lady Macbeth uses rhetorical questions making Macbeth 'crack' under pressure and make him feel uncomfortable. An example of this is "Were you drunk when you seemed so hopeful before? Have you gone to sleep and woken up green and pale in fear of this idea?" Secondly, he uses first person pronouns as emphasis on who out of either Lady Macbeth and Macbeth is making a point about themselves. An example from Macbeth is " I dare to do only what is proper for a man to do" Thirdly, he uses emotive language to relate to what is in our hearts and this one seems quite violent she stays she would throw a baby at a wall without even flinching the part discussed before are from the following "and I know how sweet it is to love the baby at my breast. But even as the baby was smiling up at me, I would have plucked my nipple out of its mouth and smashed its brains out against a wall" In conclusion, Shakespeare uses quite graphic and violent uses of persuasive techniques and makes your mental imagejust that

Good progress Carl. I would like to see your techniques tables and the highlighting you have done for the analysis of each of these texts. Your written analysis for each task is good but brief in places. I look forward to seeing your Henry V analysis. Try to use the PETAL acronym and go into a bit more detail about the effect of the persuasive techniques used and how they support ideas about manhood, honour, wisdom and courage etc. APA progress: 1.5 Miss A.
