The men are heavily out numbered and tired and weak while the French enemy is fit and ready to fight. King Henry uses many persuasive techniques to encourage his men. When King Henry says “We band of brother” it creates to very persuasive techniques the first being alliteration, the strong sounds of the b word makes the quote very catchy and strong and defiant. The second technique is inclusive language which lets the soldiers be on his level, this is very powerful as it makes the soldiers believe that he is not just a King telling them what to do, but he is a comrade fighting to the death side by side with them, this engages the audience and makes them think on your level.

Tom, You seem to have missed the Earthquake analysis. This is one homework warning - if you would like to discuss this please see me. Your other work is good. Try to begin your paragraphs with the idea or point as in the PETAL structure we discussed rather than with the quote you are using. I look forward to seeing your Henry V analysis.

Firstly Suzuki uses a personal anecdote when she says, “I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until just a few years ago we found the fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day — vanishing forever.” This engages the listeners and it lets them into the speaker’s life so it is a personal engagement. Instead of speaking to people she doesn’t know she is letting them into her life. Then Suzuki uses a rhetorical question; ‘ Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?’ This makes the reader think about what they are doing to younger generations and also makes them feel a sense of guilt. She uses repetition when she says, “We buy and throw away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will not share with the needy.” This almost attacks the listeners with guilt and makes them really realize that they are damaging their planet. Finally Suzuki uses 2nd person pronoun; “You are what you do, not what you say.” “If you don’t know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!” This directs her speech at the audience so they are more engaged than they would have been before. In the case of this speech, she is directing the words at the people who are able to change the way we live today so that we are not polluting the earth and destroying it. In conclusion I think that Suzuki’s speech is a very good and persuasive speech because it has made me think about how I live my life and how I can change to help save electricity, gas and other products.
