Henry V attempts to motivate his troops before the famous St Crispin's Day battle where Henry's men are heavily outnumbered. His troops are feeling down and most of them almost feel like they've already lost this great battle. And it is up to this great King to rally his troops and get them ready and motivated for the battle that lies ahead. Henry V starts to motivate his troops by appealing to the men's manhood. By saying that the troops were a "band of brothers" he tells them of how it would not be right to leave the troops before battle as it would deprive the person of manhood. He also uses repetition to drive home the fact that they are a band of brothers. He convinces the people that it is an honourable act to fight for your country as it would give great honour back home and how the names of people would be famous after this great victory of honour and glory. Henry V also persuades his troops to fight for him by telling his men to fight because of their legacy if they win in this battle and how this famous victory will be passed down from generation to generation - from father to son; it will be told as a folklore story. Henry implies that if they do not fight for their country in this famous battle then their name cannot be etched into the history books. Henry also speaks about the cowardice of a man if they did not battle with his men. Henry V speaks about men (who leave before battle) as people that only really care about himself and the disdain that Henry (and his troops) would feel if any man walked away. This fact is completely repeated throughout the speech to really give emphasise to this fact. With all these persuasive techniques Henry V really gives his troops are truly motivational speech.



THE death toll in the Christchurch earthquake stood at 65 last night, and there were fears it would exceed 200 as rescue teams in New Zealand's second largest city searched frantically all night for survivors. Up to 200 people were feared trapped in buildings that collapsed as an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 struck at lunchtime yesterday. Bystanders described the city as a war zone, with dead bodies lying on streets, buildings demolished, vehicles flattened, roads ruptured, and water and silt - earthquake liquefaction - swamping the central city. The blacked out central city was under heavy security last night. About 400 army personnel are expected to be on duty today. As aftershocks struck, office workers jumped from fourth floors, abseiled down the side of collapsed office blocks or were rescued by cherry pickers while gas mains ruptured, and fires broke out, threatening to engulf the city centre. Christchurch Hospital was unable to cope and the city ran out of ambulances. Private cars ferried people to medical help and many of the injured were taken to other towns. The Prime Minister, John Key, confirmed the death toll at 65. The opposition Labour leader, Phil Goff, who also flew to the city, said police had told him that between 200 and 300 people might be dead. The mayor of Christchurch, Bob Parker, said at least 100 people were trapped in about six sites and up to 200 people could be trapped across the city. ''I don't believe there will be thousands dead, but we're certainly talking dozens of people who are in peril and they may not be able to be saved.' Last night Sky News reported that rescuers had pulled 120 people alive from the rubble. A state of emergency was declared and the central business district evacuated. Power and gas were shut off to prevent fire. The city's water and sewerage was damaged and people were urged to conserve and boil water. Mr Key said extra police and army reinforcements had been brought in to help. I don't think we can go past the fact that we may well be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day, he said. The Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, told Parliament she had spoken with Mr Key. I said very simply to him that anything we have got that they need we will get to them. The air force flew a NSW search and rescue team of 40 to New Zealand and more help is on the way. At least 8000 Australians are thought to be in the area. The earthquake hit at 12.51pm (10.51am Sydney time). Another earthquake, measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, struck Christchurch on September 4 and the region has since been shaken by aftershocks. Large parts of the city and suburbs to the south - including Lyttelton where the quake was centred at a depth of five kilometres - were hit. Wharves at Lyttelton Port, the region's main shipping terminal, suffered damage but reopened within hours. <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">The earthquake caused the New Zealand dollar to drop by more than 1¢ against the US dollar. Economists believe the damage bill will exceed the $NZ6 billion cost in September. <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">The manager of the data centre at the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, Kevin Fenaughty, said this earthquake caused more damage than the one in September because of its shallowness. ''It's a nightmare. A lot of people were just getting back on their feet after the original quake.'' <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">There were fears for people trapped in offices including the Canterbury Television building and the Pyne Gould Guinness building. A group of Japanese exchange students were reportedly among those trapped. <span style="background-color: yellow; color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">The historic Anglican cathedral has been the city's centrepiece for 107 years. When the September earthquake struck it stood firm, a symbol of endurance and hope. <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">That time, much of the city was tucked up in bed, the CBD deserted. Not so yesterday. The CBD was on its lunch break. People were shopping, eating in offices or restaurants. A few were in the cathedral when the quake hit. <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">The 63-metre cathedral spire rocked, swayed and fell. <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">The dean, Peter Beck, could not confirm if any were under the rubble. <span style="color: black; direction: ltr; display: block; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in;">We just don't know if there were people underneath, so all we can do now is just pray.

How does Lady Macbeth Persuade Macbeth to kill King Duncan. Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth to kill King Duncan by using a lot of persuasive techniques to force Macbeth to think about whether or not to claim the throne. Firstly she uses rhetorical questions to make Macbeth think about who he is and what he could potentially become. Lady Macbeth also questions Macbeth's manhood using rhetorical questions ("If you weren't a man, then what kind of animal were you when you first told me you wanted to do this?"), this effect also helped Lady Macbeth persuade Macbeth to kill King Duncan. She also uses nasty rhetorical questions to shock Macbeth and think about what he is doing ("Will you take the crown you want so badly, or will you live as a coward, always saying 'I can't' after you say 'I want to"). These use of rhetorical questions shake Macbeth to the core by Lady Macbeth directly attacking Macbeth using rhetorical questions. Secondly Lady Macbeth uses Personal Anecdote to persuade Macbeth. This gives Macbeth a view of what Lady Macbeth would do in order to keep her promises; by saying that she would smash her own baby's brains out if she pledged to do it tells Macbeth that he should be doing the same sort of thing (in that context) in order to get the throne, this shows that Lady Macbeth commits to what she pledges for and that Macbeth should do the same. Finally, Lady Macbeth persuades Macbeth by using 2nd person pronoun, by using this form of high modality Lady Macbeth drives home the fact that Macbeth should follow his pledge and become King of England by killing Duncan. By using 2nd person pronouns such as "you" attacks Macbeth directly and gives the King Hit verbally. Lady Macbeth also uses 'you' to also attack Macbeth on a personal note again and again. By using these techniques as listed above Lady Macbeth is able to persuade Macbeth to murder King Duncan and claim the throne of England. * Severn Suzuki is a 12 year old girl from Canada that is speaking to adults from the UN and persuading them to take action against the environment being damaged and wasted, and the failure of these delegates to act against poverty at the Earth Summit in Brazil in 1992. Severn uses many speech techniques to persuade he audience. First of all she uses Personal Anecdote such as: "I used to go fishing in Vancouver with my dad until we found a fish full of cancers. And now we hear about animals and plants going extinct every day - vanishing forever." This technique makes the audience step back and realise what is happening to the world in a personal note giving emphasis on what she is trying to persuade. The second technique that Severn uses to persuade her UN audience is the use of Rhetorical Questions like: "Did you worry about these little things when you were my age?". This technique encourages the audience to again step back and consider the issue at hand and forces Severn's point of view. Thirdly she uses the technique of the first person plural to convey her speech: "I have no hidden agenda" and "I am fighting for my future". This technique gives a personal and sincere tone by emphasising her personal mission to save the planet, and again encourages and almost forces the audience to agree with her. And finally, Severn uses the language technique of emotive language, using phrases such as: "starving children", "fish full of cancer" and "I am afraid to go out into the sun". This creates vivid images for the audience. And reinforces her concern about the environment and the need for the leaders to act.
