 * __How does Henry V persuade his troops to fight with him?__**

Henry the V on Saint Crispian’s day uses lots of persuasive techniques to convince his troops even though they are outnumbered 5 to 1 to fight with him in the act of manhood, honour, wisdom and courage. He uses rhetorical questions, inclusive language, alliteration and personal anecdote to make his band of brother’s fight with him. Firstly, Henry V uses a rhetorical question to get them thinking about what they would do. He states “What’s he that wishes so”. The rhetorical question gets the men thinking about should they fight alongside with their cousins and brothers or be a coward and go home. The manhood makes them remember who they are by using the rhetorical question.

Secondly, Henry V uses inclusive language to try and bond their army together as men. He shouts “If we are marked to die, we are enough to do our country loss”. Inclusive language tells the listeners in this case the men of England that we are fighting together and there will be no man for himself. The Honour used is that the men would be fighting alongside with their king.

Thirdly, Henry V uses manhood to make his army fight with him in battle. He states “ This story shall the good man teach his son ” passing on of wisdom from father to son. This means that the men will teach their sons how to fight in the battle which gives them more honour and courage going into the conflict.

Lastly, Henry V uses alliteration to convince the soldiers to fight alongside Henry V. He states “we band of brothers”, the alliteration of the “B” sound evokes the idea of strength, makeshift and courage. The uses of the alliteration makes the soldiers feel like they are part of a family going into to fight for their country. In conclusion, Henry V uses these four techniques to persuade his troops to go into battle and fight alongside him as one. The uses of these persuasive techniques also make the soldiers feel like they have a more of a likely hood of winning.

Cameron, Excelent progress. Well done on keeping up while you were away. Your Henry V analysis is good. I would like you to think about the first sentence of each paragraph. Instead of leading your paragraph with the technique you are going to discuss, begin your paragraph with the idea you are going to discuss - and THEN talk about the technique used to highlight this idea. overall great effort.
