Transcript: ¨We are Virginia Tech¨ By Yolande Giovanni Purpose Purpose The purpose of the speech is to motivate people to move on, yet have them not forget Audience Audience The audience are students, teachers, victims, Virginia Tech, and people who were involved Rhetorical Device #1 Rhetorical device #1 Pathos is being used to show how these people are innocent and didn't deserve to be put in this situation Yolande Giovanni uses parallelism and imagery to show pathos This example of imagery and parallelism supports pathos because it is giving diffrent examples of tradegies that you can invision in your head but also stir empathy for the people going through those situations "We know we did nothing to deserve it, but neither does the child in Africa dying from AIDS; neither do the invisible children walking the night away to avoid being captured by the rouge army; neither does the the baby elephant watching his community be devastated for ivory.... No one deserves a tragedy" Quote from speech Definition of imagery:describing something that we can image in our heads Definition of parallelism: sentences that are gramatically the same or in similar construction Rhetorical Device #2 Rhetorical Device #2 Ethos is being used to describe who the school is morally Yolande Giovanni uses antithesis and repetition to show ethos These examples of antithesis and repetition are using ethos to describe how the school is morally by showing who they are and how strong they are together as a community Quote from speech: "We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid. We are better than we think, and not quite what we want to be" definition of antithesis: two opposite ideas are put together to create a contrasting affect Definition of repetition: repeats the same words or phrases a few times to make an idea more clear and memorable The speech was very effective. The whole audience stood up at the end and cheered. The speech really moved them and the showed them a real importance to what was being said Effect of Speech Effect of Speech
