American Voice is characterized by three themes. One is that Americans are hard workers. The second one is that they are brave no matter what. Last but not least the third theme is that they are grateful.

I punched in the gate code and began driving down the dirt road; galloping horses roamed the 8 acre astonishing grounds. The commentaries of prior professors flew nearby like an old cartoon that just got whacked in the head and had birds flying around. Find a supervisor who will give you your hours and help you grow, therapy needs to be engaging, change the scenery or choose an ethical work place! These are the words I took into consideration when I was being interviewed and interviewing my supervisor. Nonetheless the last six months I have been honored with the opportunity to serve as the Speech Language Pathologist Assistant at Glenoak Therapeutic Riding Center, A Place for Speech.

“Malcom X” is a great movie where Denzel Washington plays the role of Malcom X. Washington did a phenomenal job playing this role. After doing my research on Malcom X in the past, Malcom X once said “I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against”. In the speech that I will focus on Malcom X shockingly said he stands for nothing but what he was when he was born; a black man. Malcom X’s address to the people of Harlem grabbed many people’s attention. I believe the speech is meant to inspire and encourage the people, and convey the position of a black man in America. (Basically describing how one cannot do anything without a white man’s permission) With this I will tell who the audience was and how they

The various ideologies of love mentioned by speakers in Plato’s Symposium portrayed the social and cultural aspect of ancient Greece. In the text, there were series of speeches given by Phaedrus, Pausanias, Eryximachus, Aristophanes, Socrates, and Agathon about the idea of love, specifically the effect and nature of Eros. Within the speakers, Agathon’s speech was exceptional in that his speech shifted the focus of the audience from effect of Eros on people, to the nature and gifts from the Eros. Despite Agathon’s exceptional remarks about Eros, Socrates challenged Agathon’s characterization of Eros through utilization of Socratic Method.

On the 27th of October in 1964, Ronald Reagan gave a speech called “A Time for Choosing” on behalf of Barry Goldwater. His speech was so popular that it is also known as “The Speech”. Afterwards, Ronald Reagan ,also known as The Great Communicator, was thought of by many people as a great political speaker. This speech was given to endorse the Goldwater campaign, even though Goldwater lost the election. The Speech launched Reagan’s political career into action and he later went on to be the Californian governor and President of the United States. Reagan used passion, logic, and his great reputation to build up his and Goldwater’s careers.

How powerful is a single story? At Ted Global 2009, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a Nigerian novelist, expresses her view of single stories and the ways in which they are used to create stereotypes and divides us as a people. Adichie’s talk, “The Danger of a Single Story”, stimulates careful consideration to what happens when people and situations are reduced to a single narrative. She believes single stories are highly correlated with the power structures of the world and have the ability to strip people of their humanity. In my rhetorical analysis essay, I will detail how Adichie’s talk is effective in persuading her audience because of the Cause & Effect Analysis, Exemplification, and Metadiscourse rhetorical strategies.

Oprah Winfrey uses her Cecil B de Mille acceptance speech to cast light on societal issues of corruption, discrimination, objectification, and racism. Oprah’s speech reflects an age and dialogue of constant controversy and arguable division surrounding allegations of sexual assault, mistreatment, and the seemingly unthinkable idea of an underlying patriarchy within the film industry. Oprah explores and conveys these ideas through the use of various persuasive linguistic and oratorical techniques. This is seen through her use of ethos and pathos when creating an emphatic delivery and appealing to the emotions of the audience when utilising anecdotes. This is also further seen through her repetition of female pronouns when persuading the audience

Theories of late adulthood development are quite diverse in later adulthood than at any other age. They include self-theory, identity theory and stratification theory. The self-theory tries to explain the core self and search to maintain one’s integrity and identity. The older adults tend to integrate and incorporate their various experiences with their vision and mission for their respective community (Berger, 2008). Also, the older people tend to feel that their attitude, personalities and beliefs have remained in a stable state over their lives even as they acknowledge that physical changes have taken place in their bodies. Objects, things and even places become precious as a way to hold on to identity that has been there for quite some

The things I carry are what makes me the person I am today, my intangible and tangible objects are equally as valuable. The thing I carry which sets me apart from the majority of our peers is my lacrosse stick. To me my lacrosse stick represents my drive and perseverance through everyday struggles. My lacrosse stick holds a great weight considering me without my lacrosse stick is like a baseball player with no arm to pitch with. I carry my lacrosse stick with great pride, my lacrosse stick has shaped me to become the student-athlete I am today. Without my lacrosse stick i’m not sure where I would be today, I definitely would not have the values, experiences, and qualities that I have obtained over the past 6 years through carrying

“The Boys of Fall” refers to the season of fall and when you think of fall, you think of Friday night football games. Several speeches, songs and even poems have been written about these times. Now when I think of the Boys of Fall I refer to the Friday Night Lights Coach Gaines “Sincere Warfare” speech. Coach Gaines uses several rhetorical devices, such as ethos, pathos, logos, hyperbole’s, and anaphora.

Meanwhile, while dining, their conversation begins.

I believe that “owning” the tangible helps to build moral character, but there is a fine line where “ownership” can become detrimental. “Ownership” is not detrimental until the object becomes idolized. “Owning” the tangible goods helps to build sense of self.

Since the guardian voice was my fifth voice, I would use my former manager was an examples. The statement that best describes her is “They seek clarity as well as logical and proven decision-making criteria even if they have to ask the tough questions to get there!” When she was faced with any departmental issues with her employees, would seek clarity before approaching the situation.
