504 Words3 Pages

Fiona Schneider 9/8/2017 Maresca english 9 per 5 I am Fiona Schneider, I am a cheerleader, I am a lacrosse player, I am a friend, I am a daughter, and I am a sister. One thing that resonated with me that Ashton Kutcher said was it’s better to be smart and know it than to play dumb. It is not a good idea to act like someone you’re not in front of certain people. Be thoughtful and generous to people, saying don’t be rude to someone because of race or ethnicity, they are who they are and you are who you are. Now, what did Ashton Kutcher say that was so inspiring? The way Ashton Kutcher worded everything, covering a lot of information that teens needed to hear at the teen choice awards. Ashton Kutcher said “There was no job that …show more content…

There is a reason that he decided to make this speech at the teen choice awards, and there is a reason that he won that category. He decided to make that speech at that place (the teen choice awards) because he felt that it was a good idea for him to tell a huge variety of teenagers what they wanted and needed to hear. He wanted to express his feelings on that certain subject. Ashton Kutcher was most likely trying to come up with everything that he needed to say weeks before the awards show, and weeks before he even knew that he won anything at the teen choice awards that year (2013). He was most likely one of the best people to give a speech like this because he is a famous person that had to build his name for himself and make his name what it is today. He was the best person to give that advice or speech because he is a very famous person that many teenagers adore and are a big fan of. A lot of teenagers probably saw this and felt inspired and decided to make the best in whatever situation they’re in. Like most teens that saw this, I was inspired and I now try to make the most in any situation i’m in and I try to come out of a situation in a good mood and with a benefit. Ashton Kutcher worded everything well and did

    Linguistics Being supposedly made up on the spot, Noah S. Sweat did not have time to compose an eloquent speech about a controversial topic. He instead spoke a purely unfactual and highly descriptive banter using doublespeak to voice his opinion of whiskey. Both sides of his argument include impactual adjectives to describe the drink. Or as Mr. Sweat would say on line 6, “the devil’s brew,” or on line 12, “the philosophic wine”. Each side of his argument is entirely one sentence long, implying that he emotionally fuels his speech as he works out his thoughts with the audience as one thought flows to the other.

  • Tom Hanks Speech Rhetorical Analysis

    754 Words  | 4 Pages

    The topic of homosexuality in Tom Hanks speech is one of great division among the people of our country, especially at the time he chose to bring attention to it, yet his use of rhetorical speaking, particularly Ethos and Pathos, assist to both mitigate and normalize a typically polarizing issue. The introduction to his speech features an immediate nod to emotion when he mentions love and his “lover”, or wife, saying “I could not be standing here without that undying love… And I have that in a lover that is so close to fine, we should all be able to experience such heaven right here on earth”. By introducing the concept of “love” as the preliminary subject before the actual meaning of the speech is made clear, a common connection is made between the audience, who includes both celebrities and the American public, that is necessary to establish due to the status that the speaker possesses. Because of this elevated status, Ethos emerges as a secondary rhetorical device that aids Tom in delivering his message.
