    Any good orator knows that the most efficient way to capture an audience is by forming a direct, personal connection. Antony does so by beginning his speech with, “Friends Romans, and countrymen” (3.2.131), conspicuously rearranging the order of the Brutus’ opening - “Romans, countrymen, and lovers!” (3.2.127). As Brutus began with “Romans” to articulate that Rome is very dear to him, Antony begins with “Friends” to reveal his value of personal relationships over being a countryman. Further on, Antony also mentions that, “[Caesar] was [his] friend, faithful and just to [him]” (3.2.131), once again, indicating that companionship holds more importance to him than being a Roman while also hinting the use of pathos.

    In William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Brutus uses ethos, logos, pathos, and rhetorical devices to convince the Romans that the execution of Caesar was necessary for the greater good of Caesar himself and the people. When explaining why it was vital for Caesar to be killed, Brutus explains it wasn't that he “loved Caesar less,” rather that he “loved Rome more” (3.2.21-22). By using parallel structure, Brutus makes it appear that he evaluated the two ideas equally in order for the Romans to see that his love for Rome triumphed over his friendship to one person. By saying that he doesn't hate Caesar, Brutus communicates that he was once friends with Caesar, which can be an example of ethos because it gives him credibility that he was even

    Soliloquy In Brutus’s soliloquy, he uses logos, ethos, and pathos. Brutus is having a internal conflict because he does not have a personal reason to kill Caesar, he only wants to do it for the people of Rome. When Brutus says that if they crown Caesar, they are giving him the power to do damage, he is using logos. There he is using logic because that is definitely a possibility with anyone who has all the power. Later Brutus uses ethos when he says he has never known Caesar to let his emotions get the best of him, but when Caesar reaches the top he turns his back on his supporters.

    In 1851, an abolitionist and women’s rights activist made a speech that has been remembered for hundreds of years since. Sojourner Truth, who was born in 1797 and escaped slavery in 1826, spoke at the Women’s Convention of Akron, Ohio over 150 years ago, giving a short but powerful speech on equality that still moves people today. However, the power of her speech did not come from years of education or her incredible intellect - as a slave, she most likely had very little education - the power of her speech came from the exact opposite. Truth could not read or write, so the speech had something that many speeches given today do not have: honesty. Truth uses rhetorical appeals in her speech by focusing on pathos, as she explains the struggles of those who are not equal, providing just enough information about herself to show them why she has authority on this matter (or
