Joel Osteen's Speech Analysis

356 Words2 Pages

My first impression of the the speech was that it was going to be connecting the Bible and reaching for you destiny or goals. It took a slight turn and it was actually about how feeding into the negatives of your life is just going to make things for for you. I believe that the Joel Osteen is telling the truth because his experiences/examples sound honest and they are convincing. I know some people that have went through some of the situations that he said. When Osteen used diet metaphorically and said " no more dwelling on thoughts of worry, fear [and] I don 't have what it takes," it made me want to try going on this diet and become a better version of myself.

    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.

Mcraven touched the hearts of millions from all around the world by his inspirational message of how one person can change the world if they simply helped change the lives of ten others in their lifetime. I chose this speech for my rhetorical analysis because of the simple message it portrays, how helping a few can eventually help many. Adm.
