Republican Speech Comparison Essay

388 Words2 Pages

One of the things that I looked for when looking for two speeches to compare and contrast was one speech given by a Republican governor, and another by a Democratic governor. I believe if you were to compare two speeches from the same party they would have been too similar and very little to contrast. The two speeches that I choose were Governor Gary Herbert of Utah and Governor Peter Shumlin of Vermont. One of the biggest things that stood out right away was the focuses of the speech. Gary Herbert the Republican immediately focused on economic issues such as educational funding, He asked his legislators to focus on economic improvement in rural areas, air quality improvement and increasing access to health care. Governor Peter Shumlin the Democrat focuses most of his speech on his legacy and social issues. This is his final term as Governor due to him not seeking reelection so a lot of his speech was discussing his legacy, and what he hopes the next Governor would accomplish. Some of the issues discussed were expand opiate addiction treatment services, paid sick and maternity leave, he also …show more content…

They also both mentioned that even though they were in good shape more could be done to improve many of the different issues mentioned earlier. Both of these speeches were about the same length 6-8 pages, and very well written hitting the main points early and often. Both Governors did an amazing job laying out their agendas and not focusing on issues that didn’t pertain to the state of the state. Some of the common elements in the speeches are the positivity expressed by both governors. They both did a good job showing how much better off their state was, and even Peter Shumlin of Vermont not running for reelection was not afraid to brag up some of the things he passed during his administration. Overall the speeches were very well written, and very enjoyable to

Adding on, he used allusion to allow the audience to compare their situations to other situations, and rhetorical questions to get them to really think about the topic at hand. Also, his occasion, tone, and purpose of the speech all was appropriate for their status at the time.

    The speaker’s voice was extremely effective because she was outspoken and passionate about the subject she was speaking about. She maintained very good eye contact with the audience throughout the speech and asked questions to get people involved. When she would make a joke or get excited about something she would vary her vocal range and get louder, she told us that the reason she is so loud is because she was from New Jersey. Friedman did not move too far away from the podium, she leaned on the side of it for the majority of her presentation.

    This speech had a very serious tone, and was as emotional as it was logical. In the emotional aspect, he alluded to several different situations that made the People think, as the end goal of this speech was to get the People to vote for him in the election, and so the allusions he made causes People to see him in a much more different light, a serious light rather than the more humorous one he had as an actor. In a logical sense, he gave many statistics and how he can change things from one to another, and through his use of emotion and logic, his speech ended up being structured in a phenomenal way and the influence he had with this speech extended to every corner of America. Every American hearing the words he used was affected to a huge extent that it wasn't even funny. He showed respect for the old ways, for how things used to be taken care of, but he explained to the People that those ways simply won't work anymore, and new ways needed to be used, and that he is that new way,
