123 Words1 Page

    By now, anyone who has paid attention to this presidential election cycle understands how Donald Trump behaves.   When attacked or criticized, the GOP Presidential Nominee “counterpunches” with his own attacks and criticism which almost always come out harsher and unconventional. In the media, his responding rhetoric is largely portrayed and spun as the latest “new low” for his candidacy. To his adversaries, Trump’s response further proves their point he 's “temperamentally unfit” to be the President of the United States. For his supporters and the multitude of neutral independents, it matters less what Trump says when countering attacks.

    By using powerful words, the audience will understand the importance of America needing to make changes and will listen to Clinton about what would happen if America does not make changes and faces dull consequences. Without the use of these powerful words, the speech would lose its importance, and the audience would not take this speech seriously. Therefore, powerful diction is an essential key to any speech or writings because it strengthens one’s ideas and arguments, and Clinton’s selection of words shows that the conflicts are important, and it is urgent that America needs to make a change. Clinton’s use of allusions and strong diction are essential parts of his speech, and it would deliver a different message without those rhetorical devices. His use of these devices conveys the urgency of making a change to make America a better nation, and it also shows him as a powerful

He makes this one of his major points of influence, promising that he will raise employment and decrease those living off of the government. Trump also uses allusions to America’s declining education system in that previously mentioned quote which, if you look at the facts, is true, seeing as America spends much more on students than other developed countries, and still gets a somewhat disappointing pay out. He also uses analepsis, shown when he says, “We Will Make America Wealthy Again.
