She also states the situation she is in, “For the banquet speaker who criticizes the weaknesses and pretensions, or exposes the follies and sins, of his listeners — even at their invitation — does not generally evoke an enthusiastic — no less a friendly — response.” She tells them that she knows that they probably don't want to hear criticizes about them but she wants them to keep an open mind and to not completely shut her off. Towards the end of her introduction she also tries to explain that there is much wrong with the American Press but there is also things that are good about it, so she wants the audience to have an open mind about it .

Dustin Johnson The Muckrakers 9/19/16 Page Break When "Teddy" Roosevelt was giving the speech The Man With a Muck Rake, he was watching literally as the area around Washington DC was being built.

American journalist and politician, Clare Boothe Luce, in her opening speech at the 1960 Women’s National Press Club meeting, prepares her audience, qualifying and defending her forthcoming criticism. Luce’s purpose is to provoke thought in the journalist’s minds on what journalism is really about at its core. She adopts a frank and humorous tone to best capture the attention of her intended audience of female journalists. Through, appealing to the ethos, logos, and pathos with flattery, syllogism, and rhetorical questioning to prepare the audience for her message: “the tendency of the American press to sacrifice journalistic integrity in favor of the perceived public demand for sensationalist stories.” In the first paragraph of her speech, Luce assures the audience that “[she is] happy and flattered to be a guest of honor…”

The Responsibilities of Woman Speech Analysis The title of my speech is The Responsibilities of Woman and the speaker was Clarina Howard Nichols. Nichols was a mid-40s woman of middle class status. She only possessed a decent education, but still managed to obtain remarkable intelligence and even more impressive speaking skills. Her voice shined through her speech and it was clear that the speech was personal to her, due to the use of pronouns.
Due to the fact that she has asked her audience for opinions, and their feelings toward the American press. Luce has still continued to speak the truth about journalist not being completely honest. She presents herself by saying, “Even at their invitation- does not generally point evoke and enthusiastic- no less a friendly response” (L. 13-14). Luce explains and wants to let her audience know that the feedback is not going to be positive because of all the criticism she is going to receive, and points out the problem that is going to build in her position.
She does a great job of explaining her point to her audience by repeating her main point over and over again. However, this speech was given twenty years ago, nothing was changed. At the time when Clinton gave her speech, it may not have been appreciated that much by the society. However, she mentioned this speech again in 2008, and this time, many more people came to know the reality of how women are being treated in other countries. Her speech was also considered influential in women’s rights movement.
People remember this has a great speech because what she represents in this speech is hope, gratefulness, and guidance. Also the rhetorical devices she uses makes the speech that much more personal. Her use of an apostrophe or using an imaginary person was a great addition to the speech. She stats “ where after all do universal human rights begin? In a small places, close to home, so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world of the individual person; the individual person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or college he attends”(adoption).

What's Screen Printing? screen printing (or Silk-screening) is a printing approach that makes use of a woven mesh to guide an ink-blocking off the stencil. The attached stencil bureaucracy open regions of mesh that transfer ink or different printable substances, which may be pressed via the mesh as a sharp-edged photo onto a substrate.

The late 19th century consisted of rigid work hours for children, the growth of strikes, and the use of yellow journalism. It was a challenging time for anyone below the upper class to live in.
