The Magic of Words

OH MY GOD! I am so satisfied, even though I am an American, I am very pleased with the fact that Obama is the president of the U.S.A. Something that stands out in his speech, and in every time he talks is the confidence that covers him immensely. He is so calm and so clear at everything that he says; he was no doubt and is completely positive at every word he pronounces. His movements are minimum, he changes his view from one place to another, like talking to each individual personally, his stare is fixed and his eyes don’t move around. He has some hand gestures that reaffirm some of the arguments he is stating. He points sometimes, giving a lot of strength to the word he says. The gestures are not distracting at all; they instead give a lot of “magic” to his speech. He uses a bit of every rhetoric. “WE are and always will be the United States of America” demonstrative and deliberative at the same time. “it was build by working men and women who dug their little savings to give 5$, 10% or 20$ to the cause” He is talking the way his campaign was brought up, this is a use of pathos and ethos because the is telling the people, the struggle he has to go through, and at the same time saying that he is honest and that he worked himself up. “The challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime” deliberative. “There are mothers and father that lay awake when their children are sleeping thinking how they are going to pay the mortgage” that’s a use of pathos. Obama’s words are so strong that when the audience was shown by the cameras, more than one was crying. To produce those feeling in an audience just by speaking is the power of rhetoric.
