Displayed clearly on my blog are two political speeches that are delivered by two different men for different audiences, both with completely different points of view. The first video of Clint Eastwood’s speech clearly reaches out to voters who are against Obama considering that most of his speech pokes fun at the president. It seems to be very republican influenced and mocks many of the president’s so called false promises. It attacks many of the political issues that deal with our nation and tries to persuade the audience into believing that president Obama has not yet solved these issues. The intent of Clint Eastwood’s speech is to simply belittle the president’s past efforts running our government, and stating a sense of dislike for the president’s actions. The entire idea behind the speech is to persuade the audience into disliking what our president has done so far for our nation. On the contrary, the President’s speech where he is accepting his re-election has the entirely opposite meaning. It intends to persuade its audience that his past efforts and accomplishments have been a good starting point for our nation, so that many of the unresolved political issues we face can be solved with time. He uses persuasive language in order to ease the audience and let them believe that he is still capable of fixing many issues. He glorifies any past accomplishments that he has had, so that he can make the audience believe he will only continue to do the same in our future. While both videos are entirely different in the message they get across to the audience, they are actually similar in the sense that they both use ethos, pathos, and logos to get across their ideas. For example, Clint Eastwood’s speech uses pathos by appealing to the emotion of frustration and dislike for the president and his actions. He uses words to make fun of the president so that he can appeal to the audience’s emotion of dislike and distrust. He presents his speech in a very comedy oriented manner, which appeals to the emotion of the audience. He is also not necessarily a man of credibility in regards to politics, but uses his celebrity status to appeal to his credibility. This falls into the idea of ethos. The speech is well organized ,so it leads into logic such as logos also. President Obama’s speech contains all three of the same subject areas. He uses his high ranking power as president to establish ethos. He makes it seem that everything that he says must be correct since he is the president, so therefore he is a man of credibility. His speech is completely filled with the idea of pathos. He appeals to emotion throughout the entire speech. He uses words such as hope, change, faith, and perseverance to create emotion within the audience. His speech is structured so that everything said flows well with logic. Logic is also very well described. While both videos are entirely different in their themes, they are similar in the manner in which they are delivered using ethos, pathos, and logos.
