assertion analysis blog #2 Barak Obama

      On September 7,2018 Barak Obama had went to university of Illinois to encourage students at the university to get out and vote. In his speech he uses a lot of shifts to get his message across. He starts of with I, you, they, we've, our, we, all of these shifts suggest that he wants the students of Illinois university to vote, along with, decent, honest, hardworking people, you.

     The main thing that Barak Obama is diction. There are many times that he used diction to get his point across. One of the times that he used diction in his speech was towards the end when he said "What's going to fix our democracy is you", this last part of his speech plays a big part in his speech because he's main goal was to encourage you to vote, to encourage the ones that are capable to vote to vote, because they are the ones that can do something to help out there future, the future.

     In his speech his tone helps the readers and listeners understand what type of idea he is trying to give to them. In his speech he uses tone in order to make them feel confident in themselves, to let them know that they are decent, that they are honest, that they are hardworking. He uses tone to control the emotions of the readers and listeners. I feel that tone really is what makes he speech different, it’s what makes it standout.

     Barak Obama speech has a lot of literary devices, some of the main devices that stand out are diction, tone, because these two things really shape the speech. Barak uses he words in order to sort of call out Donald trump, this really shows how he is able to shape his words, and take us back to a certain person, place, or thing.

    Use the organizational structure we talked about in class:
    Paragraph 1 - Provide background relative to thesis, then a thesis
    Paragraph 2 - Describe what the author says; key arguments, main ideas, messages, themes and arguments the author makes
    Paragraph 3 - Analyze ho the author says it; what techniques are used to promote the author's claims
    Paragraph 4 - Conclude by revealing "So What?" by connecting the ideas presented to the bigger issue

Assertion analysis blog #3 trump

     In Donald Trumps quote “American Dream: Perseverance”, be it taking about different ways you can get over or under the wall that he had built. Using different literary devices like imagery makes someone think a couple of things about trump and the purpose of him writing this quote. Using tone he try’s to create some type of fear towards the immagrants.      When reading the quote from Donald trump, the part when he says “ you can walk away from the wall, you can go over the wall, you can go under the wall, you can go around the wall, you can also obliterate the wall...and then let the positive outdistance the negative”. Trump is setting a satirical tone when saying all the different ways you could get over the wall. He makes it seem as if you can get over the wall, but he will catch you and send you back over that wall because he is more powerful then you, he wants you to think that you can go over the wall and not get caught, but he knows that you wi...

ROSE FROM CONCRETE

     Tupac Shakur considered by many to be one of the best rappers of all time writing "Rose From Concrete"the quote that's very personal and has so much meaning to it,showing where he came from and what he had gone through in order to get where he was,to reach out to and certain group of people and show them that you can make something out of nothing. Tupac had wrote this poem in order to represent something, I believe that he was trying to show that you can start off from the very bottom, and grow up to the top. To show that the world isn't always going to give you what you need in life.      This quote Consist of many different literary devices,one of them is imagery. Imagery is a visually descriptive or figurative language especially in a literary work. Tupacs quote has a lot of imagery involved in it because he was trying to be very descriptive with his words, to help people really understand where he was coming from. The words“ Rose From Concre...
