Pitt's early speeches, sparse as they were, enabled Pitt to set precedents and improve his reputation as a public speaker, largely because of Pitt's ability to say whatever he desired. The fact that Pitt was able to obtain such a position in the first place was hugely influenced by his father, as well as friends he had acquired throughout his upbringing. For it was Charles Manners, 4th Duke of Rutland (a former colleague of Pitt at university) who greatly aided Pitt in securing Lowther's patronage. Pitt's maternal uncle, George Grenville, was also an important British statesman. But it was Pitt the elder who perhaps made the most sizable contribution to Pitt's ascent.

Dwight Eisenhower was inaugurated as the 34th president of the United States on January 20, 1953. The speech he gave at this event was a very important one. It called on Americans to unite themselves against their large foe, which at this point was communism. Some strategies he used in his speech to make successful is syntax, repetition, logos, and pathos. All three of these strategies are commonly used, but it takes an innovative man to use them and clearly support his purpose, and that is exactly what Dwight Eisenhower did with his address.
As leader of this great country, Barack is expected to fulfill the expectations of the citizens of the United States. Like Andrew Jackson, Obama is associated with the movement toward increase popular participation in government. Because Andrew Jackson was seen by many as the symbol of democratic feelings of his time, his term was recognized as the Ford 2 Jacksonian Democracy. Some would call him a hero, an expansionist, a man of his word. As time continues, dispute grows between historians over the Jacksonian Democracy’s social nature.
His inauguration speech was so effective that it captured the entire nation’s attention by the use of rhetorical devises such as antithesis, anaphora and imperative sentences to help him strengthen his purpose of unity and reassure American’s that their freedom would be upheld. John F. Kennedy begins his inaugural speech by using antithesis to emphasize the importance of his success in the presidential race. Kennedy describes his victory as “symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change.” This helps him create his purpose that he is going to take action but still hold onto the beliefs of our founding fathers. Kennedy Is reassuring America that even though they are going through tough times with the cold war, that they have to refer back to their roots for guidance. By describing these responsibilities passed on to the new generation, Kennedy invokes the need for the people to continue to support the ideas of freedom that have made the country so successful.
A thesis could be made: Men’s brave deeds which should be honored related to their noble virtues and the spirit of courage to fight for their country instead of their fame. Since the Pericles’ Funeral Oration took the history of the Peloponnesian War as its background, the purpose of the speech should be encouraging citizens to focus on the greatness of Athens and benefit the state with their brave deeds both in peace and in war. A democracy was taken by the government that made the administration be controlled in citizens. There was no exclusiveness. The
Roosevelt told the country what problems were at hand and dealt with them one-on-one, for example in his speech in San Francisco in 1932, “Our industrial plant is built; the problem just now is whether under existing conditions it is not overbuilt” [61]. Roosevelt also won over the people by promising, “that he would cut federal spending by 25 percent” [60]. Roosevelt simply had the gift of problem solving which eased America into voting for him, they knew and trusted that he would get America out of this
Many look to George Washington for the great things he accomplished in his lifetime. Winning the War for American Independence, being the first president, and shaping the way the Constitution was written and how the federal government was formed are all attributable to him. However, from his youth, he was a man who focused on the little details in his life predicted his behavior in large situations as they were presented to him. The mentality and experience he had from such a young age made him into the great leader he was. People who were under him as president must have enjoyed having a loyal educated president who knew what he was doing.
“you all did love him once, not without cause: what cause withholds you then to mourn for him now”(citation). Here Antony depicts how the crowd once did love him but because a man has put false ideas into their heads, they turn on him. A citizen of Rome should stand for their beliefs, not the ones that are put into their heads even if it is by a powerful and honorable man. Not only does Antony show much emotion towards the subject, but so does Brutus when he speaks during his own eulogy. Here Brutus illustrates his love Rome, “not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more” (citation).
This statement brought out the courage in Father Barry which then caused him to become a hero-like figure. When Father Barry delivers his speech to the longshoremen working after Kayo Dugan is killed, he is shunned by Friendly’s men. However this didn’t sway his opinion and feelings about the situation. Specifically when the camera is facing up to Friendly’s men and the other longshoremen, Father Barry sends the strong message of “Anybody who stands around and lets it happen... shares the guilt as much as the Roman soldier who pierced the flesh of our Lord.” On a separate occasion, Father Barry mentors Terry by telling him that he must testify the truth to the Waterfront Crime Commission. He questions Terry “How much is your soul worth?” In an attempt to make Terry question his past decisions and correct himself.
