Joe Biden November 2020 Speech

At the time of this speech, the election had finished, Joe Biden clearly won, but Donald Trump and some others were complaining the election was stolen. This situation existed for some time (weeks) before Joe Biden delivered this speech. This information is a good example of...

• Context in SPACECAT

• Exigence in SPACECAT

• An appeal to pathos

• Purpose in SPACECAT

Who is the speaker for this speech from Joe Biden?

Based only the words and phrases that follow, what is the tone of the speech?

Battle (said more than once)

Enemy

Opponents

Bad bets to bet

Our darkest impulses

• Unifying

• Patriotic

• Divisive and/or Dark

• Matter of Fact

Identify the purpose of the speech - which of these doesn't go with it? (Meaning three support this purpose, which doesn't fit that mold?)

• "Let's" look ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind

• We're good people

• I pledge to be a president that seeks not to divide, but to unify

• I began thinking of a hymn that means alot to me.

When it comes to ELP Appeals, it's got something for everyone. But if you had to pick, which one does it seem to have the least of? (I'd go with your first instinct on this.)

• I think less reason and logic (logos)

• I think less appeals to patriotism and love of country (pathos)

• I think less ethos efforts to build trust with audience, credibility, humility

• This is a tough call! Don't pick this one.

And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example. This is a pretty good example of

• Simile

• chiasmus

• repetition

• anaphora

Biden's speech has it all. What is a good example of Anaphora?

• Ahead to an America that cures diseases like cancer. Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind.

• And we lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example

• A convincing victory. A victory for we the people

• Says the United States of America repeatedly

If I had to give the speech a single tone word, it would have to be....(note there are two good ones below, but one should win)

• Unifying

• Optimistic

• Scholarly

• Condemning

Joe Biden's speech is for everyone, but if you had to pick a segment of our society it seems mostly focused on it would be...

• Those that voted for him

• Those that did not vote for him (and voted for Trump)

• Christians

• Those who suffer from diseases like cancer

Read again, paragraph 5, "Folks, America has always been shaped by inflection points..." to the end of that paragraph. Using these examples from history to urge an audience to follow that same example is...

• Evil Genius

• Reason and logic

  (logos)

• Getting People to Trust him (ethos)

• Appealing to our love of history (pathos)
