Can someone explain what this means cause i only had to listen to "gettysburg" and "i had a dream" speech you have now read and listened to three speeches. choose any two of the speeches, and identify and evaluate the specific strategies used to persuade the audience. be specific and use textual evidence from the speeches as support. consider elements such as rhetorical devices, tone, emphasis, and pace. make sure to use three vocabulary words in your writing. your answer should be 2–3 paragraphs long. btw i don't need you to answer the question i just want to know what they mean

I take English, so you're in luck!

So what you have to do is choose between "The Battle of Gettysburg" or the "I Have a Dream" speech. Persuade means to "tell your personal opinion", so you have to tell the author's opinion on his/her topic as to what he/she's telling to you; you're the reader.

Textual evidence if another way of your teacher walking up to you saying "So what paragraph is that from?"

I usually respond back writing in my paper like this: "From paragraph , the author's point of view (or topic) is to ." I don't know what rhetorical devices are, but I think it means strategy to grab the reader in, maybe?

TONE is like talking to someone. As you read does the author seem to be protesting against something? Is he/she debating? etc.

EMPHASIS is the mood. Happy, sad, angry, excited, diligent, etc.

As for PACE, how fast or how slow. Just like tempo in music, how fast or slow it's played.

Use vocab, and write more than one paragraph. That should do it! :)

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted black people to be free so he made a speech and he named it "I have a dream" and it became famous. Abe Lincoln made a speech after the battle of Gettysburg and that became famous. 

Still need with this
