Q1. the speaker's veiw-point is that of someone attempting to show others the good in america and medical corps. the speakers claim is that america is not a country that ignores the suffering of others and that medical corps is getting their hands dirty and others.q2. the reasons the speaker provides are that the americas are often thought of as uncaring or nonchalant in times of crisis. not only that, but that we often take for granted to work of the medical corps.q3.the evidence the speaker provides are that of george washington williams, who was an american. and the thousands of americans who grouped together to aid those in need. not only that, but also how the medical corps are trying their very best to those in africa and many other parts of the world.q4. he states that often the americans tend to get lazy, and feel sorry for are self because we think we have less than we once had. he responds to this by stating work we have done, and those we have to prove the americans are not the selfish and ignorant beings we seem to be.q5. the speaker uses pathos by starting the speech out with a statement about the crippled children of africa, this creates a solemn, melancholy feeling before giving stern and stable facts. the feeling of sadness makes the information seem strong and hopeful.q6. his evidence was strong, but his vocabulary was exaggerated and distorted in certain areas throughout the speech. (example: roughshod -used in the beginning-, means shoes with nailheads projecting out of them).q7. i believe the evidence used in this speech was valid. i believe it was valid because it gave myself a sense that the americans do good. not only that but it also legitimately informed me of the medical corps, their part played and achievements as well. due to these circumstances i fully believe the speech was correct and convincing.and again, i'm tired but i really tried my best.

It shows he knows real life experiences and how people live on these harsh conditions
