Michelle Obama begins her speech with thanks to everyone
there then a special thanks to Elaine Brye the mother of four children one in
each branch of the military that also spoke in the Convention. The first thing she addresses is the hero’s
she has seen in her travels across the United States. She assumes her viewers are the same type of
Americans she has met on her journey so far.
Her purpose is to relate to the average American in order to do that she
begins comparing her and Barack’s upbringing to something average Americans
understand. She also appeals to the
family’s by expressing their parents efforts to provide the “American dream” to
their children. In her speech she
addresses all the values that their parents taught them growing up like
honesty, integrity, gratitude, and humility.
She does all of this so that people feel like they understand what type
of a person Barack is what kind of things he wants for the people of the United
States. She refutes her arguments with
things Barack has done so far in his presidency. Such as the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, to
creating jobs again, education, and Healthcare.
She ends her speech on a long buildup of relating to as many people as
she can and pushes people to vote for Barack so that we may continue to keep
moving this country forward.
Over all I believe her speech is effective because she
clearly explains her position in a way people most people can connect to.
I am agreed that she wants to relate to average American,and one way that she does that is she addressed her speech to variety groups of people. This makes the speech very effective because more audience means, more followers, and the speech would be more effective. She specially used the word “everyone” several times in her speech which emphasizes this strategy in her speech. Also, her speech is completely appeals to emotion. All her subjects are emotional like family, love, personal values, and etc. Her speech’s structure is more complex than Anna’s speech. The boundary lines between her introduction, body paragraph and her conclusion are not easy recognizable.
