Elie Wiesel crafted the beginning of his speech by entering with a sympathetic tone as his mentions his experience of the day the Americans had recused him to obtain the audience’s trust. However, he switches to a critical tone asks multiple rhetorical questions with answers in order to arise the audience curiosity of what the answer might be and mention America’s downside of their history in order to gain more credibility and to lean towards the topic of indifference.…
used rhetorical questions such as, “May it not also be that the cause of civilization itself will be defended by the skill and devotion of a few thousand airmen?” to give his audience the impression of the huge despair they are in. Churchill managed to use a couple of metaphor as, “storm of war” which resembles a normal storm to be war. Another example is “grip of the Gestapo” where the Gestapo were Hitler’s secret police and they captured anyone who was against Hitler so this metaphor resembles the enemy as the Hitler’s secret police. Alliteration as a whole causes a musical harmony such as, “flag or fail” and “subjugated and starving”. Now onto the last thing in “We shall fight on the beaches” is assonance. Assonance is the repetition of…

As we discussed in class, Winston Churchill has made many pivotal decisions that have resulted in failure. In January of 1915, he sent over 100 ships to set sail for one of the largest invasions, but it failed miserably. It resulted in the deaths of 56,000 allied troops and nearly 200,000 were either missing or injured. Churchill was ordered to resign but after a long break he returns to the government, stronger than ever. He never lost his enthusiasm even when he was asked to leave, and because of that he became even more successful. To go along with the historical significance of this quote, there is also an appreciable personal significance. This quote can be applied to anyone's life. It shows how everyone should persevere and never give up. Also that everyone should try their hardest and never lose faith, just as Churchill…
In his book Human Rights and Global Diversity, Robert Paul Churchill aims to identify and emphasize the universality of human rights, arguing that “human beings everywhere have the same human right” (Churchill xi). Churchill proposes that cross-cultural negotiations must be implemented to bridge the gap between cultural differences and gain international consensus of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). With respect to valuing the UDHR and promoting universal human rights regardless of culture, the best method of cross-cultural negotiation is the transformational strategy. This method would be the most successful because its broad use of human rights language allows for worldwide communication and participation, thus eliminating…

75 years ago, Winston Churchill had only been Prime minister of Great Britain for 5 weeks when he addressed a nation. Their Finest Hour was one of Churchill's most powerful speech.

"Be ye men of Valour", an awoken and motivation speech for Britain to stay strong in the early hours of World War II was coined by Sir Winston Churchill on May 1940, on BBC radio. Winston Churchill had then become the prime minister of Britain after Neville Chamberlain. The primary motive for this speech was to inform and alert British on the imminent and impending threat from Nazi Germany after the Dutch and French fell to Nazi rule. The speech also was meant to elaborate and praise some significant victories the Royal Navy and Airforce achieved during the "Battle of France" where allied forces lost drastically to Nazi Germany and as result reinforce, encourage and reassure British that they can only win the war if they stay and defend their…
At the end of June 1940 The Second World War defense of the United Kingdom by the Royal Air Force began against an onslaught by the German Air Force Luftwaffe. Also known as “The Battle of Britain”, The Battle of Britain has been described as the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces. The Battle of Britain also has an unusual distinction in that it gained its name prior to being fought. The name is derived from a famous speech delivered by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the House of Commons on June 18, more than three weeks prior to the generally accepted date for the start of the battle.The officially recognized dates are 10 July – 31 October 1940, overlapping with a period of large scale of attacks…
