Calling people to action is something that Cesar Chavez did and he was good at it. His speech effectively calls people to action the most by giving the audience background information about his life; he also tells the reader what it was like being a farm worker. I do not believe Sojourner Truth, and Senator Barack Obama effectively called people to action the most. In Sojourner Truth speech she talks about how she is a woman. When Sojourner Truth talks about the fact that she is a woman, she uses repetition because she wants them to realize that there saying woman should get the treatment such as being helped into carriages and lifted over mud puddles. Therefore if she they say that then she wants the treatment that they say woman should have. In Senator Barack Obama’s speech he talks about he is the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. This helps support his argument because of the racist statements from Reverend Jeremiah Wright.

Therefore, he uses this to help his argument. But I still do not think that Barack Obama’s speech was strong enough to call people to action. I think Cesar Chavez’s speech was the best because of the facts he gave background information about himself such as, He was a Mexican farm worker of America. He also told the reader about how the farm workers live and their conditions. He states that the farm workers are treated unequal, such as being overworked and not getting the pay they deserve and it’s not fair to the farm worker’s and they were trying to boycott. They get treated equal and he also says the growers blame, them (the farm workers) for stiff they didn’t do. He states in the text “These are the sins of growers, not the farm workers”. He says “Today the growers are like a

    Chavez uses a passionate tone throughout the speech. He begins by demonstrating to the audience how "marches, strikes, and boycotts are not only weapons against the grower" but they are the only way to "avoid senseless violence".This shows the reader that despite the fact that there are many other options to convey your voice, the options that don't create violence are the logical options. This demonstrates his passion for avoiding violence by his efforts to persuade the audience that this options are the…

    Cesar was an activist and fought for the rights of people who were not given equal benefits. He was co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association in 1962. This allowed him to make a difference with farm workers and their families; for example, giving them health benefits, paying them in full amount, and also suggested health standards. This included rest periods, clean drinking water, hand washing stations, and protective clothing against pesticide exposure, which was a big issue and caused poisoning and even death. Chavez made it accessible for not only farm workers to have those benefits but also other illegal immigrants working inside the United States. It has progressively changed for the better but we still have problems today concerning equal rights. There are people out there working three jobs, paying for their needs, their families, and they are not given the same rights as others. This is a huge deal and it is not only illegal immigrants having this disadvantage but…

    Sojourner Truth in her speech, "Ain't I a Woman?" demonstrates that she's tired of inequality and fights for women's rights by having comebacks to the white men that don't think negro women like herself should have rights. In Malala Yousafika's interview, she views education as a gift and feels girl should also have the right to go to school. Both of these women feel women are as capable as men. Sojourner and Malala both express defiance against the law, show persistence for what they are fighting for, and fought morally for women's rights.…

    As the Chicano leader stated in his marvelous speech "Malnutrition among migrant workers' children is 10 times higher than the national rate.” this isn't fair. They should be able to have a childhood like every other Anglo or Non- Anglo kid. They shouldn't have to walk miles to buy food at ridiculously high prices and then carry nasty water from irrigation ditches to give their family. Chicano farm workers lived in horrible conditions, they lived in old shacks, under trees or in places near sewers they had vicious rats gnaw at them as they sleep. In Chavez’s speech he stated his own experience and how he felt rage, and was sad at the same time, those feelings gave him the guts to make a change for his country, but children still had to experience what he felt because he couldn’t change racial discrimination just by talking. He had to make speeches, make boycotts, strikes, and gather support from blacks and others who have felt what he has felt.…

    “Si se puede – It can be done!” was what Cesar Chavez said to the people. Many believed that it was impossible for Chavez to create a union for farm workers since others had failed. But others didn’t have a clear goal as Chavez did. He put the people first and he was for them. He provided housing for them and most staff including Chavez himself, got $7.50 a week for food and $5.00 for additional expenses (Doc. B). He recruited people to join the union and to make it a successful union. He was willingly getting money to get things done for others and that’s what a true leader is about!…

    Sojourner Truth’s speech at the Women’s Convention in 1851, was a very powerful, well written call to women to join together for their rights, as well as a convincing explanation of why she believes women deserve them. She gives quite clever arguments and intelligent use of rhetorical devices. In the beginning, Sojourner uses diction build a connection between her and the people listening, by using the word ‘children’. This may have been used intentionally to make them feel as they were listening to a motherly or kind, gentle, authority figure. By putting herself in a place of authority in a non- threatening manner, she made the audience more likely to trust and respect her arguments and opinion. Her first major argument is that as a woman,…

    The Cesar Chavez Foundation stated “8The first union contracts requiring rest periods, toilets in the fields, clean drinking water, hand washing facilities, banning discrimination in employment and sexual harassment of women workers, requiring protective clothing against pesticide exposure, prohibiting pesticide spraying while workers are in the fields and outlawing DDT and other dangerous pesticides (years before the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency acted).” Cesar Chavez helped make sure that migrant farm workers felt like their job was just as important as other people’s job and made sure that they were safe. Chavez also helped change the way migrant farmers worked and the efficiency that farmers get work done at. “Throughout his youth and into adulthood, Cesar traveled the migrant streams throughout California laboring in the fields, orchards and vineyards, where he was exposed to the hardships and injustices of farm worker life.” Cesar helped make changes to migrant farmers working rights because he had to face the hardships through his life that other farmers were facing. He didn’t get as much do as he would if he had the proper rest and wasn’t overworked. Cesar Chavez helped many farmers have a better…
