Vice President Elect Harris’s speech was filled with pathos, ethos and logos. What stood out to me the most was her use of pathos, which is fitting for the type of speech she is giving. She recites personal stories of both President Elect’s life stories, but her own upbringing as well. She spoke about women who have been fighting for a century to be represented properly, especially women of color. Her speech was uplifting in a time where this positivity is lacking in politics. She ended her speech before introducing President Elect Biden by addressing the young women in the crowd, giving them confidence for their representation in the future.
President
Elect Biden entered the stage running, with an air of confidence and pride as
he approaches the podium addressing his “fellow Americans”. He immediately
starts calling people out in the crowd, some personal relationships and some
professional. He then steps right into the voter count, and pledges to be a
President that will provide a positive future for the United States. He covers
all of the elements of argument very rapidly and makes sure to address every group
within the United States. He continues to draw parallels, contrasts current administrations
and addresses the audience’s reason. He proves that he is confident that he is
up for the challenge that his Presidential term is bound to have.I believe they tried to reach out to anyone watching who did not vote for him as well as those who did. I do not know how well received his speech was with voters who did not vote for him, but this could simply be due to just how divided the United States is currently. I do believe they achieved communicating their ideal vision and portrayed hope for the future. Hopefully in four years no matter which side you’re on, we are more united and in a better place than we are.
