How to create a Speech.

What do you want people to know?
What do you want them to hear?
What do you want them to come away with when your finished?

Arisotle the greek philosopher came up with Rehotircal phrases of speech and question.

Logos- Logical. A follows B follows C.
Ethos- Trust. Do I really believe this person and what they are saying?
Pathos- Emotion, how I feel about these things, why they matter to me?
Those three make a great speech.

Examples.

Colonel Tim Collins from the Irish regiment gave speech in March 2003, he gave a speech about going into war with Iraq. He told them to be feriocous in battle but unanimous in death.

He used three points of aristotles oratry
Logos- Explaining what would happen to them in battle.
Ethos- Appealing to them as comrades and colleagues and friends trying to get them on side and gain their trust.
Pathos – Symbols the use of imagery, trying to elicit an emotional response, a call to bravery and patriotism and decency.

Best man speeches are probably the only speech a normal man will ever do. No matter what is said it can be forgotten in a haze of champagne bubbles. But politcs and people in the public eye are not the same. Any word that comes out of there mouth can ruin their image and can be a life or death situation in their social standings.

Victorian politcians, like Gladstone and Disreali were great orators, they used tatics from Shakespeare and The Bible and parcticed vigourously the skills of Rehtoric.
