Rhetorical Analysis of Obama’s Victory Speech

On November 6^th, 2012, Barack Obama was re-elected as president of the U.S. The following day, Barack Obama held his victory speech. This paper will analyze and comment on an excerpt of that particular victory speech and the key focus of the analysis will be on the rhetorical effects of the speech.

By using many forms of rhetorical tools like Anaphora or Tautology, President Barack Obama manages to give a speech that is full of American ideas of life, like the American Promise, the American Dream and the future. The speech is very similar to the one he did in 2008 at the Democratic Convention, and contains many form of repetition and “between the lines” political views. [Læs mere…]

Alle Kan Ro

”Da jeg stillede mig ved vinduet, havde jeg strejfet hendes knæ, og jeg havde ikke spor erfaring med de dele, men jeg vidste alligevel, at hun var død. Og den viden gjorde mig lykkelig.” (S. 63 l. 41-43) Dette er et citat fra ”Alle kan ro”, en novelle skrevet af Pia Juul i Politikens Magasin i 2008. Hovedpersonens største ønske og frygt, er at blive selvstændig uden nogen hjælp fra nogle – og opdagelsen af denne døde kvinde kan sætte gang i hendes nye selvstændige liv. Igennem denne litterære analyse vil jeg karakterisere personerne og historiens fortæller samt fokusere på temaet. [Læs mere…]
