The speeches made by Michelle Obama and Ann Romney were very
much alike, but they had a few differences.
In the end, both of these women have the same goal in mind and that is
to get their husbands as much support as possible. Both ladies did a wonderful job of bringing
emotional appeal to their speeches and including numerous examples of pathos. The speeches were very similar in the ways
that both ladies talked about the importance of family. Ann Romney focused more on the effect women
have on society and how important it is to be a good mother. At one point she said that women hold the
country together. Michelle Obama on the
other hand focused more on family as a whole.
She spoke about how your past can influence your future, but only you
determine whether it’s a good or bad outcome.
She states that even if you don’t start out with much, you can work hard
and build a decent life for yourself, and an even better life for your
kids. Both ladies included a few
examples of logos relating to their own lives, and only a couple examples of
ethos. Considering the speech they were
giving and who they were addressing, more emotional appeal is necessary in
order to capture the attention of your audience. Watching the two of these videos makes it
very hard to critique them without putting your own political opinion into
it. I tried watching the two speeches
with an open mind, but it still makes it difficult to compare the two videos
without choosing one that you prefer more.
The audience reactions actually make a huge impact on how I viewed the
two speeches. It was very interesting to
see which speech got more credibility from the audience, and which parts of the
speeches were appealing to them.
Emotional appeal is probably the most important thing in speeches like
the two of these, and both women definitely did a good job in grabbing the
attention of the audience. They both
made very good speeches, and it ends up coming down to personal opinions as to
which one you preferred.
