Diction, Tone and Figurative Language

Wangari uses the tone of her voice and writing to put things across.  She wrote her Nobel Peace Prize speech for that moment, and uses language that she knows will affect people at the moment.  Her speech probably wouldn't be as great if she were to just say it at any time but the way she says it is perfect.  She uses a lot of imagery and allusions to show people how she feels about this.  She has a way to make you believe what she is saying is true.  That to me, is a correct rhetorical analysis.

Nobel Piece Prize Thesis

People in Africa need to start becoming more independent instead of being dependent on other Nations.  Also, the women in Africa need better economic situations of Women.  One women giving a Nobel Peace Prize is not enough, more people need to join and help.

Audience and Context Worksheet

For our blog post tonight we are supposed to write on what articles we are reading in the Globalization book.  Ironically, the article that I am doing was the one we analyzed today.  I promise I didn't copy ;)
So the article's title that I am looking into is called The Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech.  It is about the first African lady to be awarded the Nobel peace prize.  She got it because she wanted to improve the economic situation for women in Africa.  She lives in Kenya, Africa and she did this in response to the depletion of environmental resources in her area like trees, water, etc.  I am proud of her for doing this in response to her concern for her country.  A few setbacks could be money problems, and also that the African nation is becoming too dependent on other nations.  I am proud of her because she is making a difference.  He Audience is everyone.  Her people.  The government.  Americans.  Anyone and anybody that would like to help her.  I look up to her.
