Directly talking to an individual “i have already told you yesterday what i had to say.” This makes the speech more direct towards the Indian people, his followers and the protesters.

The speech uses pathos, and talks about our feelings, but there is also some ethos, because the right thing to do is to fight with gandhi.

The speech begins and ends with Ghandi stating that he knows he is going to be arrested the next morning and this will be his last words to his followers.

An opposition in the speec is that Gandhi talks a lot about freedom, and getting freedom in a peaceful way. The peaceful protest might not be that peaceful, since they are breaking British law. when breaking the law, police can use violence and throw them in prison.

There are two types of receivers.

1. The first receiver is the people of india. The people of India were directly affected by this matter, and therefore its a sign of hope for the Indian people.

2. The second receiver is people outside India and around the world. Gandhi is a sign of hope for the people fighting for the right reasons like peace. Gandhi is a symbol of hope for many people that are going through struggles, and is a big part of world history.

Gandhi was an Indian lawyer who led his country to freedom from British colonial rule, this achievement, amongst others, made him very biased towards the people, and it shows in his speech where he often says words like "our" and "the government". This implies a strong feeling of segregation between the people and the ruling government in India. Gandhi was a strong believer in nonviolent solutions to problems, even though he refers to the nonviolent ways of living, he fears the violence of the government and the people in doubt. this can be seen in the first three lines where he says "In al! probability this will be my last speech to you. Even If the government allow me to march tomorrow morning, this will be my last speech on the sacred banks of the Sabarmati . Possibly these may be the last words of my life here".

Through the quotation “We have resolved to utilize alI our resources in the pursuit of an exclusively non-violent struggle” (L 11-12 P. 1) we can see the difference sides, in how Gandhi speaks to his followers, using words such as “We” and “Our” gives a sense of unity, and therefore creates an enemy.
Through the quotation “The purchasers of such salt will be equally guilty.” (L 5-6 P. 2) Using the word “guilty”, gives us an idea of what Gandhi thought was right or wrong, what side is right or wrong, and it shows how he tried to justify his and his comrades’ actions.

The message of the speech is that his followers should keep protesting for their rights and needs. Salt is a basic human necessity and the Indians have a right to produce it. Gandhi tells his followers that they should march down to the sea and produce their own salt. The protest was called satyagraha. The things that he encourages his followers to do ends him and many of the followers in jail but that does not stop the fight.

“But let there be not a semblance of breach of peace even after alI of us have been arrested (p.1 l.10-11)”

In conclusion, the message is that the Indians need to keep practicing Satyagraha, whilst Gandhi goes to prison, in order for them to free themselves from British rule.

“I shall eagerly awaft the news that ten batches are ready as soon as my batch is arrested.” (p. 3 l.2-3)

Mahatma Gandhi begins the speech by saying “In all probability this will be my last speech to you” He starts by letting the listeners know that Gandhi and his companions most likely will be arrested in the march. He also states “this will probably be the last words of my life” which confirms his engagement in the course.
