Johnson gave this speech to the United States Congress. Johnson probably had to keep in mind that at that time, a good portion of the population of Congress were xenophobic and didn't want change. Because of this audience, he had to use real life situations to help open the eyes of those congressmen.

Johnson wrote this speech so that the Voting Rights Act of 1965 could be passed. Lyndon B. Johnson reached his full purpose because the bill was passed, and African Americans were given the right to vote no matter what.]]> 2017-08-31 00:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/183838743 iesho https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/183840174 1. Repetition
2. Rule of Three
3.

For example, when he says, "So it was at Lexington and Concord. So it was a century ago at Appomattox. So it was last week in Selma, Alabama," the "so it" parts  repeat three times. They way he used this phrase multiple times allows the reader/ listener to really wrap their head around what is being said. It allows the words to go into our minds and really help us understand what he is saying.]]> 2017-08-31 16:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184012418 pcrane1 https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184013177 Towards the end of his speech, Johnson uses rule of three when he says the words, "These are the enemies—poverty, ignorance, disease—they are our enemies, not our fellow man, not our neighbor," he says the words poverty, ignorance, and disease in a sequence of three. He uses rule of three a good bit and it really has an impact on the way we hear the speech. It allows the reader/listener to remember these words in a way that they will cherish in their hearts. ]]> 2017-08-31 16:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184013177 iesho https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184112621 Johnson uses plain-folks when he speaks about the "dignity of man." When Johnson says this quote, "I speak tonight for the dignity of man and the destiny of democracy," he shows that he is speaking for everyone and is for everyone. He implies that he is not doing this for himself, but for the people of the USA. This allows to reader/listener to feel like they are part of his plan when really, he is the only one that will be signing the bill. ]]> 2017-09-01 00:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184112621 iesho https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184973187 2017-09-06 01:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/iesho/bxi4565ssfdo/wish/184973187
