Not the same as persuasive speeches, the writer is not necessarily trying to change your opinion

Writer will relate a small story from his or her personal experience

-Logos: clear, reasonable arguments, facts and statistics and quoting experts in the field are all ways of establishing a logical appeal.

-Pathos: emotive language and imagery are ways of helping the audience empathise with the feelings of other – often vulnerable – people.

-Persuasive: the speaker attempts to make his or her listener think in a certain way, believe something or take action.

-Direct address: the speaker tries to draw closer to the listeners by addressing them as ‘you’ – look out for the use of ‘we’ or‘us’ to include the speaker and listener on the same side – and be wary of attempts to compliment the listener.

-Modality: modal verbs are small but important words (such as ‘must’, ‘need’, ‘should’, ‘might,’ and so on) that reveal the speaker’s degree of certainty and strength of feeling.

-Rhetorical devices: all kinds of rhythmical, structural, auditory and linguistic tricks can be employed by a skilled speaker. They are too many to list here, but rhetorical strategies can be studied and learned.

-Logical Fallacies: also called ‘argumentation fallacies.’ Common fallacies in speeches are glittering generalisations, platonic statements, simplification and slippery slope.

Characterization: The means by which writers present and reveal character. Although techniques of characterization

are complex, writers typically reveal characters through their speech, dress, manner, and actions.

Comic relief: The use of a comic scene to interrupt a succession of intensely tragic dramatic moments. The comedy of scenes offering comic relief typically parallels the tragic action that the scenes interrupt. Comic relief is lacking in Greek tragedy, but occurs regularly in Shakespeare's tragedies.

Diction: The selection of words in a literary work. A work's diction forms one of its centrally important literary elements, as writers use words to convey action, reveal character, imply attitudes, identify

themes, and suggest values. We can speak of the diction particular to a character, as in Iago's and Desdemona's very different ways of speaking in Othello.

Dramatic irony: Where the audience or reader is aware of something important, of which the characters in the story are not aware. Macbeth responds with disbelief when the weird sisters call him Thane of Cawdor; ironically, unbeknownst to him, he had been granted that title by king
