Can I have a quick summery of why he opposed the war? I don't want to have to read the whole speech. I need some good quotes from him. I'm suppose to "discuss and analyze the rhetoric and persuasive languages used by the king." What does that mean? What am I looking for?


Please be nice. :) Remember the Golden Rule and we will all be ok. Sorry for those of you that this does not apply to. Thank you everyone for your help. It is much appricated.

Andrea/Cora -- since you're in AP English, you must read the entire speech.

Sorry -- you said you're in AP history. You should still read the entire speech.

My sister is Andrea, I'm Cora. And This is for English. Not history. And my sister is in AP History, not me. And yeah I did go back to skim the speech. I really still don't know why he opposed the war except that he was for nonvolient acts.

Isn't opposition to nonviolence enough?

Oops -- Opposition to VIOLENCE is enough to oppose any war.

He pretty much followed Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi who wanted to gain freedom without any sort of violence.

Certainly! I'll be happy to help you with that.

To summarize why the person opposed the war, we would need more specific information about who "he" is. It could refer to various historical figures, activists, or politicians. Please provide more context so that I can give you a more accurate response.

Regarding your question about discussing and analyzing the rhetoric and persuasive language used by someone (such as a king), it means you are expected to critically examine and evaluate the methods, techniques, and strategies that the person used to persuade their audience. This may involve examining their use of language, tone, emotions, logic, and appeals to authority or values.

When looking for quotes, you should focus on statements or passages where the person made persuasive arguments or skillfully employed rhetorical devices. These could include powerful metaphors, emotional appeals, logical arguments, or any other means by which they seek to convince their audience of their viewpoint.

Remember to support your analysis by providing specific examples from the text or speech. This will help you demonstrate how the person used language effectively or successfully conveyed their message to the audience.

If you provide more information about the person opposing the war, I can assist you in finding specific quotes or examples to support your analysis.
