CRITICAL STUDY OF TEXTS
today we began talking about speeches etc.
we were talking about what makes a good speech. tlaked about techniques that sadat used in the first 1/3 of his speech, like appealing to audience, emotional appeal, banging in his message (peace) straight away and over and over.
in context, he spoke about the arab-israeli war, and was willing to go to israel to present this speech (israel was winning) and talked about what the cultures of islam, christianity and judaism had in common.
speeches are meant to be spoken, so ms read the speech to us instead of getting us to read them. this establishes a connection with the audience, in an attempt to bring the audience into the speaker's world, then learn something they did not know before.
it was a dodgy idea for sadat to go to jerusalem, and many people from boths ides disagreed, but he wished to go anyway. israel were very suspicious of him, so speaking of peace and religious references early in the speech as much as possible cleared him of suspicion. then talking of peace and referring to religious things, and tlaking about how loss and death mattered no matter what side they were on appealed to audience.
damn i cant really remember anything much else specific.
