OCR GCSE English: Obama Speeches

Well analysing speeches usually just means finding out what makes them persuasive so things like repetition, tri-colons (or clusters of 3) short sentences blah blah blah

In your introduction just say the tone of the speech, what he was trying to achieve and how his techniques are reflected changing on what he is trying to persuade people to do. For example, a speech trying to get politicians to agree to start a nuclear war would be different than trying to persuade people to vote for him.

Oh and empathy works too. If the speech makes it sound like it'd be good to do what he wants but bad if they disagree helps. So that's why politicians name things like ' no child left behind' because if you disagree you look like a bitch.
