Attitude and rhetoric.
Attitude is a very important aspect in speech. Attitude can be a way of thinking, and ones feelings toward something. What is even more significant is how some things are said. The way that things are said is rhetoric. Rhetoric has positive and negative side effects. For example a negative effect of rhetoric is saying something and the intended audience not understanding the intended meaning or point. The positive and negative effects will be reviewed using relative examples. Positive effects of rhetoric can emphasize a point being made, and it can even exhibit emotions or feelings on that point. One instance where my rhetoric had a positive effect was when I called my boyfriend and he immediately answered the phone and said, " I'm getting cleaned up." I called him back and told him that he must have me mistaken with another female because I had no idea what he was talking about. I was wondering why and for whom he was getting cleaned up for. The tone of voice that I used was very stern. I spoke with a lot of anger in my voice. I recall yelling and almost crying trying to ask him to explain himself. He could tell from my rhetoric how upset I was. He quickly apologized and explained himself. The positive effects from my actions and my rhetoric were that he was able to see how upset I was and realize his faults and reconcile the situation. Rhetoric also has negative side
From your reading of Shakespeare “Henry V” and of Sir Keith Feiling’s historical account. What do you think are the aims and effects of Shakespeare's potrayal of Henry?
Henry V FROM YOUR READING OF SHAKESPEARE "HENRY V" AND OF SIR KEITH FEILING'S HISTORICAL ACCOUNT. WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE AIMS AND EFFECTS OF SHAKESPEARE'S POTRAYAL OF HENRY? William Shakespeare wrote Henry V in 1598, about 170 years after king Henry V reigned. Shakespeare's play is about how King Henry made a claim to the French throne. Shakespeare's written and based his play on the main event of the 15th Century; which was the Battle of Agnicourt in 1415. The play includes the Hundred Years War (1337-1453) - between France and England, and is based on real characters and other events of the early 15th Century, but using imagination. Sir Keith Feiling wrote A History of England: First Edition 1950, this text shows the real events that occurred in King Henry's life. This shows that both of these are well over 400 years apart. Shakespeare's text was designed to entertain an audience in a theatre, whereas Feiling's is an historical account, so it is factual. Shakespeare as usual would have based his ideas on historical sources, like Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland by Ralph Holinshed, first published in 1577. But then used his artistic freedom to create something very fictional. The play opens with a Prologue spoken by the Chorus. The Chorus was used in classical Greek drama to comment on the action and usually consisted of a group of actors. In this play, one

Aeschylus' Agamemnon does not show men in a good light. To what extent do you agree with this statement? The men in this play are Agamemnon, Aegisthus; the chorus made up by the elders left behind from Troy, the watchman and a leader. The chorus have the biggest role out of the men during the play, as important as they are for acting as *********** Agamemnon is possibly the most important character before Clytemnestra. However he does not show himself for very long as dies before the end. Agamemnon is introduced through the chorus, straight away he is portrayed as impulsive, loyal (but only to his oaths), and not hugely sincere. The first we know about him is that he murdered his daughter, just so he could go to war and bring back his brother's wife who had run away with another man. From this our first impression of the man are unpleasant, Aeschylus has managed to already condemn us against Agamemnon before we even meet him. When he does come on stage he does not improve himself. He shows no compassion to his wife displaying no emotion as husband, especially one who had been away for ten years. His character profile deteriates further as we see his easy manipulation by Clytemnestra who encourages to act hubristic and walk across sacred red carpet. He shows his aragance and pride, and weakness. The watchman who opens the play shows himself to be quite pathetic.
Henry V Coursework
Natalie Baynham Did Henry marry Katherine out of duty or love? Explore the events and language of the play and Shakespeare's portrayal of Henry's character to form your own interpretation of how the ending should be performed Henry V is a play of many themes and emotions, such as patriotism, bravery and desire. It takes a young, naïve man through a journey that moulds him into a brave and noble King, after his father's death. This young man is Henry V who struggles to prove himself as a worthy King and discovers that there are some who will simply betray him. Many battles are portrayed in the play, such as the Battle of Agincourt and the battle at Harfleur, in which the English are victorious. Henry processes are vast passion and desire to conquer France as he lays claims to certain parts of France, based on his distant roots in the French royal family and on a very technical interpretation of ancient land laws. With the support of the English noblemen and clergy the English set off to conquer France much to the disgust of the French, especially the Dauphin. However, despite the out-numbering of English soldiers at Agincourt the French surrendered and the English were triumphant. Following, peace negotiations between France and England are met involving Henry marrying the King of France's daughter Katherine, which will unite the two Kingdoms and Henrys son, shall become
