Protests That Change Teh World – “Weapons Training” by Bruce Dawe, Charlie Chaplin’s Speech “the Great Dictator” and “Where Is the Love” by the Black Eyed Peas.

Good morning publishers of penguin. Today Im here to present three texts that I remember should be included into the anthology Protests that Changed the World Each of these texts sh ar similar context and ar the same in purpose. The power of a speech lies in its competency to persuade an auditory reek successfully. With this in mind the three texts which I believe stir shown great ability to as persuading consultations is The poem Weapons nurture by Bruce Dawe, Charlie Chaplins speech from The great dictator and the variant Where is the love by The Black eye Peas.Weapons Training is a piece of war verse line written by Burce Dawe in 1970. This poem is considered a dramatic soliloquy spoken by an aggressive and intimidating sergeant whos educational activity soldiers that are intimately to be sent off to war. Bruce Dawe has utilize rhetorical questions to encourage the reader or attendee to consider the message or viewpoint. The rhetorical questions what are you looking at? , What are you laughing at? , What are you going to do about it? ingestiond in Weapons Training are said in an aggressive tone, clearly used to boss around its audience.Love PoemSaying it in an aggressive tone provokes fear through the audience manipulating them into funding the use of weapons. Although it is an issue one might usu solelyy not pick to support, the fact that it is said in such an intimidating tone encourages the listener to support it due to the fear of what the consequences might be if they dont support what the speaker is promoting. The author too uses repetition of the word deceased this is clearly directed towards the soldiers in order to emphasise the officers message. This is a form of t individuallying the soldiers to despise, fear and listen to authority in order for them not to die needlessly.Repetition has also been to install fear into the audience as a modal value of turning them against weapons he is emphasizing the jolty reality of what ha ppens when weapons are used. The use of onomatopoeia in this poem like jailhouse and pitter-patter has the similar effect as the rhetorical questions. It creates a sense of imagery that is almost deathly and horrifying which is also incredibly intimidating towards its audience giving them an insight into how horrific the use of weapons can in truth be. It is clear that the authors goal was to convince the audience about the harsh cause of using weapons, which he has successfully achieved.The speech elicited immense support against the use of weapons and violence from the general public. Bruce Dawe has used this room of writing to effectively describe the sound of weaponry to show how the soldiers were existence turned into weapons themselves. The second text that I have chosen for this anthology is Charlie Chaplins speech from the Great Dictator. This speech comes from a satire comedy of Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler in which Charlie Chaplin has re-worded Hitlers speech and in stead of saying I all the time he uses we which completely changes the meaning of the speech. We all want to jock one another We all want to live by each others happiness We dont want to hate and despise one another this is a form of Inclusive language, which Charlie Chaplin has used in his speech, as its a very comely proficiency with a very influential meaning, which also allows the audience to feel included. Charlie Chaplin has also used the technique of accumulation Greed has poisoned mens souls, has close up the world with hate has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed this technique its considered to be a very powerful way to demonstrate what voracity has not hardly done to public but to this world.Repetition is used several(prenominal) times by the author of this speech in order to very get his message through to the audience. An vitrine of repetition is You people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness This is an effective wa y to persuade the audience as hes tone of sound is not demanding instead hes just showing hes point of view towards war and what its turning humans into. Where is the love by Black Eyed Peas is my last chosen text.This song is an anti-war anthem, in which they grieve a variety of worldwide problems and many issues are discussed. Negative images is the main criteria Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria is a fiction which stands out quite a lot in this song. It refers to how negative images in the media and society affect our youth today. The negativity is what influences young minds today, and is blamed as the result for many acts of crime by young people. The Black Eyed Peas use the repetition of the phrase where is the love? to emphasise the message they are trying to deliver through this song, which is asking the audience where the love has gone. It is vigorous known that repetition is a tool of manipulation, which is what they have tried to do through the lyrics. Las tly theres the use of rhyme. Rhyme is a technique that is used several times through out this song. An example is But if you only have love for your own race, then you only have space to discriminate and to discriminate only generates hate. The use of this rhyme in this song is to alert the audience about how strongly hate effects our world.It is referred to as an ongoing cycle, where if you only have adore and love for your own race, it automatically generates hate for the others. The aim of these lyrics is to highlight how the effects of hate in our world and the use of rhyme certainly emphasise the message. In my opinion these three texts are all very adequate for this future anthology Protests that change the world as the three texts have a great message and have all been effective when persuading its audience against the issue of war.
