Thierno Diallo- Week 9

When writing this essay, my focus was mainly on highlighting the way John Boyega used rhetorical devices to succeed in delivering his message with his speech. The thing that drew me to this speech was the reasoning behind the speech. The black lives matter movement is something that inspires me to more for the black community. So, for this speech to be a huge inspiration to all black lives is the main factor as to why I wrote on this speech. A few things in writing this essay was easy for me. Some of those thing were explaining the reason to why the rhetorical devices a talked about were valid in speech, giving a summary of the speech at the beginning of my essay, and putting everything together in the hand. The hardest part for me while writing this essay was analyzing the video and trying to listen all at once to determine what those rhetorical devices were. My understanding of the speech elevated because while analyzing it I was focused on small things such as body language, tone changes and the setting of the speech. All those played into what made the speech as meaningful as it was. I would like the reader of this essay to keep in mind that this essay is something that is talks about something that weighs heavy on many people. The importance 0f this speech is something that travels throughout the entire world. I would give this essay the grade of a B+ because I did a good job of explaining why I chose the rhetorical devices that I’ve chosen. However,  after reading it over I realized that I could’ve added more rhetorical devices that were used in Boyega’s speech.
