In this activity, you'll answer a series of questions analyzing a speech by either John F. Kennedy or Barack Obama. You'll use the same analysis skills you normally would in an essay, but you'll compose short answers instead of a longer piece of writing. Analyzing speeches is a little different from analyzing textual works because you get to consider how the speaker's body language, tone of voice, timing, and other strategies affect the overall impact. This writing assignment will focus on the following skills:
Identifying a speech's main point
Analyzing rhetorical appeals and use of evidence
Assessing whether a speech's reasoning is valid
Write a short answer for each question.
1. What is the speaker's point of view or perspective? What is he trying to convince his audience to believe? What does he want them to do? How do you know?

2. How does the speaker use evidence to support his position? Why do you think he chose this evidence?

3. What rhetorical techniques does the speaker use, such as appeals to emotion, logic and common sense, or authority and moral character? What about nonverbal communication, such as gestures, eye contact, or facial expressions? What are some examples of these rhetorical techniques?

4 . What are some of the argument's weaknesses? Do these weaknesses involve logical fallacies, misuse of evidence, lack of evidence, poor consideration of the needs of the audience, or something else? What are some examples?

5. Based on your analysis of the main point, evidence, rhetorical appeals, and weaknesses of the speech, write a paragraph offering your balanced assessment of the speech as a whole.

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
