Blog Post #2: Public Speech in Pop Culture Texts (Due 1/19)

Find a TV program or commercial, which includes the delivery of a speech.  Create a new post in your blog in which you examine what the speech is communicating through a Neo-Aristotelian perspective.

*What is the context?  Who is the audience for the speech?  What may be some of the audience expectations?
*Identify the five canons of rhetoric in the speech.
*What implications might the message of the speech have on viewers?

Be prepared to share your text and short analysis in the class.  Include a link to any online videos and/or transcript of the speech.
