Churchill

Hello my friends,
So i have a confession. Thanks to my rhetorical analysis paper i now have an obsession with Winston Churchill. I have read about his accomplishments before this, but this is the first time i have studied his style of delivery.
They say that their are opposites in all things, light to dark, day to night. I think it is interesting that at such a tumultuous time their were two heads of state with two very different yet very effective style. Churchill was a solid speaker, while Hitler was very emotional. This is not to say that Churchhill had no passion. Quite the contrary he is full of pathos. But, Hitler had a distinctive style of pronounce hand gestures. Churchill is a "bulldog" style, while Hitler was more of a "peacock" style.

  1. Dude Churchill was the bomb. Except he kind of failed during WWI with Galipoli and all that. Although I suppose it wasn't really his fault. I sometimes wish people still spoke like Hitler just in everyday speeches. It would be so awesome to see someone work themselves up to some kind of fever of nationalistic emotion. Just sayin.
