So I've been set an essay to write, of about 3000 words, entitled 'Democracy and Rhetoric' and have also been given a booklet with 9 speeches in it, ranging from Pericles funeral speech in 431BC to David Cameron's latest speech. I have been told I can write about anything I like, as long as it fits with the title, any ideas?!
'Democracy and Rhetoric' - What to write about?!
I have to express about myslef in 200 words, how i can wrtie it , i need help for this
Hi! If I got to choose a topic to write about, I could not think of a better topic than this. What is democracy? What is rhetoric?
Democracy is impossible without rhetoric, and rhetoric is inherent in democracy. If you know what these words mean, you will see how interesting this assignment is.
The first thing to do is write about each word so that you have a paragraph about each. Cite a source about the meaning of democracy, and cite another source about the meaning of rhetoric. Then, with these definitions in mind, start reading those speeches.
After each speech you read, write a paragraph that begins with a topic sentence.
