Speech I most admire...

The speech I most admire would have to be Dr. Martin Luther King’s I have a dream speech. I felt that he influenced in each category of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade others but I felt it was the most powerful in ethos, because of the ability to arouse emotions. Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech was very powerful and emotional because he spoke of a sensitive subject to many people. Dr. Martin Luther King spoke with confidence and his speech was very carefully planned and to the point.  Through pathos and being emotionally involved he was able to relate to his audience. I think my qualities of persuasiveness are similar in the fact that when I’m speaking about something I’m passionate about, I speak with the same confidence, which is a very persuasive quality.
