Influential Leaders.Churchill & Hitler


Both Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill were very strong yet influential leaders who managed to convince people through their famous speeches.Though the speeches they used regarding the World War 1 was long,it has managed to capture the attention of many and surely,influenced thousands and millions of their intention on the war.

Basically, it can be seen in the style of structure in their speeches. The main thing that to be noticed is the usage of pronoun, I. This indicates the authority of the leader when delivering the speech. Though they do not sound demanding in their voice, the word usage has definitely brought into a lot of meaning to the audience who were taken aback . Other than that,both,Churchill and Hitler were using facts to show how bad the opposing nation are to get the people's support in the war. This provocation definitely worked as this has given the people some anger over the issue. As for Churchill,he uses the strategy by giving appraisal to give more boost towards the eagerness of the war. He made sure he tells about how much the army have sacrificed for the nation.In my opinion,it was merely to get sympathy through the audience. While Hitler on the other hand, he tells about the misfortune that his nation has went through and also includes about issue around the world as to give awareness to the people to act fast. These both leaders have prepared their speeches very well with a persuasive speech to get the people's support and they did manage to do so.Though this speeches could be spontaneous,they have made sure that their main points and issues are delivered well.
