rhetorical analysis of v's speech to London

Would you believe it if you read in the newspaper that a terrorist crime was committed in the United States for the benefit of the American people? Would you turn the other cheek and pretend as if nothing is happening around you? Knowing that your government wasnt the best, but you could go on pretending not to see it? Or would you be the one who opened your eyes to what was ACTUALLY going on around you? V[played by Hugo Weaving in the movie 'V for Vendetta'] saw this. He saw it happening right in front of the citizens of London. But did they listen? Would they finally see the reason behind V's "madness"?
In my opinion, the speech that was given to the people by V was attempting to tell them that they were being taken as fools and the government knew exactly what they were doing. It came down to V having to destroy the central criminal court[the Old Bailey]to get the peoples' attention. V was fighting a losing battle at the time. Trying to destroy the whole totalitarianist government. He first tells the people that he knows the government is ultimatly to blame. But, he also says that every person that allowed this to continue on was also to blame.
This speech was mostly a mixture of an evaluative and forensic argument. V even mentioned that "words offer means to meaning...and the enunciation of truth". That quote brings out the more forensic side of V's argument. But there is also a means to an end argument coming through to me in the speech when V tries to give reason behind the attacks. He explains that it has come to the point where this attack had to be done in order to solve the issue of London's government and regain the attention of the people. He is ultimately trying to open the eyes and minds of the people. For the evaluative side of this speech, he tells them "I know why you did it. I know you were afraid." He is telling him he truly understands why no one except himself really stepped up and tried to solve the issue. He understands that as humans, we normally are afraid to step up to fight for something when you think you're alone.
When it all comes down to it, the speech given by V was an eye opener not only for the people of London, it also opened my eyes and made me ask myself this question: would I stand up for something that was right, even if I was alone?Even if it meant going to great lengths to achieve justice? Would you?

knowledge, truth, & belief.

knowledge and truth go hand in hand to the human race. knowledge to us is based off of what we believe to be true. but can we be sure what we know is actually true? we base our truths off things we have heard and 'proven' that were then passed down by the people who lived before us. Truth is what you believe. if you believe that God is real, the average believer would want to seek and gain knowledge of Him and about his teachings[truths]. Thats one perspective. another perspective would be one of an atheist. atheists wouldn't want to seek knowledge and truths about a god if they dont BELIEVE in one. so lets break this down...the relationship between KNOWLEDGE, TRUTH, AND BELIEF is simply this: it is what you make it;your perspective on life.your truths are yours, no one elses. your knowledge has been achieved from those truths. and all is based on what you believe.

you have officially opened a can of worms that you will NEVER regret. :] you need to know a few things before you read any more of this. i am insane, i should be wearing a straight jacket in a roomwith pillows for walls. i am unlike any person out there. unique? i love making people laugh and laughing all the time. ask any one of my friends and theyll tell you. my life pretty much revolves around music. creating it. listening to it. analyzing it. music was my first love. one other thing about me is i will do anything for my friends. i would take a bullet for any one of them, and i know they would do the same. my niggas...they are my life and i love you all.

on a more serious note..this is where i came from and what ive been through. at the time of my birth, i was put up for adoption. luckily, i was only in foster care until i was four months old, at which time, i was adopted. can you guess who? yeah, my parents. lol my birth mother was heavy into drugs and alcohol, and my father...well, no one really knows. people ask if that has affected my life, the whole being adopted thing. :] and i can honestly say, no. yes, of course, i think about it occasionally, but its not a big deal. the way i see it is, the people who love and care for you are family. that love is thicker than blood and genes. that is my definition of family. that should be enough about me. oh wait? is this one of this cliche' blogs about my dreams and aspirations? well then. here it goes: when i get out of high school, i want to immediately attend college at LSU, majoring in Music Performance. i plan on getting married and all that wonderful crap. ahahaha oxy moron! i AM an english genius !! [que evil laugh] that does it for me. peace and chicken grease.
