This week in class, we read two great speeches, one a sermon, and one speech that united the colonist and made them America. The speech that I am talking about is by Benjamin Franklin, which he said in 1787, in the constitutional convention in Philadelphia, to all the delegates of the colonies, to spread the word of uniting. The whole point of this speech was to persuade unity, and spread the idea of becoming one united nation, and be free from England. The entire speech was done in a very serious matter, because Benjamin knew he needed everyone to agree with his idea or it wouldn't end up very well.
Benjamin Franklin had used just the right words to make the crowd agree with his ideas, and spread the news of unity of the colonies throughout. Benjamin Franklin had a very calm and reasonable tone because the topic was a serious matter, and needed every one's attention. Benjamin Frank's purpose of the speech was to unify the colonists, which he successfully did because they all agreed with his idea's at the end. I really enjoyed reading this speech because it doesn't have a overexaggerated tone, it was a logical tone and really got the listeners thinking that they must listen to him and fight for freedom and liberty.
