JUSTIFICATION

Persuasion is indeed a troublesome task, with all the people getting wiser each day. Persuasion is best displayed in speeches, especially those that involve a highly significant subject.
I even have trouble writing a persuasive speech last semester that's why I just settled for an informative speech.
But actually it's not just about how you present your ideas but how well your audience can manage it.
According to griffin, the question really is...

How do you move an audience without changing your message or losing your integrity?

Aristotle has longed been faced with such a question, and he justified it in his theory.

His theory, Rhetoric, has threefold classification of speech situations according to the nature of the audience shows that he had affairs of state of mind. He calls this the Rhetorical Proof: logos, ethos, pathos(Griffin).

Aristotle's theory was exemplified in Bonifacio's speech, “Fight for Freedom and Honor”.

In Bonifacio's speech it follows the two forms of logical proof: the enthymeme and the example.

The first lines talks about the irony between the Filipino army and Spanish army. The
enthymeme was embedded within the texts but was not really mentioned in a particular part in the speech. But there was a major premise in the first part which is the irony of bravery between Spanish and Filipino armies.
Then it was followed by examples of a more specific event that justifies the major premise; which was the accounts of the Spaniards' cruelty and torture. It was express in a very reasonable manner.
In the last part it showed a realization of what values Filipino men should carry during battle. And they should be able to identify what they are fighting for.

Aside from logical proofs the speech also showed ethical proofs.

But the more conspicuous proof used in the speech was the emotional proof.

It was evident in Bonifacio's narration of the Spaniards' cruelty against Filipinos. Bonifacio described the Spaniards wayward use of power against defenseless citizens of the Philippines. Bonifacio was emphasizing that the Spaniards has done enough cruelty for them to endure. And enough for them to be motivated to fight for our country.

I particularly chose this speech because it has shown a unique sense of patriotism.

If I were to choose what theory is the best, it would be Aristotle's.
