Obama has a compelling personality. His speech reflected that beautifully: the man, his knowledge, his vision.

But it would be great if you did´t just explain how to write a speech but how to analyse it.

I have never read such an impressive and meaningfull speech. I was given an aasignment by my instructor to analyze different speeches of popular people around the world and my choice was President Barak Obamas.
However, I couldn’t find any shortcoming in the speech. Good bless him so many so many times.

Where to begin…
This is a suberb speech analysis, almost a complete speech writing course.

For me, the word pictures are amazing:
“rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace”
“we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist”
Fantastic, easy to understand and the words apply to all of us.
His speech gives us the thing that we all look for… hope, the thing that we all need.

The verbal snapshot is very clever, how is it done?
