Task 6 or 7

1.- Pan African is a term that relates to people form all African countries and is usually used as a reference to the Pan Americanism, which is an ideology that tries to conceal the unity of the African country. This concept is important because it reaches to all people so they feel identified with this term, which unifies them.

2.-  idk3.- Thao Mbeki was deputy president when Mandela was the president of South Africa. He was the first chairperson-in-office of the Commonwealth of Nations. Mbeki reduced the unemployment of the population and raised the country's economy by 4.5% per year during his term.
4.-
Repetition: I have seen the corruption(...). I have seen concrete expression(...).  This repetition contrasts the idea he is trying to conceal. He is trying to show people hat he knows what is really going on.
Allusion: "(...) to remind ourselves of the Latin saying: Gloria est consequenda- Glory must be sought after. ". He not only advocates a phrase that makes him sound smart, but the phrase has the purpose to create a feeling on the people, by alluding a concrete famous phrase.
Metaphor (figurative speech): "My body has frozen in our frosts(...)". He is alluding to having lived through the weather of Africa.

Task 5 moodle

In this oral presentation, Vicente Gonzalez and I talked about the speech from the movie "We Are Soldiers". In this speech, The context and purpose of the speech is to prepare the soldiers psychologically to fight in one of  Vietnam War's most important battle of "la drang".

Throughout presentation we could also recognize the different techniques that were used, the context of the movie and how and where it was produced. For example there are some aspects that made this presentation sound the way it was supposed to be. First we used a type of tone that makes the presentation have a important and motivating structure, since the movie is about motivating soldiers for the war. Then we have the persuasive techniques and rhetorical devices that helps the audience to feel connected to the speech. But we also structured our presentation in a typical way, from an introduction to a conclusion. We did it like this because it helps the audience to follow the presentation at the same time we do. 

In conclusion I'd say that this presentation opened myself to a new way of presenting, by showing these techniques mentioned before. So this can actually help us in future presentations.

task 1 moodle

This ad from PEPSI shows us how pepsi is supposly better than Coke, the other can. In the image we can see a straw kind of separating instead of entering the Coke can. But then on the other side we have another straw entering without problems in the Pepsi can. The persuasive technique used here is clearly name-calling, since pepsi is trying to make coca-cola look bad, or at least look like pepsi is "better".

This ad has from Nike promotes the "speed" that you gain by wearing this shoes, and for this they use a cheetah, one of the fastest animals in the world. But this ad isn't really true, because shoes don't make you run faster, the only thing that could maybe make you run a little faster is the weight of the shoes. In this ad I would say that the technique used is Testimonial, since their is a famous animal (instead of a person) used to make us think we might "run like them".
