Rhetorical Analysis

We just starting working on our rhetorical analysis papers. We have to choose a speech and then we have to go through and analyze the speech and how it did as far as appealing to the audience that it was directed to. The speech I chose was from the 2014 ESPY Awards when Stuart Scott was honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. He was dying from cancer at the time and passed away a few months later, but he managed to inspire and give hope to thousands of people before he passed away. His speech at the ESPY's was inspiring because he was dealing first hand with a tough challenge and he was still courageous enough to be positive and provide hope for other people in similar situations. I think it should be a pretty good paper to write because Stuart Scott was an influential journalist in sports and he had an interesting, inspiring life.
