"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers." (St.Crispin’s Day Speech). Persuasive speeches can motivate and rally up people in all situations. In this particular scenario, King Henry, in Shakespeare's Henry V, reassures his troops with the St.Crispin’s Day Speech. It shares many universal appeals and techniques with General George Patton’s speech to the Third Army, such as sense of roots, status, and worth and for techniques they have focus and recall in common. Both speeches occurred in front of an audience of military men and were directed to motivate them to fight and be strong in war. St.Crispin's Day Speech was given prior to the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 and Patton’s Speech was delivered on June 5th, 1944 on the eve of the Allied invasion of France. Although both speeches have hundreds of years in between them, they show similar persuasive approaches showing importance to them. It is valuable for an audience to feel a certain way rather than think a certain way so the speaker will try to accomplish this to produce an effective speech. The twos speeches do this by projecting a number of universal appeals and techniques. Because these two speeches are so alike, they show similar traits of persuasive appeals and techniques to each other. St. Crispin’s Speech employs a sense of roots throughout by connecting the mass of people to their friends and community. Sense of roots is when the speaker makes the audience feel connected to the community, their family and friends. It is also aimed to make them feel connected to the past through traditions, rituals, and having association with long established organizations. In Saint Crispin’s speech, King Henry refers to his troops as “my cousin Westmoreland... my fair cousin” (St.Crispin's Day Speech). It connects him to the audience by blood because the audience is referred to as his family. Not only does it connect King Henry and the troops but the whole army because if they are all cousins to the king, then they are all second cousins to one another. Henry also thickens the reference and connection by referring them as brothers. This is a deeper connection because brothers are directly related and share a brotherly connection. The speech references blood by saying “for he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother” (St.Crispin's Day Speech). They had fought together and the ones who were brave enough to risk their life for their country and friend fighting beside them, he considers his brother. Because this speech motivated the army to fight in combat, most of the troops were willing to risk everything for the protection of their loved ones. Not only is this persuasive appeal evident in St.Crispin's Day Speech but also in General George Patton’s Speech to the Third Army. Although they are slightly altered from one another in the way they are presented, the main focus and aim they are trying to get across to their audience is the same. In the Speech to the Third Army, George Patton is trying to get the gathering to grasp the fact that an army is a team in more ways than one. They “sleep, eat, and fight as a team” and no one is on their own (General George Patton’s Speech to the Third Army). They are all connected because they do everything together and that, in a way, binds them into one being. Not only that, but also, they all needed each other. Because they were part of a team, they needed “team effort [and] without them, the fight would have been lost” (General George Patton’s Speech to the Third Army). They were a long, unbreakable chain because all of their efforts and inputs to the team, created a domino-like effect resulting in thi
