Yes We Can

          In Barack Obama's speech he used repeatedly used repitition and parallelism in pairs of 3 which resulted a pathos effect because the crowd was roaring with positivity. Obama also used a mixture of ethos and allusion because he made references to historical figures to make his speech stronger. His catchphrase is, "Yes We Can." basically the whole speech consisted of speaking, and the crowd cheering. It was pretty boring because the speech wasn't meant for us, it's made for people of politics, democratives and adults 18+. Will.i.am's music video was much more lively. During Obama's speech, everybody was bored but with Will.i.am's video everybody was attentive. We were more attentive because our young generation consists of visual arts and music which this video had. Plus the video didn't stay on just one shot, there were many celebrities present too, capturing more of our attention thus making us more attentive and waaaay less bored.
