With the Neo-Aristotelian Method of Criticism, one best understands it.
The feminist criticism is not an adequate method of criticism first and foremost because the main objective of this speech is not directed towards the feminist movement. The aim of this speech is not to get close to the female voters, but to rally the entire population of Virginia by showing how important this state is in electing Obama. The message is thus for the entire population, not only for the females and the feminists in the audience.
There are, however, some elements that may argue in favor of the feminist criticism, one of them being the fact that the topic of the speech revolves around women, namely the one that brings him to Greenwood and the one that has the slogan that becomes a rally cry for his final campaign in Virginia. This is not enough, though, to support the argument that this is the best method for criticism that can be used in this case.

The speech is about rallying people in Virginia before the final vote, not about rallying female voteres. At the same time, the speech is about an experience aimed to show a political candidate willing to go even to Greenwood in order to be in touch with his voters and the commitments he is thus willing to make.
The Neo-Aristotelian Method of Criticism is thus much better adapted to bring out all the different necessary elements of Obama's rhetorical construction and to show to the reader or listener how Obama is able to use the different elements at hand in order to make an impact on the audience and to reach his political objectives. For this, the Neo-Aristotelian Method of Criticism is significantly more appropriate.

Audre Lorde’s “The Fourth of July”: A Rhetorical Analysis Audre Lorde’s experiences as a young girl traveling by train to Washington, D.C., a symbol of whiteness, and her first realization of the fact of racism and segregation in the Jim Crow era serve as the subject of her personal narrative. Lorde sets up the essay by identifying her innocence as a child and puts the reader into the shoes of the
semiotics and logic. These two traditions have frequently been used as the determiner of the precise meaning of even, argument or communication (Feldman, Skoldberg, & Brown, 2004). The piece named the White Blackbird is a depiction of Moore's grandmother in an exquisite way. Margaret Sergeant is a painter and socialite. The narrative is a moving account of Moore's search for his grandmother. Before the production of Moore's novel, Margaret
Richard Estrada: A rhetorical analysis of "Sticks and stones and sports teams" Richard Estrada's article "Sticks and stones and sports teams" tackles the issue of professional sports teams with potentially inflammatory names like the Washington Redskins and the Atlanta Braves. These teams have been called upon to change their names because their mascots are considered offensive to Native Americans. Estrada persuasively argues with forceful pathos, logos, and ethos that although the
He seems to know what he is talking about and thus takes the reader into his circle of light almost immediately. At one point he makes a very effective and impressive use of logos when he appeals to logic with statements like: "The content of the doctrine is: "Yes, in the past we did some wrong things because of innocence or inadvertence. But now that's all over, so let's
