                                                  Speeches make useful related texts because their audience and purpose are very clearly defined. Many famous speeches do not fit the area of study, but if you are interested in this text-type, you could trawl through the internet for sites listing speeches.

                                                  Studying speeches is also a good way to learn about persuasive language. The techniques used to persuade a crowd of listening people can also be used to persuade your marker that your perspective on beloning is valid!

                                                  This is another page I'm still working on!


                                                  Truth, Sojourner. (19). “Ain’t I a woman”.  One of the first feminist speeches by a American Black woman to a mostly white audience.

                                                  King, Martin Luther. (19). “I have a Dream”. The speech demonstrated the need for black American solidarity to achieve a sense of ‘belonging’ in the United States where M L King made the speech. It was so significant to the civil rights movement! King is calling black Americans to unite to achieve equal rights/belonging in their own country.
                                                  Scroll through this page to get general notes on King: http://www.e-rudite.net/speeches.htm
                                                  And this to get a deconstruction of the speech for techniques: http://www.e-rudite.net/speeches_deconstruction.htm

                                                  Bush, George . (2001). Axis of Evil. Clearly defines theose who don't belong. Very useful if your text has an "us and them" mentality.
