Speeches of hilliary Clinton and George Bush
Now I know, we all know that they are very worthy of study, why else would we be learning about them, but just in case, I’m going to let you know why they are worthy of study.

The speeches also demonstrate how to get the greatest affect from the audience by using inclusive language. “We” and “our” are repeatedly used by both Clinton and Bush “our very freedom”, “we will be taking bold steps”, “greater than any of us”
