Rhetorical Analysis
Emma Gonzalez uses a lot of pathos in her speech by humanizing the victims of the shooting. She calls them by their names and also describes the types of activities they used to do, which are the things normal high schoolers do. This makes the audience feel her pain as she knew these people on a personal level and they will no longer be able to continue to do these things. Humanizing the victims further drives home the point that they were innocent kids just minding their business.
By naming the victims and describing them as people, she further booths her ethos as someone who survived the shooting. What she says is credible about the effects of gun violence as she herself has experienced it and has lost friends and peers. The pausing and timing of six minutes and twenty seconds logically shows how guns can change people’s lives so drastically in just a short amount of time.
