Question

Sample Response: While both speeches rely on logical evidence to support their reasons and claims, they differ quite substantially in how they use this evidence. Chamberlain uses logical evidence, pointing to what may happen to the empire if the status quo were to change. He also relies on anecdotal evidence, specifically his personal stories as a soldier, to try to convince his audience that his claims are true. Nehru, on the other hand, uses some logical evidence, but mostly relies on appeals to support his claim. Nehru leans heavily on pathos, or emotional appeals. He talks of a bright future, stirring his audience’s desire for independence. Nehru claims that, through hard work, an independent India could be great for each and every citizen.
