Question

coach boone’s speech from remember the titans
anybody know what this place is? this is gettysburg. this is where they fought the battle of gettysburg.
fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fightin the same fight that were still fightin amongst ourselves today.
this green field right here was painted red, bubblin with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin right through their bodies. listen to their souls, men:
i killed my brother with malice in my heart. hatred destroyed my family.
you listen. and you take a lesson from the dead.
if we dont come together, right now, on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed -- just like they were.
i dont care if you like each other or not. but you will respect each other.
and maybe -- i dont know -- maybe well learn to play this game like men.

logical appeals -- remember to look for facts, numbers, research, cause & effect, comparisons, or common sense.	\fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fightin the same fight that were still fightin amongst ourselves today.\	coach uses a real number (50k dead!) and compares the old war fight to our team’s drama. it’s logical cause he’s showing if we keep fighting, we’ll mess up just like those guys did.	it helps coach get us to stop fighting cause he’s using a real sad example from history instead of just saying \stop being mean,\ he’s like \look what happens when people dont get along dont be that guy.\ it works cause it’s not just his opinion, it’s a real fact.
emotional appeals -- remember to think about what the speaker is trying to make you feel and ask yourself how that calls his audience to action.

Explanation:

To complete the "Emotional Appeals" row, we analyze the speech:

Says (Quote):

"This green field right here was painted red, bubblin’ with the blood of young boys, smoke and hot lead pourin’ right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men: ‘I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family.’"

Means (Explanation):

Coach Boone uses vivid, visceral imagery (blood, smoke, hot lead) and a personal, tragic quote ("I killed my brother...") to evoke strong emotions (sorrow, guilt, empathy). He wants listeners to feel the horror of division and its human cost, making the emotional appeal clear.

Matters (Effectiveness):

By painting a graphic, sorrowful picture of war’s toll and personal loss, Boone connects the team’s internal conflict to real human suffering. This emotional pull urges them to reject hatred (to avoid repeating such tragedy) and unite, strengthening his argument by tapping into empathy and fear of loss.
