 media type="custom" key="25159166" Purpose: The speech is to thank those who helped Robert Downey Jr. to receive the Golden Globe for best actor in a comedy for his part in Sherlock Holmes.  Audience: The people who are watching the Golden Globe award ceremony.

Appeal: Pathos, Robert Downey Jr. uses emotion through comedy throughout the speech to help express his sincer e gratitude toward those who helped him get to this point in his life. He talks about his troubled past to appeal and to show how grateful he truly is.

Effectiveness: I believe that the speech was quite effective it used humor and sarcasm to express his Downey’s thoughts and feelings toward those watching and entertained everyone as well.

Logical fallacies: throughout the speech Downey uses a humorous sarcasm to thanks those who helped him by saying they didn’t.

Strengthened: I believe that the speech could have been extended to add more effect but for his purpose I believe it to be phenomenal. ​
