Write an analysis of the speech.
 * 1) What is the purpose of the speech? Provide a brief statement of context.
 * 2) Who is the audience?
 * 3) Which appeal (ethos, pathos, logos) is most prevalent? How do you know?
 * 4) Is the argument effective? Were any logical fallacies used?
 * 5) How could the argument have been strengthened?

1 . The purpose of the speech is to raise spirits, to make everyone know that it didn't end with harry's death, that the fight lives on. Harry's death brings everyone despair, they begin to doubt their own strength and will to fight. 2. The audience is Voldemort and his army against the students, teachers, and other members at Hogwarts. 3. Pathos is most prevalent because Neville brings up all those who died, and how they didn't die in vain. 4. Yes the argument is effective, everyone's hope starts to return and is fully restored by the time Harry comes back from the dead. There weren't any logical fallacies by Neville aside from the fact that he ultimately says that Voldemort will die in vain when he couldn't possibly know for sure that Voldemort would die at all. 5. The argument could have been furthered, he could've been more blunt.
