The purpose of this speech was to get his fellow classmates to vote for him to be the new class president. The audience was his fellow classmates of his private school. He uses a logical appeal by saying that he will make "your wildest dreams come true" and by saying that their mascot is a warrior so they must “fight” for what is right, which is what he will do as class president. The argument is effective. He gets all of his fellow classmates excited about voting for him and makes his classmates believe that they need to vote for him to lead them in this “never ending fight.” This could have been strengthened if he would have said more of the good things he would do as class president. He never really mentioned any things he would improve on, he just mentioned that he would “fight.” He could have addes more grounds to his argument of why they should vote for him.
