Write an analysis of the speech. 1. What is the purpose of the speech? Provide a brief statement of context. The purpose of this speech is to give Simba the courage to return. His father died and he ran away when he was a boy. Now he is older and needs to return to be king.

2. Who is the audience? It is meant for children and it is meant to encourage them to face their past.

3. Which appeal (ethos, pathos, logos) is most prevalent? How do you know? Pathos is most prevalent because it is almost like his father's dying wish that Simba return to be King. Even though he is already dead, Simba's father is telling him that his spirit lives in Simba and he has a responsibility to protect his land.

4. Is the argument effective? Were any logical fallacies used? This argument is most definitely effective. Simba has not only decided to return but he is running for it.

5. How could the argument have been strengthened? The argument could be strengthened by Simba's father reassuring him that the past is in the past.
