Analysis: Speech

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

This article covers Vladimir Putin's acceptance speech after winning Russia's presidential election. The reporter used vibrant words to add life to the speech summary. For example, the reporter wrote that Putin's eyes were "brimming with tears" to capture the emotion behind the event. Describing that his eyes were "brimming with tears" is more engaging for the reader than saying "he cried." The reporter also included the fact that the crowd was waving flags to convey that the atmosphere was supportive, which also adds to the liveliness of the article.

The reporter goes beyond the event by including background information about the election. The reporter helps the reader get a better understanding of Russia's political situation by including statements like: "Mr Putin's win was never in doubt..." and "The West can expect Mr Putin to continue the tough policies he has pursued even as prime minister..." The reporter also included the election results, revealing that Putin won in a landslide. Although these snippets of information are not extremely in-depth, they help readers who are not familiar with the Russian political circuit understand the significance of Putin's victory.
