Resource summary
Paul Keating - 'Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier.'
Context - dual militaristic and political significance, 75th anniversary of the armistice
Very well recieved, very patriotic and a shared sense of remeberance gave a sense of common purpose/unity.
Honouring war dead but also promoting national identity and ANZAC unity.
Greater symbolic relevance as homage and reverence was also being paid representationally for all casualties of war
Anaphora/Unity
"We do not know."
Repetition serves to link successive sentences together and strengthen syntax
Reinforce Keating's message and emphasises the anonymity of the Unknown Soldier.
Suggests diverse possibilites, opportunity to identify with him.
Systolic rhythm as Keating contracts and expands focus from individual to universal
"We do not know who loved him or who he loved."
Use of first person pronoun "we" establishes a connection.
Inclusive language is engaging, personal tone.
Use of personal information humanises the Unknown Soldier and appeal to pathos and ethos.
Syntax is emotionally orientated, we can relate/sympathise
Contrasting individuality and anonymity has an emotive effect, juxtaposes individual and the nation.
ANZAC Metonym/Identity
'ANZAC' is the central metonym, associated with qualities of Australian spirit, increases universality.
Evokes unity/emotion, encourages us to "stick together" and links us to those who served in war.
"He is all of them. And he is one of us."
Deeply patriotic and makes audience feel involved.
"At the heart of the ANZAC story."
Personifies ANZAC and carries connotations of deeply emotive.
Likens the qualities to a living entity that can be interpreted as being within all Australians.
Poststructuralist view is that texts construct us rather than us constructing them, in searching for our identity we turn to legend.
Dialogic Nature/Sacrifice
"He may have been one of those who believed the Great War would be an adventure too grand to miss."
Keating offers competing voices or perspectives throughout the text, which adds to inclusivity
Text is not an isolated product, it was constructed in response to other texts for a specific purpose.
"His tomb is a reminder of what we have lost in war and what we have gained."
Antithesis, parallelism/dualism emphasises the futility of war.
Similarity of expression gives equal importance to both aspects, better balance/clarity.
Links past and present, maintaining connection with audience, therefore the impact of the speech survives.
