QEPD GARCIA MARQUEZ

The speech GABO delivered on 1982 when he won the Noble Prize of Literature, describes de difficulty Latin America has faced during and after  colonial times. He describes and uses pathos to enhance the audience's emotions to feel the sympathy for our continent. Garcia Maquez uses a variety of examples to support his thesis and persuade us. 

Garcia Marquez also uses a counter argument in order to cover all aspects and attack the ideas which might be used against him: "Latin America neither wants, nor has any reason, to be own without a will of its own". throughout the passage, we can see how GABO uses rhetorical strategies to help him fulfill his  task. Decorum, logos, pathos and ethos are clearly used, but he also makes the other points of view (different from his own) "barbaric" and absurd.
