A key Element to Patton's Speech

While reading the speech, I kept thinking back to when we read the poem, "Naming of Parts" in class. We read the poem to ourselves and then out loud; I had my own idea about what the poem was about but wasn't really confident that I was correct. After kryzs read it in a different tone, and played the part of the "drill sargent" I guess, you get a totally different perception. As I read Patton's speech, I got that he was trying to motivate the soldiers and tell them how he felt, but you can only goes as far as your imagination can take you. As a reader you try to visualize the words you read, and create a setting in which the story is trying to protray, but after listening to the speech out loud, and actually seeing a real person vocalize the speech it was far more easier to understand the tone and vibe in which Patton was trying to express. You hear and see it, therefore you become more connected with the words, I read the speech on paper to myself, then out loud but still felt the same way each time, how I interpret the speech played heavily on its presentation.
