Churchill firmly states the policy and his new administration. What other purposes might have been on Churchill’s mind when he drafted his speech? Use evidence to support your answer

Two other possible purposes for the speech are:

1. Churchill wanted to warn both politicians and the population about how quickly this new administration would have to move and plan.

2. Churchill wanted to prepare people's heart for the war while, at the same time, giving them hope for victory.

Explanation:

In his speech "Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat," Prime Minister Winston Churchill announces the His Majesty the king asked him to form a new administration. However, that is not the only purpose of the speech. Churchill asks people, especially politicians, to be understanding when it comes to the lack of ceremony with which the changes in government are being done. The situation is grave, and it demands speedy action:

"I hope that any of my friends and colleagues, or former colleagues, who are affected by the political reconstruction, will make allowance, all allowance, for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act."

Churchill then moves on to speak of the war. He does not try to sugarcoat it. It will be brutal. However, he states that it is the nation's purpose to win, and that they will not stop until victory is gained:

"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. . . . You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror . . ."

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.
