conclusion, these people were the ones who shaped Emma’s ideology
about feminism. This feminism will help female as well as male to have the equal rights to be a complete version of human they want to pursue.
How can we affect change in the world when only half of it is invited or feel welcome to participate in the conversation?

Before delivering the statement above, Emma gave the analysis about why the very outstanding speech given by the most famous
woman in that time, Mrs Clinton, could not affect change in the targeted people which were the people of Republic of China. She concluded that
the speech failed because half of the audience were men. As Emma had explained before, men are the main actor who can help to change the
values that have been rooted in the society. Therefore, from the precedent
which is Mrs Clinton’s speech, Emma could conclude that the success of a feminism campaign can be seen
from the number of male audiences who attend it. This is very important for the audience because if they believe in gender equality, they will
encourage men to watch the speech and to be a feminist.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS, IMPLICATIONS, AND SUGGESTIONS
A. Conclusions
Based on the findings and discussions, the conclusions could be drawn as follows:
1. Regarding the first objective, which is to identify and analyze the
kinds of speech acts in Emma Watson ’s HeForShe, the result showed
that all acts are seen in the speech. They are declaration, representative, commissive, directive and expressive. Representative
is the most frequently used illocutionary act compared to the others. The representative was performed in opening, informing,
convincing, insisting, clarifying, protesting, criticizing, guessing and predicting. Informing is the most frequently used among the other
types of representative. As we can see, the gender issue is a very sensitive issue. People have different assumptions about this issue.
Therefore, in order to be less offensive, Emma gave the bias information in her speech. The information was emphasized on how
the gender inequality does not only make girls and women suffer in every aspect of life for a very long time but at the same it also
imprisons men from being sensitive, emotional and vulnerable. She also gave the information about what we could do to solve the problem
by being feminists and joining a campaign called HeForShe.
On the other hand, declaration is seen as the least kind of illocutionary acts. Emma used declaration to inform her authority to
speak in the UN General Assembly podium. It was needed since people knew her as an actress who was free from any political
movements. 2.
Regarding the second objective, which is to identify and analyze the kinds of the arrangement of classical rhetoric in
Emma Watson’s HeForShe, all types of arrangement are seen except the division.
Division was not used by Emma because she wanted to be straightforward and simple in addressing the issue. As we know,
Emma needed to tell them many things about the problems happening in the status quo. Therefore, in order to make her speech simple, she
did not use division in her speech. Proof comes as the most often to be performed in the speech. It is
because Emma wanted to convince the audience to accept the truth that there is an urgent gender problem happening in our surrounding,
and the way to solve it is by believing in the gender equality and joining the movement. As we know, the nature of the audience was
highly educated and having a politically higher position. Therefore, it was needed for Emma to be smart and effective in delivering her
speech. By focusing more on the logical explanations, she could grab the people’s attention towards the issue. Proof was also used in order
