The goal of this research is to (1) determine which of Soekarno's speech methods he used., (2) the messages that he sends forth. To aid in data analysis, a descriptive qualitative design is used. The theories of Kenneth Burke and Aristotle are employed to comprehend and interpret the evidence. The precise information comes from Soekarno's speech, "To Build a New World." The data demonstrate that Soekarno employs both Burke's and Aristotle's beliefs. Soekarno employs the "pentad," which includes agent, scene, act, agency, and purpose, based on Burke's theory. Soekarno employs logical, emotional, and ethical appeals in accordance with Aristotle's theory.
