In the beginning of the speech called, “Blood, Toil, Tears, and Sweat,” Winston Churchill is discussing the new government that he has formed in the past three days after becoming prime minister. In paragraph two it states, “A war cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labour, Opposition, and Liberals, the unity of the nation.” In this part of the speech, he is explaining about the transition of the new government he has formed. Furthermore, he goes on by saying, “Other key positions were filled yesterday.” He does not explain what they are but we can assume that he has done something else too that was an important task to be completed. After explaining what he has already completed he gives a few more details about his future plans. In short, all we know from the beginning of the speech is that he has created a new government.
