Barrack Addresses The Congress As most of us can already tell, President Barrack Obama is an excellent speaker. He has a variety of speeches that can be considered historic. Rather it be his inaugural speech, or his democratic nomination speech, Barrack always has his way with the audience. This is mainly do in part by his unique and prestigious mannerisms. Personally, I feel that Obama picked up on every responsibility of the speaker.
Using “we are” and “fellow citizens” showed that he actually does care about this country and makes everyone equal. He also talks as if he as well as all the American citizens is in making this country better together. Using “hopeful” makes his tone more reliable and makes him sound more confident. He did seem a bit bi-polar when using some of his words to the audience. Kennedy wanted to reach his audience psychologically and asking them to consider what they could do for the country instead of asking him what he could do.
King’s emotional speech was very powerful and used many poetic devices. For example, he used repetition when he used the line, “I have a dream,” in order to persuade people of his message. He uses this line because he wants to tell his audience that he sees a positive future in his dream that he wants to make happen. Also, Martin Luther King uses tone. He uses tone in his speech by saying “Let freedom ring …” Dr. King is giving the message of hope to his audience.
Kennedy used in his address was Ethos. Ethos his simply, how you appeal to your audience. Many things stood out to me in his speech that connected him to the people of the United States. His most famous quote that comes from the address in the Ethos section is: “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I personally liked this quote because we often find ourselves looking for what someone else can do for us and we hardly ever give back. I think this quote opened the eyes of the people and made them realize they needed to help the country out and do their part in society.
Throughout the speech, he used many techniques that make this speech so iconic. MLK used metaphors, emotive language, alliteration, repetition and many more. When MLK spoke, he spoke as a unit- ‘I am happy to join with you today’, ‘history of our nation.’, so everyone felt equal to him, and the audience when he spoke. King also repeated ‘we’ throughout the speech as an inclusive tone. This was a very powerful technique in order to get his point across in the opening line.
Rhetorical Analysis of JFK’s Inaugural Address John F. Kennedy was exceptionally talented in his ability of using tropes and schemes. This skillset is always imperative in any literature related work. The rhetorical strategies Kennedy uses in his inaugural address help him to achieve success with his ethos, pathos, and logos. Kennedy’s purpose in his speech is to reach out to America and raise their morale. He is also trying to show that he has true concern for the people, instead of simply having his own personal agenda of becoming president.

He wants to take care of the Americans together. The speech is very easy to read he is talking in a way that everyone can understand him. He is referring to the “old” presidents to support what he wants to do, and are making the people relate to situations, they know or have either been a part of or heard of. He is using a little bit of humor in the beginning of the speech, so that people can see that he is also a human and not just a person who makes things happen. He has a family whit two girls who are in school even though their father is the president.
The Journey to the White House: Barack Obama Whenever a new president of the United States is elected, history is made. But never has it been made so dramatically as it was on November 4, 2008, when American’s voters chose Barack Obama as our 44th president. With his election into the White House, Obama defeated much apprehension by becoming the first African American president of the nation. So how does a man become the leader of one of the most powerful nations on earth and break all odds along the way? Barack Obama explains with the following quote: “If you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress” (http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors /b/barack_obama_2.html).
This inspiration is the reason why the country saw an unprecedented amount of people, young and old, rich and poor, black and white come out and volunteer for the Barack Obama campaign By the end of the 2008 general elections, the slogan “Yes We Can” could be seen all across the nation.
