Throughout his journey, Simon had also met his father’s ‘fuzzy wuzzy angel’ – the man who held him in his arms as he died – Roy. Meeting Roy had given Simon many answers about his father, and allowed him to visit his grave. Visiting his father’s grave was a sentimental experience for Simon.
The strength in his voice tells the listener that he is confident about what he is talking about which is very important or no one would listen to what he had to say. He also made good eye contact which showed a sense of emotion which goes deep into the hearts of the people. King’s speech is persuasive because he knows how to convince people what he is saying is right by relating it to them in a deep, personal way. He uses metaphors that help relate situations to all of the listeners. For example, King said, “America has given the negro a bad check, a check which has come back marked ‘Insufficient funds.’” He is trying to point out that freedom for African Americans is something that was promised but never given.
For example, after “Let the word…passed to a new generation”, Clarke adds that his words actually appeared to be going forth into the exhilarating air. Thus allowing the reader to create a stronger image of the actual speech, and President Kennedy himself. Throughout his writing Clarke, intelligently, quotes Kennedy at least once on every other paragraph, not giving too many quotes but suffices to feed the reader with enough information on Kennedy’s manner of speech.

Bush’s translation of Kennedy’s “Ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country”(Brooks 299) into “What you do is as important as anything government does.

He died in the cause of that effort” (Kennedy). This is an example of the “praise” part of epideictic rhetoric, which he uses to acknowledge the great significance of Dr. King’s life and work, showing the audience that he does respect and realize the great magnitude of their loss. A little farther on Kennedy introduces the “blame” part of epideictic
Barker uses this paradoxical expression to show us that many different feelings and emotions developed between soldiers.
