By linking the aspects to the history of our founding fathers the speech was structured and strong. President Obama uses the theme of history and the method of pathos to create patriotism in his speech. President Obama creates a patriotic tone in the speech by mentioning all the “ups and downs” our country faced such as when he says “Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction.” Leaving the audience with a sense of pride because this
FDR Analysis Within Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address at the Democratic State Convention in Syracuse, NY on September 29, 1936, the issues concerning the American way of life caused by the Great Depression were expertly addressed by FDR with his re-election in mind. Based on his audience, he tailored his speech toward the Democratic Party by glorifying the laws and actions that have lead to success by them, and assaulting the Republican tactics that have left the country in such a Depression. This purposeful speech with its well placed use of pathos and ethos to cause agreement among the Party and a well written analogy bashing upon the Republican standard enabled Roosevelt to win over the praise of those present. As a Democratic himself, he enticed the other Democratic into believing what he has done as a president was their work too. With the use of “we” and “us”, he enabled those present to believe that his cause was their cause, that they were one “force”, united together in this 1936 campaign.
By thanking Mr. Bush he shows that he will show respect to every single American. In the following paragraphs he analyzed the economic crisis by being honest using phrases like "Our economy is badly weakened." In paragraphs 3-7 promises America that the challenges will be met. He starts of the sentence with "but" and pausing after "America" to ensure the audience that the challenges will be definitely met. Moving on to paragraphs 8 through 17 is hopeful and optimistic by providing his audience with many examples of how the Americans survived several crises in the past.
earA Rhetorical look at Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation Given by Franklin Delano Roosevelt David Thayer English 112 This speech was in relations to the horrible and reprehensive attack on Midway. It was the start of the Unites States in World War II (WWII). The influence this speech had on the American people was of great importance to the acceptance of our entrance to the war. It showed that by allowing the people to know the gravity of this incident it would get their approval. President Roosevelt used Pathos and Logos to attract the nation to the idea that if we did not act swiftly with force we would get attacked again and many more innocent lives would be taken.
He does this by using emotionally charged words to draw in the American public and get them to relate to the topics at hand. "...the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans...born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed..." He shows that the country is one. As Kennedy progresses, he also uses Aristotle's logos. Logos is also known as logic. By using these logos such as, "...we pledge our best efforts to help them them help themselves, for whatever period is required--not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right."
President Obama is letting the American citizens know that things are changing and we the people need to change also. The author target audience is everyday people because he states that any one of us at anytime may face a job loss or sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The author uses ethos to make that appeal to make everyone be on the common ground whether you’re rich or poor, because these things can happen to anyone. The president is advocating togetherness from the American people by urging us to come together to care for our nation and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune. The president is letting the American citizens know that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.
The tragic news of Che Guevara’s death led Gerassi, with the aid of his students at San Francisco State College, began the search for speeches and articles and set up interviews with people who knew him. From this book I only picked some speeches that I found the most interesting and also the most relevant with my topic of preference. These speeches are: ‘’On Underdevelopment”, a pep talk given at industrial exhibition about a greater nation with better standard of living, “On Saying No to Yankees”, a minor outcry against the US imperialism, “On Growth and Imperialism”, one of his famous speeches, where he describes the achievements of Cuban Revolution, “Against Bureaucratism”, a short but thorough attack on Bureaucratism, “On Development”, an accomplished document about the real causes of underdevelopment in Cuba in terms of American capitalism and imperialism, exploring the relationship between the rich and the poor, and “Man and Socialsim in Cuba”, one great document, which describes the history of socialism as Guevara understood it and as Cubans are trying to establish. This book was a good primary source, with a lot of information about the ideology of Che Guevara. Guevara, Che “Che Guevara Talks To Young People” Ed.
The way JFK structures his speech was in an order that made out the problems first and then saying the solution afterward to give that insurance that it could be done. As evidence, Kennedy uses very common fears among the people, something everyone can relate to, and they can have confidence in removing. Within his speech, John uses many forms of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. One example of the usage of Ethos that he uses was when he naming how God is important to him and the United States’ future. “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich,” stated Kennedy.
He believes and he wants all the people to believe that America will finally take the role of leading the world into a bright future, with the help of its incomparable democratic tradition, its progresses in science and technology and military affairs and its people’s hard efforts. In order to perfectly address his ideas, he makes use of many rhetorical devices. Being faced with the terrible Financial Crisis, the loss of Public confidence, Obama makes his address a horn to inspire Public confidence, a warranty to get democracy power, and a banner to recall America dream. He tries to make his people believe that America and American spirit would conquer the serious economic situation, and change it into a more prosperous country. Both of them are addressing their speech when America is in tough situation.
I will be focusing on just a few key areas that have been struck due to the recession for President Obama and the Great Depression for President Roosevelt and how each man either fixed the problem or is attempting to. Here is just a short list of issues: unemployment rate, financial institutions and the stock market. Just like President Roosevelt, President Obama hit the ground running with his uncanny ability to act upon the economic crisis that was yet again effecting the American people. Obama scored major points with the people since within his first hundred days in office he was able to get congress a much needed stimulus package for their approval that would take care of the financial crisis the American people were facing with major businesses and financial institutions declining at a very fast pace. However, Roosevelt was facing a much worse scenario with an unemployment rate of nearly 25% after the stock market crash of 1929.
