After World War II, Western Germany was eager to show the world that Germany was a peaceful place, and had become more than “Nazi Germany”.

He wants the Americans to remember that as a country that we are a whole, no individual people. It helps people remember he wants to keep the US united. Kennedy uses anaphoras as a way to draw attention to the phrases he is using.

ADV-100 Age Limit in the NBA (Final Cut) Former NBA commissioner David Stern, retired February of this year. After his 30 years of service as leader, Adam Silver, Stern's long-time assistant, has taken over the position. Silver, who attended Duke University, plans to introduce himself to the league by proposing to change the draft eligibility age to twenty. This controversial issue will have to be agreed upon by the owners and players, just as it was in 2006, when David Stern increased the age requirement from eighteen to nineteen.

He opens his speech by acknowledging the role of religious groups in the building of the American society. This is an issue that had no coverage in Johnson’s address. While Reagan concentrates on religious beliefs as the instigators of social growth and development, Johnson preferred that use of education and riches as the means to achieve the same goal. This contrast is evident in the way these two presidents gave their opening speeches. The other big contrast between these two speeches is Reagan’s reiteration the freedom and liberty are things that can only be enjoyed with the full blessings of God (Rodgers, 2011, p164).
There is scarcely any part of my conduct which may not hereafter be drawn into precedent.” George Washington was not afraid to take a leap of faith, to step in the dark, confident all the while. “Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.” George Washington was empathetic and charitable, though he never sought anything in return. “When we assumed the Soldier, we did not lay aside the Citizen.” President Washington knew that to succeed, he had to take in account everybody’s point of view, and remain as unbiased as he could. He had his faults, however few, but he conquered those just like he conquered his enemies and his doubters. He faced them head on, using honesty and good values in one hand and cunning and power in the other.
