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. He wants the Americans to see that they need to come together and help. “not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need-not as a call to battle though embattled we are,” he says this to try and get the American people to realize that even though he is not specifically asking for them to help, the country needs them to.
He lays everything down in front of them to see. This kind of honesty and sincerity that he shows to the people is a new form of persuasion. Nixon’s persuasion skills made this speech a successful one, which has stuck with people even today. He used his words effectively, and did the job of refuting most if not all of the questions presenting themselves because of the funds that were donated. His final thoughts that he leaves with the people reinforce his main points, and put his full support behind his decisions and his running mate Eisenhower.
By describing these responsibilities passed on to the new generation, Kennedy invokes the need for the people to continue to support the ideas of freedom that have made the country so successful. Doing so, he challenges Americans to “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe.” JFK presents the use of imperative sentences to help him command, implore, and entreat the Americans to do their part. This makes the nation ask themselves “what together [they] can do for
Some of the techniques I noticed were syntax, repetition, logos, and finally, pathos. Eisenhower’s Inaugural Speech of 1953 was very successful in connecting to his listeners. He was able to get his penultimate purpose across, which was that the country needed to band together once more to stay strong against the flare up of communism, but I believe his ultimate purpose was to keep the country moral high, and keep the people together, so they could overcome anything, whether it be communism or aliens. The United States of America will forever be banded together after this
Kennedy includes his people to join in with him and make a difference for the nation. Kennedy delivers his speech to a wide range of people. He connects to his audience by the way he wrote his speech with a variety of creative word choices. Kennedy relates to his older citizens when he takes archaic words into account such as, “forebears, foe, and asunder.” The archaic words express a strong source of emotional persuasion to the older audience and they can connect to their new president. Kennedy’s older audience can perceive that although Kennedy is still quite young, he can talk to his older audience with words that they can associate to and once or still say.
Although, Kennedy gets his audience, Americans, engaged through antithesis, “Support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.” Kennedy switched up the words in his speech to get the audience thinking positively about supporting those who want the help of the United States. Kennedy then goes to a different side of his plans; explaining that the countries that get our help will be the ones who side with the U.S. in our American ideals. Thus, supporting his purpose further by stating two opposite ideas in one antithesis statement. By Kennedy doing this, he creates a strong engagement with the U.S. citizens because his main purpose is to branch out to other countries, but at the same time he said he wouldn’t let other countries stand in the way of helping those who truly want the help. Another strong motive of Kennedy is his concern with improving America further.
They have a very strong-and some say extreme-belief about war. They believe there should be no war. Of course, It’s not extreme to want world peace, but their measures are viewed so by some people. As president, Gary Johnson has promised that he would cut military spending by 43 percent. He would also take all military personnel out of Afghanistan.
He clearly lays out for the reader the events that occurred and the people involved. He does his best to describe the differences and similarities between the various organizations such as the SCLC, CORE, and SNCC. While also broaching the subject that these organizations often suffered by not working together. Sitkoff writes at length, rightfully so, on the pivotal role of Martin Luther King Jr. and the dream of living in a world without racism. Describing ways in which he motivated a nation to rise up peacefully and without violence when possible.
Despite temporary setbacks, negotiations continued, and in 2001, the IRA announced that it would begin to disarm. Furthermore, in July 2002 the IRA issued a public apology to the civilian victims of its attacks. Despite these promises, it was not until July 2005 that the IRA formally ordered an end to their armed campaign, pledging to use non-violent means to achieve their goals. In September of that year, an independent commission set up to oversee the disarmament process, the Independent Monitoring Commission, reported that the IRA had in fact scrapped their arsenal. The group in upholding their pledge to abstain from violence sees this as a major step.
The pros and cons; also how to make the process better for our country with just a few tweaks compared to the old process. Approximately forty years have passed since the United States used the drafting system. This draft system was used through World War I and II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. President Nixon abolished the drafting system in 1973, so our military then switched to the so called “volunteer” force.
