Highlighting these images moves the reader to better understand the message Lincoln was trying to accomplish of finalizing the Civil War and uniting a nation to move pass it’s indifferences. Similarly, Wood also highlights imagery in the election night speech when explaining how Obama was able to take the American citizens on a journey from the moon to Berlin then a polling place. Obama was even able to capture the everyday person by describing the troubles of a one hundred and six year old woman who made her journey across the century in order to cast her vote.

Analyzing and fighting for our American policies and government. Last but not least, we as citizens need to control this economy and see what is really in our pockets. Being an upcoming freshman and a high-school graduate, scholars need to realize the oppurtunity we have to change the world, and have a huge impact in tomorrow’s world. It’s a luxury to have a free education to minorities, and many different physical races, ethnic backgrounds, and of course various religions. On the other hand, the education we as students receive can categorize as a national concern because as a nation we can’t have big percentage drops in tests that challenge our minds for the real world which we will encounter.
Kaitlynn Curtis A Neo-Classical Criticism of President John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address On January 20, 1961, President John F. Kennedy, stood in front of the United States Capital building and delivered his inaugural speech. During this time of JFK election the U.S was fighting in the Cold War. Kennedy wanted to get America moving economically again, he wanted to lessen poverty in the U.S. as he had promised in his campaign. Using Neo-Classical Criticism; I will examine how President John F. Kennedy was able to stimulate action to deplete poverty in The United States and other countries experiencing poverty through his inaugural speech. I will discuss three topics areas that will demonstrate the context for the artifact: JFK as a rhetor, the occasions on which the rhetoric was presented and the audience to whom the rhetoric was addressed.
On April 11, 1962, President John F. Kennedy addressed his nation due to the aggrandizement of steel prices the previous day. President Kennedy wants to unify his country and bring out the patriotism in his fellow Americans during a time of war and crisis, this can all be summed up in his most famous quote, "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country." He adopts a disapproving tone in order to captivate his Americans. President Kennedy uses the rhetorical appeals pathos and logos, while also using a formal diction and long sentences. Kennedy begins his address to the nation with his disapproval of the "leading steel corporations" and their "unjustifiable and irresponsible"
FDR felt that the American government was going to fix all the problems of the people and make their lives improve over time. His ‘New Deal’ plan really stresses this fact. He knew that the people could accomplish anything with just a little coaxing from their leader. Hoover thought that their needed to be less government control and the people had to do some things for themselves. He wanted them to be able to fix their problems themselves and let the government do more important jobs and have to worry about them less.
Consequently to the 9/11 attacks, the United States Government made significant modifications to what is surely considered to be one of the Countries most significant and important documents that has stood almost in tacked for over 200 years. Accordingly, our generation has earned the distinction of experiencing one of this century’s most important controversy. Therefor the debate of weather or not the Bush administration and congresses actions were un-American will go on, for possibly ever. Though no reasonable person can dispute the need to give the authorities we task with keeping our precious children safe from extremists who want nothing more than to see us dead, the tools they need to do what is seemingly an impossible job. Therefore, our modern day Jefferson’s and Franklins are guaranteed to have notched their place in history for acting so quick as to pass such big and heavy bill faster than any legislation has ever been passed before.
When Americans began to believe that weapons of mass destruction existed and decided that Iraq was providing support to al Queda, the war could be justified as an act of self defense. Bush also told Americans by invading Iraq he would bring a democracy to their country to better the policies and enforce democratic beliefs in their country. The role of the media plays an imminent part in the run up to the war in Iraq. The media repeatedly showed the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers. People were watching this horrific act being shown on every news channel for weeks after the attacks occurred.
