Robert F Kennedy’s speech was a passionate speech. He took command of the speech and delivered a very intense speech. He nurture an adverse situation that caught everyone in attendance off guard since no one knew about the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He mentioned that he also had a family member killed. The murder of Dr. King has filled many Americans, many Blacks and minorities with bitterness, hatred and a desired for revenge.
Everyone had a right to know the facts of their hero's passing, and everyone felt it differently. The Dallas Morning News headlined the following day "Kennedy Slain on Dallas Street" and gave few details to the actual assassination. Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president a few hours after Kenneday passed. The newspapers declared Johnson's speedy inauguration and he then released a statement of mourning for Kennedy as the thirty sixth president. "John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been taken from us by an act which outrages decent men everywhere;" (Johnson) Johnson was able to describe how every man in America was feeling with the opening sentence of his proclamation of a national mourning day.
Fisher used alliteration saying, “Each of them is exactly what God made: a person; not evil, deserving of our judgment; not victims, longing for our pity -- people, ready for support and worthy of compassion,” (Fisher, 1992, para. 6). Fisher used a metaphor when saying,” Though I am white and a mother, I am one with a black infant struggling with tubes in a Philadelphia hospital,” Fisher used parallelism saying, “The -- The lesson history teaches is this: If you believe you are safe, you are at risk. If you do not see this killer stalking your children, look again. There is no family or community, no race or religion, no place left in America that is safe.
(CNN) -- The mastermind of the worst terrorist attack on American soil is dead, U.S. President Barack Obama announced late Sunday night, almost 10 years after the attacks that killed almost 3,000 people. Osama bin Laden -- the longtime leader of al Qaeda -- was killed by U.S. forces in a mansion outside the Pakistani capital of Islamabad along with other family members, a senior U.S. official told CNN. In an address to the nation late Sunday night, Obama called bin Laden's death "the most significant achievement to date in our nation's effort to defeat al Qaeda." Up-to-the-minute updates on bin Laden | President's statement "Today, at my direction, the United States launched a targeted operation against that compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan," Obama said. "A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability.
An example of this is when Romero states, “… I go about the country listening to the cries of the people, their pain from much violence” (Romero). This example shows and tells us that the unnecessary violence will not make the endless suffering stop. Romero uses the form of appeal of anecdotes, which are pathos, in order to appeal to the feeling and emotion of the people. Another example of this is when he says, “In La Laguna, the attackers killed a married couple… their little children…and 11 more peasants” (Romero).this example shows that they are not only killing innocent citizens, they are also killing children and families. Romero uses anecdotes to describe the scenes he lived through to help the listener understand that life in El Salvador has gotten very difficult to handle.
The youth are affected by becoming desensitized at an early age; laughing at death, mocking the injured, showing no remorse (Grossman 502). Young adults that had been exposed to this violence at a young age are getting ahold of guns and ammunition killing convenience store owner’s by ‘accident’ (Grossman 503). Their conditioning and reflex motor skills activate, Operant Conditioning, causing stimulus response to assimilate in an impulsive manner. Exposing children to war brutality through media is conditioning them to breed violence. Killing is a trained skill forced upon a man; viciously cycled through younger age groups.
When high-profile gun violence has happened it brings a nationwide focus that beams down on gun control. Though there has been a lot of press in regard to violence concerning guns, the one that hit the United States the hardest was the loss of innocent children at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The deadliest shooting to happen in a school was the tragedy that happened at Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 2007. Of course there is no forgetting the Columbine shootings that happened in 1999, or the young Amish girls that were shot and killed in 2006. News articles bring up these horrible deeds from the past in regard to bring focus on gun control.
Moore first shows children outside weeping and crying outside of Columbine school then cuts to Charlton Heston holding a NRA rally to seem as though Carlton Heston had every intention on holding this rally straight after the Columbine massacre. Moore uses selective footage from Heston’s speech to give it a completely different meaning and starts the speech off with "I have only five words for you: 'from my cold, dead, hands...” Mike has led us to believe that Charlton Heston was saying this about the columbine massacre and frames him as a heartless and pro-gun violence supporter with no sympathy for the massacre prior to his rally in Columbine. He depicted that these were Charlton’s intentions all
Then the next thing I knew we was getting phone calls from news channel 5 and 4 wanting to do an interview about the hate crime. After all the publicity with the news and the paper, neighbors would stop by to say how sorry they were to hear of the terrible things that happened. We even received a care package out the blue one day from Wynonna Judd. She expressed her sorry that we had to go through this ordeal. After random acts of kindness like this from complete strangers, I’m amazed at how many people in the world today are still
He and others like Gabrielle Giffords are even bringing the parents of the children who were lost in Sandy Hook to make tearful pleas to pass the amendment. Gabrielle Giffords is yet another example that proves my theory. She was shot in the head by Jared Lee Loughner in 2011 in the middle of a constituent meeting she held. Loughner was expelled from college for disruptive behavior and was showing many signs of mental distress prior to the shooting. So much so that his parents disabled his car at night and took his shot gun away from him.
