The people conquered by charlemegne , after being converted to christianty, were taught through the bible of codes that taught right and wrong. It was nesscary for the church to play a role in this education of the people, because only the clergy were educated. The church also guided charlemagene’s hand as a ruler, for he took on many conquests and missions so this way the Christian relgion could spread throught Europe. Indeed, his desire and passionate to spread his kingdom and government was interwined with his desire to spread the Christian relgion and have the people live according to the word of god. At that beginning of the caroligian dynasty the church was suffering from problems.
John F. Kennedy addressed the country as President for the first time on January 20, 1961, keeping the audience thinking about the future of the United States, but the future of other countries as well. In this Inaugural Address, Kennedy uses antithesis to set up a way of thinking that has to be broken down in order to fully understand what the point is, which is bettering our country as well as others. John F. Kennedy appeals the country through antithesis in his Inaugural Address by engaging the U.S. citizens to think about branching out to help other countries as well as improving the United States. Kennedy has many valid points on branching out of the United States to help those in other countries. 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.
Ashley Martin AP Lang and comp 1/28/12 JFK Inaugural Address Rhetorical Analysis President John F. Kennedy presented a very compelling speech to Americans and “citizens of the world” after being sworn-in to office on January 20, 1961, the time of the Cold War. This was a continuing state of political and military tension between the powers of the Western world. Citizens trembled with fear of nuclear power. Kennedy’s hopes were to reassure the nations and set peace thought his speech. His inauguration speech was so effective that it captured the entire nation’s attention by the use of rhetorical devises such as antithesis, anaphora and imperative sentences to help him strengthen his purpose of unity and reassure American’s that their freedom would be upheld.
Dwight Eisenhower was inaugurated as the 34th president of the United States on January 20, 1953. The speech he gave at this event was a very important one. It called on Americans to unite themselves against their large foe, which at this point was communism. Some strategies he used in his speech to make successful is syntax, repetition, logos, and pathos. All three of these strategies are commonly used, but it takes an innovative man to use them and clearly support his purpose, and that is exactly what Dwight Eisenhower did with his address.
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY THE USE OF RELIGION IN EARLY CHAPLAINCY A PAPER SUBMITTED TO DR. JIM FISHER IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COURSE CHPL 500 LIBERTY THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA MONDAY FEBRUARY 22, 2010 The use of religion in early history of the chaplaincy by and large seems to have been formulated mostly to rouse the troops to battle with a sense of well-being knowing that their God was on their side, and that the undertaking they were about to engage in was a righteous one. In the ancient biblical days, we see Moses as the commander/chaplain of sorts for the Hebrew forces in a battle against the Amalekites. Moses’ lifted hands acted as a morale boost
At the time, many Protestants questioned whether Kennedy's Catholic faith would allow him to make important national decisions as President of the United States. Kennedy addressed those concerns before a skeptical audience of Protestant clergy. Kennedy uses Ethos, Pathos, and Logos throughout the speech. He also displays a use of invention into his speech to make his point to the audience. Throughout the speech, he remains respectful and focused, while proving his point in an effective way to the audience.
Lincoln highlights that “both read the same bible and pray to the same God.” He enforces his point by using allusions from the bible, such as “The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.” With this being said, it brings together the Confederacy and the Union, giving them the wake-up call that the Nation desperately needs and reminds them of their, not only shared, but spiritual values, rather than intense fighting and concentrated divisions. This really explains that if they come as one, the United States could do so much more than both of them alone, that being one of the main ideas that he was trying to get across to the audience in his address. President Abraham Lincoln, the Commander in Chief of the army during the Civil war, led America through the toughest of times. The North had won the Civil war; nevertheless, Lincoln did not choose sides even though he could easily have done so. Instead, Lincoln used his speech to bring out the idea that everyone should emulate for peace and “charity for
His intention was to prove to his opponents he had sufficient authority to promote the civil rights cause on behalf of his community. The first example that illustrated King use of this strategy is present in the second paragraph of his letter: "I have the honor of serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference". Thus, he reminded his interlocutors of his position of leadership in the religious community. This allowed him to stand in the case of equal qualifications with the eight clergymen. Furthermore, in the third paragraph, he stated, "Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid."
Following the announcement to the high clergy, the Pope traveled throughout Western Europe to promote his battle cry (Riley-Smith, Idea 16). By granting soldiers “pilgrim status” (a standing in which one was exempted from taxes due to extreme devotion to Christianity), he managed to recruit many men. The pope also introduced another enchanting concept when he declared that “participation in the crusade would ‘remit sins’ and help you save a man’s soul” (28). Convinced that the raids contained nothing but a sure path to glory and salvation, the great Christian army bearing the sign of the red cross upon their chest constantly grew all over Europe and the First Crusade finally began”
Allusions convince and change the mind of men like the clergymen in this case. Using religious figures makes allusions that men of God would easily relate to. He makes a comparison to his actions to those of Socrates practicing civil disobedience in the quote, “To a degree, academic freedom is a reality today because Socrates practiced civil disobedience”(210). Another allusion is included about Adolf Hitler reign in Germany where “everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal”, ”to prove the point of what is “right and wrong” is in the eyes of the beholder (210). In most paragraphs he uses at least one allusion that the clergymen can compare his or their opinion to.
