3. “Bonds of mass misery” and “chains of poverty” are clichés, The language in the paragraph after that is fresher because Kennedy is talking about hope for the future in the United Nations and through technology and science. We see examples of fresh language in such phrases as “the area in which its writ may run¨ this has some alliteration as it personifies the U.N., and in “the uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war.”

Ford uses the persuasive appeal of pathos in Paragraph 16 to appeal to the audience's sense of fear. By saying "These are the people who are falling victims to the propaganda of Fear today.". He said that because people fear change and are feeling victimized by it. Words like "fear" and "falling victims" show that people are afraid of change. Ford's motive is likely that he believes members of the audience do not want to be associated with the fear of change, so they would be optimistic and be on the side of change.

The crowd gathered at Riverside Church, on April 4th, 1967, grew silent as the preacher took his place; when he spoke, his words would change the morals of a nation. That preacher was Martin Luther King Jr., and the speech he gave that day is known as “Beyond Vietnam - A Time to Break Silence.” Throughout his speech King used various strategic elements to reinforce his points and fortify his overall argument. Notably, one component that majorly influences the speech is ethical appeal.
John F. Kennedy discusses and analyzes on how the nation differs from the past and present day in that time period. Kennedy narrators on the division and war in the the world to appeal to the audience patriotism by using pathos and logos. In this speech President Kennedy states “to thoses who would make themselves our adversary, we offer not a pledge but a request; that both sides begin the quest for peace, before the dark power of destruction unleashed.” He uses this quote to obtain a logical appeal to the appeal to the people. Kennedy uses logos to show that he wants the nation to come together and be humble together in one peace.

Ethos, Pathos and Logos Bernard Roth author of The Achievement Habit: Stop Wishing, Start Doing and Take Command of Your Life and professor at Stanford University taught a class in design thinking that helped students realize their potential to be the best they can be. In writing his book he makes effective use of the rhetorical triangle in appealing to the readers’ emotions, logical thinking and sense of value. In chapter one he uses each of these argumentative strategies especially effectively when he describes what it means to be successful. He begins chapter one by beginning a conversation with the reader saying, “Your Life has no meaning”.
His diction is very inclusive; he commences his speech with several uses of the words ‘we’ and ‘our’, which makes way for inclusivity. JFK is blurring the distinction between citizen and superior governor by including the people in his proclamation. While describing the hardships and challenges that the country is facing, Kennedy mentions how imperative the occasion is on a global level; in the midst of the Cold War, he reminds his audience of the importance of uniting. Through the use of the lexical field of danger — words such as: ‘defiance’, ‘serious’, ‘risk’, and ‘sacrifice’ — he creates a feeling of tension and urgency, and engages his audience to the concern. To conclude his speech, the President mentions self-guilt on the part of the country on how they had not displayed the “sense of business responsibility” that they should have, a rhetorical strategy that approximates the audience to the government.

Throughout the speech, the Kennedy uses images of freedom to inspire his audience and to further his ethos. Kennedy goes on to tell the public that they are “Heirs of that first revolution.” This quote suggests that America is a father figure that is responsible for many nations throughout the world. Although the inaugural address mainly uses emotional language, Kennedy spends time portraying his credibility to not only his audience, but also the people of the

Woodrow Wilson divides the Fourteen Point speech into three diverse sections, each section dedicated to different sets of issues and solutions directed to fix those specific issues. The first division within the speech is Wilson responding to the issues within diplomacy in the unstable post war world.
The Dream of Perseverance The American dream is about making it through the hard times and obstacles to succeed, to make it through, one must persevere.
