John F. Kennedy was a United States president during an economic recession in the early 1960s. During this crisis, steel companies significantly increased steel prices, prompting Kennedy to publicize his response in a news conference on April 11th, 1962. In his speech, President Kennedy uses repetition and logos to declare to Americans that he is outraged by and taking action against these steel companies. Kennedy uses repetition to emphasize why people should be upset by the steel price increase. Repetition is the use of a word or phrase multiple times for dramatic effect, applied first in lines 6-9 through the phrase “when we are,” followed by the tense international and economic circumstances of the time.
On an important day in 1961, John F. Kennedy delivered a speech to the people all over the US and around the world that still gets quoted today. He made this speech to unite and make everyone come together. In his speech he used various examples of ethos, pathos and logos that really helped the speech and people come together. He as president would write the speeches himself and wouldn’t let others write it for him and is praised by many people because of that. John F. Kennedy didn’t use a lot of ethos but the ones he used were very good because it got the point across clearly.
J.F Kennedy, the president of United States wanted to put the first Americans to the moon-America exploring the moon, so he directed his speech to the people of taxes and Rice University to promote his space exploration program that will help America to be the first country to explore the moon. He believes that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. Throughout J.F Kennedy's speech, the speaker makes effective use of evidence, reasoning, rhetorical elements, and rhetorical devices that together form his argument to gain people support for his space exploration program. J.F Kennedy was trying to prove his point of view by giving examples and using a lot of Rhetorical devices and appeals that would grab the reader's attention
Throughout this speech, a couple of things stood out to me which were kind of weird. Pathos, Ethos, and Logos are all expressed into this speech. Pathos was used in the beginning of the speech when Obama described scenarios of sad situations. For example, he used the imagery of an empty dinner table. Kids growing up without their mother or father.
On the 29th of December, 1940, Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the nation, but not in his usual “Fire-side Chats” but instead in a more serious manner. Roosevelt tried to tell the nation that World War Two could be won, but not without effort on every man, woman, and child’s behalf. He also stated that we would need help from other nations that were trying to fight off Nazi Germany. Roosevelt does an excellent job in instilling a strong sense of determination and love for one’s country; this ultimately helps the United States and other Allied Forces to go on to defeat the Axis powers. When delivering this speech, Franklin uses many literary elements.
On January 28, 1986, Ronald Reagan addressed a shocked nation the night after the Space Shuttle, Challenger, exploded 73 seconds into its flight. Resulting in failure of some O-ring seals, the right side booster pivoted around the exterior of the shuttle and struck the external tank inter-tank area, resulting in an explosion. All seven crew members died and the country watched in horror on live television as the wreckage crashed into the ocean. Reagan initially prepared to address the State of the Union, but as a result of the failed mission he delivered a short speech honoring the bravery of those involved in the tragedy. In his speech, Reagan appeals to all Americans effectively using Pathos, Ethos, and Logos to convey his thoughts and offer
In this 2008 Presidential campaign was the year President Barack Obama and John McCain were fighting for Presidency were both Democrat and Republican parties were going at each other by giving one are the other a bad reputation on each of their campaign ad. On the many issues of Education, Immigration, Guns, Taxes, Health Care, Housing, Abortions, Iraq, Social Security that occurred in 2008. In the political ad, “Rearview Mirror” President Barack Obama narrator tells us “Wonder where John McCain would take the economy look behind you” letting us know that candidate John McCain wants to continue with George Bush economic policies and by doing this to his fellow Americans he is affecting are ethos and pathos. The video, then goes into a faster
The tragedy that took place with the launch of The Challenger on July 26th, 1986 was one that affected everyone in the United States. 73 seconds after the shuttle took off, it exploded, killing all seven crew members on board. On that fateful day, President Ronald Reagan was meant to deliver a report on the state of the union. Instead, he delivered one to the people of the United States which was aired on both television and radio. The speech that he delivers is a short, yet effective one that hits home with the people of the nation.
By popular opinion, the American people of recent years have experienced two of the three most controversial presidents in the history of the United States. It would be natural to include the only black President Barack Obama because, as of late, the president's chair has been filled by men from the Caucasian side of the world. While many tried and failed, Obama succeeded in getting into office and becoming president. President Barack Obama delivered his final address as president of the United States in Chicago's McCormick Place, just a few miles from Grant Park, where he spoke to millions of Americans for the first time as president-elect years ago.
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace.” Those are the inspiring words of president George W. Bush in his 9/11 address after the horrific terrorist attacks on the American citizens. The address was given on 9/11/01, and Bush was assuring the American people that something is being done about the attacks and that they were not left unnoticed. Bush’s address was highly effective even though it relied predominantly on the aid of ethos and pathos, and logos was primarily overlooked.
Decades after Reconstruction, congress had never passed any laws preventing segregation or discrimination. In 1957, civil rights began to emerge and the government started to investigate discriminatory ideas. The Civil Rights Act was proposed by President John F. Kennedy in 1964, later, it was put into action by Lyndon B. Johnson. A speech given by Johnson titled “Remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Bill,” clearly states the “purpose is not to divide, but end divisions” (¶3). Johnson's idea is that all american citizens should be working together to change the issues of discrimination.
In John F. Kennedy’s speech “We Choose to go to the Moon” he uses repetition, figurative language, personification and other literary devices to enhance the point he’s trying to get across. He also makes it sound like the whole country is in this together and everyone is a part of this huge project. In this speech JFK announces that America has now funded the space expedition to the moon. He’s trying to persuade the people that this was the right move for the country.

Obama’s purpose is to bring this to attention and create an equal and fair world. He adopts a serious and concerned tone in order to demonstrate to the people of the United States and other politicians to help make a difference. Obama begins his speech by expressing the struggles of an African American person through the use of pathos.
If giving out false information to persuade an audience is untruthful then why as a society we are still reaching for the untruthful? Persuasion is alternatively what all advertisements are aiming for no matter if it is for a product or idea. Over the use of methods like ethos, pathos, and logos advertisements become more appealing and compelling to everyday people. War propagandas especially utilize the methods, ethos and pathos to support the idea of glorify American and demonize enemies. The credibility of normal citizens was demonstrated throughout war propagandas to help develop their philosophy.
Pathos is another significant element in the film. Guggenheim shows pathos throughout by including Gores tragic life stories, word choice, and his various analogies. Guggenheim brings pathos into the film when Gore starts talking about his six-year-old son who was hit by a car chasing his friend across the street (25:50). This scene in the film allows the audience to feel sympathy towards Gore and allows the audience relate to Gore as some of the audience maybe parents. Gore then relates this story back to global warming by tying it in with how it changed everything in his life and he learned what was important to him.
