Based on this criteria, it is possible that the president could be giving a spoken presidential address. Now, what is a spoken presidential address? Although there is no true definition for it, I believe a spoken presidential address is a speech administered by the president to an interest/defined group about an issue of importance or to draw awareness to a certain subject.

He has not observed every Spanglish-speaker in the world and as mentioned, he does not use statistics to convince the reader. So why do we even believe him?

Therefore, he must have some form of authority.

To start the speech the announcer says “he (Nixon) interrupts his run on the campaign trail to deliver this message.” This is trying to grab a hold of the audience’s attention that this is going to be an important message. This speech contains a massive amount of ethos because the focus of the majority of speech is to clear up his name from the recent allegations against him. After he clears up his name about the $18,000 donation that he is accused of taking in for personal use, he then shifts the focus of the speech to one more centered on the upcoming election rather than him. Ethos To begin Nixon’s address he comes out and says that if he would’ve taken any of that money to give himself personally a financial advantage it would’ve been

In his address he knows that he is the first president and that the he has shared responsibility of the president and Congress to preserve and start tradition.

On August 8th, 1974 at exactly 9:01 pm, Richard Nixon--former President-- gave a speech that would affect both United States history and the american people.

Purv Chauhan Jack Geist English 108 February 16, 2018 Barack Obama victory speech Rhetorical Analysis “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible - tonight is your answer.” (Obama, 2008).

President Barack Obama’s State of the Union Address uses stories to develop an emotional connection with the audience and stakeholders, demonstrating a sense of passion similar to Orwell. In the essay, “Why I Write”, Orwell depicts his motive for writing as a passion for political purpose, similarly Obama uses politics to become the dominating theme of the address. However, each individual is fueled by a separate reasoning for the shared admiration of political writing. George Orwell choses to write political novels due the experiences he has encountered as demonstrated when he writes, “This increased my natural hatred of authority and made me fully aware of the existence of working classes…understanding of the nature of imperialism…”(Orwell

I choose The Constitution, the US flag, Statue of Liberty, the national bird, and the national tree.
