  • Clementa Pinnckney Eulogy Analysis

    720 Words  | 3 Pages

    In President Obama’s eulogy to the recently deceased Reverend Clementa Pinckney in 2015, he argues that there are still racial issues in America and that we need to change it. Obama supports his argument by giving black churches historical importance by crediting them with serving as a safehouse for slaves and by using the moral authority of God and Pinckney, and Obama’s high status to push for change. The president’s purpose is to convince the country that change is needed so that violence--specifically racial violence--in America comes to a halt. Obama speaks in a tone of hope, adoration (of the Reverend and God), and reverence in order to appeal to the, most likely, religious audience that is listening to the eulogy of a reverend.
