227 Words1 Page

In America, there has been many terrible tragedies happening in the past year. From the woman killed in Charlesville for peacefully protesting, to the recent incident that happened in Las Vegas, where over five hundred were wounded. These catastrophic events make you question what this country has come to. It makes you feel hopeless, like there is nothing we can do to make a difference. We can make a change! If we all work together as Americans and spread as much love as we can, we can conquer all hate. A few words of wisdom or let alone just a nice compliment to someone, can transform their day or their outlook on life for the better.

    In Amanda Gorman’s poem “The Hill We Climb” at the 2021 Biden inauguration, she campaigns for a united nation to fight against the many problems of division and adversity prevalent within American society. Gorman acknowledges the struggles America has faced recently, including the 2021 COVID-19 pandemic and the Capitol riots, claiming that the people of our country “would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy” (line 18). During times of distress and adversity, Gorman advocates for us as Americans to work together to make change and alleviate the problems within our country, rather than causing havoc and riots to damage our nation even more. She states that overcoming adversity teaches us a lot about our nation, stating that even

    Tragedy is often thought to be synonymous with despair, confusion, and pain. When tragedy strikes, it brings heartache to the surrounding community and in the immediate aftermath of the attack, everyone is hurting. But then, just as the dust begins to settle, and the shock of the event has passed through our systems, we unite in unimaginable ways shouting phrases of patriotism, nationalism, and solidarity. “United We Stand” swept through the streets of New York City and across America after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, “Boston Strong” was heard throughout the Boston area and tweeted all over social media following the Boston Marathon bombing, and “Je Suis Charlie” was shouted in many rallies throughout France following the terrorist attack

    For as long as our country has been established, we were taught that it is second to no one. If these beliefs are tarnished, the United States will collapse into a downward spiral. It is important to look past America's flaws and look at its overwhelming accomplishments because, as once said by Abraham Lincoln, “A house divided against itself cannot stand”. As we begin to see in modern politics, when political parties become so polarized, we turn to fight each other rather than focus on the bigger issues at hand. Americans are becoming more and more uneasy with the state of our country, and it is showing through an increase in domestic conflicts and opposing ideals.

  • Examples Of Ethos Pathos Logos

    When we combine and demonstrate peace, love, and positivity to others, we can truly change the world for the better and achieve a semi-utopian society in which we always “Pay It Forward.” Although many people believe they are doing something to change the world, in the end, they are truly making it harder to get ahead for most people. Heading into the presidency, Donald Trump believed he had something to help each group of people in the U.S.A.; and, if he were to get elected, he would once again “make America great again.” As we have all witnessed, he has only caused more divides of greater magnitude and has honestly caused this country to take a step backwards. In the film, “Pay It Forward” by Mimi Leder, there are multiple characters that demonstrate that we have our own ways of changing the world that can be classified through the rhetorical strategies of ethos, pathos, and logos.
