Rhetorical Analysis Of The First Fireside Chat

FDR knew that if the audience gained trust in him, that they would be able to listen to him and believe him now. Not only does FDR start out his speech laying out his credibility, but he ends it letting the audience know who 's in charge. Towards the end of his speech, FDR states "As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense." In the beginning of his speech, he was letting the crowd know of his credibility, but here he is emphasizing that he is now in charge. The fact that FDR started and ended his speech in this way, shows how important credibility is to

All of  Parliament was present at the time of Churchill’s speech. I think the setting made the mood more soft and inspirational because Churchill is just informing and persuading the Parliament about what they should do to make the odds more in their favor. He is not coming to break the peace or sabotage the function of the government. “I now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government” (Page 1, Paragraph 5). Churchill is declaring that he has a specific mission to the formation of the the victory against Germany.

To present his main points he will put into action during his presidency, Reagan uses logos on several occasions in his speech. Logically structured sentences that show his stance on the old government and a renewed one helps the audience to better understand why he believes what he does. For example, Reagan states, “Those who do work are denied a fair

In the writing "Civil Obedience" by Henry David Thoreau, I can see the depth he goes into trying to explain how America's government should respect us as much as we respect them. He uses very descriptive words that make me understand where he is coming from. The idea of this writing was to make all of America agree with him and stand up to the government. Thoreau states, "I do not care to trace the course of my dollar, if I could, till it buys a man or a musket to shoot one with — the dollar is innocent — but I am concerned to trace the effects of my allegiance". I feel like in this, he shows how he doesn't necessarily care about the past of the government, or what has happened, rather what will happen.

Fighting for equality was a relevant theme in early America; however, fighting was only half the struggle, once you won what happened next was up to the leaders of the new system. In Abraham Lincoln’s speech “ The Second Inaugural Address”, America is nearing the end of the civil war and Lincoln explains what should happen next as their victory approaches. Through the use of rhetorical strategies such as diction, allusion, and syntax the audience connects to Lincoln and his statements while understanding the great capability of America. Throughout Lincolns Speech he often times alludes to references the general population knows about so they can connect to him and his statements while receiving a greater knowledge of his purpose.

A year after America declared independence on July 4, 1776 congress had drafted the Articles on March 1, 1781 they ratified America’s first written constitution, The Articles of Confederation. The Confederation was still facing economic, political, and diplomatic problems. A group of men called the Nationalist decided to step in. They believed in stronger government to protect America’s interest and decided to meet in George Washington home back in Philadelphia.

Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal redefined the role of the Federal Government in the lives of the everyday citizens. FDR warned the U.S. of the dangers posed by Germany, Italy and Japan before most recognized them as a threat (History.com). After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor Hawaii and war was declared FDR took a leading role in forming an alliance between countries to combat the Axis powers (History.com). Throughout the war effort President Roosevelt took to the airways on a regular basis to report on the war and to rally the American people to support the war. FDR also helped set the stage for a post war peace organization that came to be known as the United Nations (Histroy.com).

“The Speech at the Constitutional Convention” , given by Benjamin Franklin, was a moving point for our freedom. Franklin was a well respected man for doing many things for our country; such as serving as the president of Pennsylvania executive council and many other honorable positions (Franklin, Benjamin). Allowing him to elaborate was a key component of helping define the term American dream. Franklin being well respected and very charismatic allowed him to effectively broadcast why he believed that the constitution should be ratified. The constitution was an important symbol for demonstrating that the colonists were qualified for self rule.

Obama builds his credibility with personal facts and reputable history, making Americans trust his approach. President Obama uses a fine mix of ethos, pathos, and logos to not only speak to the citizens of America, but leaders and residents of other abiding nations that there is an assortment of challenges in America that can and will be resolved due to the determination, persistent dedication, and morale of Americans. Instead of individualism, Obama focuses on emphasizing the unity of the nation being one again. He does this by refraining from using words like ‘me’, ‘myself’,

Winston Churchill, on behalf of peace and security of the whole world, arranges a speech in which he argues that the United States and Britain must collaborate and mobilize their forces in preparation to resist the military assaults of Nazi Germany and its allies. The speaker emphasizes the cooperation between two nations, reassuring that this military act is reasonable and appropriate. In order to better persuade his audience, he uses a number of rhetorical questions, vocabularies and phrases that highlight his specific points and appeal to people’s emotion as well as reiteration to reinforce his argument. As stated, the author uses rhetorical questions, which are virtually ubiquitous within the writing.

My name is Kane Zimper and I am running for President. Our Party name is the Trustworths, because you can trust us with anything. We picked the eagle for our symbol because it symbolizes America. Some issues we have noticed are the foods they serve at school, texting and driving, and letting immigrants in the U.S. We believe that these problems need to be dealt with the right way as soon as possible.

This compromise helped carry the narrow victory in Massachusetts and was adopted by every state convention to ratify. This proposal efficiently heeded to the concerns of Anti-Federalists. I feel that it was in the best interest for the representatives of Massachusetts to refuse to approve the Constitution. They needed assurance that other amendments would be immediately proposed. After certain amendments, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights completely outlines the purpose and role of the United States government with remarkable terseness and economy of words.

President Reagan voices his opinion in hopes that his speech will succeed and the gates will open. Every other speaker is hoping the same thing, that the government will listen to what they are saying and make a change. Though, the people know that their government wants to keep the people safe, it may not be the best choice that is out there. “...for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.” (Eidenmuller, 3) President Reagan is saying that without freedom there can be no world peace.

For example in paragraph 14: “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate”, Kennedy used parallelism to make his speech more effective and tell the world that America will be tough in foreign policy. In paragraph 9: “to convert our good words into good deeds， in a new alliance for progress， to assist free men and free governments in casting off the chains of poverty,” Kennedy used repetition to make his speech forceful, and tell the world that America will fight against the poverty resolutely with its alliance. In paragraph 9: “But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers,” Kennedy used metaphor to make his speech more vivid and tell the world that do not try to hurt America and his alliance in their territory. In paragraph 8: “If a free society cannot help the many， who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich,” Kennedy used comparison to contrast the poor and the rich to warn people the society should help poor.

In conclusion, Patrick Henry ordeals a well-developed meaning to the delegates and the President that they will not express fear and lose an act of bravery to the British. With an organized speech, he conquered the fear of the British being lifted from the convention to represent this act of freedom. Hopefully that Henry convinces the delegates through God and ideals repetitions to follow his speech in the victory of
