The speech will persuade people to rethink the advantages and the possible effects for voting against illegal immigration

Liberals, on the other hand, support immigration reform based purely on sympathy. They understand that many Latin Americans go through extreme measures to escape hopeless situations back home. While there’s nothing wrong with sympathy for our fellow humans, it may serve to be beneficial to look at immigration reform through the lens of reason.
He says,”We know we can’t stop every act of violence… but maybe we can stop one act of evil, one act of violence”(Obama 2). In this line, Obama is indicating that although America, and specifically the issue of increasing amounts of violence in America will never be will never be “perfect”, perfection can still be aimed towards. This very real goal is found multiple times throughout the speech as Obama continues to restate the idea that improvement should always be an option. Another example of this is when he says,”We can’t save everybody, but we can save some”(Obama 2). Here Obama is addressing the violence and deaths connected to guns.

President, Donald Trump, in his inaugural speech, Presidential Inaugural Address, explores the possibility of a new America. Trumps purpose is to manipulate the American people into believing his bullcrap excuse of being a president. He adopts a confident tone in order to persuade his followers while also using repetition, patriotism, and anger.

Readers analyze the speech as an essay that appeals to the common American and is a speech that makes them feel connected to the president and politics.
