In the Address “On the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Seventh Anniversary” by Barack Obama, people could see the use of descriptive assumptions about the economy of America and the use of renewable energy policies that supports Obama’s Government. Those different assumptions performed are well received by the audience. Or at least those assumptions caused a good reception in the thinking of people respect to the recovery of the economy of America and the innovation in the use of clean energy. Also, it is important to recognize some illogical assumptions in this speech of Obama.
Obama used multiple assumptions from descriptive nature in different parts of his speech to support the work of his government. In order to analyze Obama’s assumptions, people had to check that Obama started using real data to create a feeling of confidence with the audience like “And people here in Florida were especially hard hit -- the unemployment

Denmark, United Kingdom, Sweden, and other countries had better records than America in the leading of clean energy. For example, “Denmark set a new world record for wind production in 2014, getting 39.1 percent of its overall electricity from the clean energy source.”(EcoWacth)
Third assumption, “Clean energy is about unleashing the potential of all these new technologies -- because we can figure some stuff out just about better than anybody else” Saying that America had the best equipment was a fallacy when we saw that a country like Morocco had put all efforts to build the greatest super solar power on the earth. In fact, it would be a fallacy to say that just the best minds were located in the United States nowadays when its levels of education dropped in many different fields compared with other state
At the beginning of last year, I convinced my family to start using environmentally products, focusing on green technology. In order to apply environmental technology properly and effectively, I had to figure out what alternative forms of energy existed and how well they worked. This led to my questioning: what other forms of energy could the United States be pursuing to increase its production of electricity? In an effort to research different form of energy and their benefits and detriments, I read two articles: “A Letter to the Editor” by David Rockwood and “Why Uranium is the New Green” by William Sweet. In his letter, David Rockwood, a professional engineer, discusses the several inaccuracies and possible ramifications of wind power as a main source of electricity. Rockwood claims that wind power is unreliable because of flaws in its system and design, not to mention the detrimental environmental impact. Similarly, in his article William Sweet, a college graduate, talks about different ways to impose some kind of carbon regulation. Sweet compares nuclear and wind power to coal-burning power, remarking that nuclear and wind power technologies can make an immediate beneficial difference on greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the fact that Rockwood goes in depth on only wind power while Sweet talks about multiple sources of power, both of the articles made me think that the United States should pursue some other form of energy to increase its production of electricity.
The Greatest Constitution and Democracy on earth, these are my heartfelt feelings concerning the country that I live in. Why do I feel this way, because of the freedoms that we naturally have as citizens of the United State. Freedoms that are sometimes ignorantly ignored by the average citizen instead of being cherished and utilized. U.S. citizens have rights thanks to the original Bill of Rights, for example the right to free speech and the right to bear arms. The framers of the U.S. Constitution which is the basic structure of the American system of government. The U.S. Constitution is a
Evidence: According to the Obama Administration, the United States has nearly doubled clean renewable energy generated by wind, solar, and geothermal since 2008.
These statistics help to illustrate the efficiency of the political policies of the Democratic Party and that the math proves their policies are the best and more effective way to go. He also goes on and brings the focus of his logos to the present by acknowledging the 2010 Recovery Act Obama passed which cut taxes for 95% of Americans and created 4 and a half private sector jobs within the last 29 months. This use of facts helps to present actual evidence behind his claims about the president’s success and persuades skeptics that he couldn’t possibly be wrong due to the fact that his argument has now shifted to be based on the truth and numbers and not only the emotions of the audience.
Ronald Reagan is known as “The great communicator” and it shows in his speech, he is able connect to the audience and this works very well for him, his speech “Address to the national challenger” it is a drastically emotional and important speech for the American people at the time it became one of Reagan’s great speeches and it was crucial to the American’s as they were all in such pain due to the accident which was the Challenger disaster. Instead of doing his report on the state union, he talks about the disaster and honors the members who had passed on board and he wishes that the United States will not stop its space exploration due to this. When listening to the speech is it distinguishable that is the speech is not something to joke about and the tone had an emotional and solemn feel with great respect to all involved being felt.
In this essay I will demonstrate how Barack Obama used these five emotional fallacies; bandwagon, Confidence, repetition, the command and the manufactured problem, to persuade his audience in the speech about “Jobs” also known as the “American Job Act”. I will summarize his main idea, pin point the audience that he will be targeting, then I will layout the foundations of this speech along with the arguments he used to benefit this bill.
In recent years there has been great concern over the growing demand for energy, and the lack of non-renewable energy resources to meet the demand in the future. In addition, the question of “sustainability”—the ability to balance social, economic, and environmental needs in energy production to meet both current and long-term requirements—has come to the fore. It is clear that America must expand energy production quickly, and that we must develop renewable, sustainable energy sources to meet long-term demand and protect our future. There are many proposed solutions, such as wind and solar power. But the technology for these resources is not yet fully developed, making them, at best, low-output alternatives. Because renewable sources are
Reagan’s reliable ethos and strong logos gives acceptance to the nation. Reagan’s well known appeal for his speech was the credibility he gives the space program and the seven astronauts. “I wanted to add that I wish I could talk to every man and woman who works for NASA or who worked on this mission and tell them: ‘Your dedication and professionalism have moved an impressed us for decades. And we know of your anguish. We share it’ “ (6). His words gives credit to the space program for all their hard work they put to make the space program a growing journey. The space program is helping the future. “We don’t hide our space program. We don’t keep secrets and cover things up” (6). Reagan represents credibility to the space program for being
I was wondering if it would be possible for me to meet with you after school sometime to talk about me dropping a class. I'm doing well in all my classes, but my mom and I both feel that 4 APs instead of 5 would allow me more time to practice piano. I love all my classes and I'm sad to see one go, but I find that I don't have nearly enough time for my music, which is very important to me. I also don't have a lunch or a study hall, which is manageable now, but may not be in the future. I am thinking of dropping AP Economics since my other classes are more applicable to what I will be doing after high school. Anyways, what time may I see you soonest?
As the world population rises, we are using more and more energy and it is depleting faster than ever. Our fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) will not last forever and at some point we will have to switch over completely to renewable energy sources. While most of the world still uses non-renewable energy sources, the future will rely on renewable energy and its applications. Right now, over 90% of the world still uses fossil fuels and developing countries even burn wood to generate energy. At the rate we are using our fossil fuels, they will not last us far into the 22nd century. Additionally, big consumers of fossil fuels like China, U.S., Russia, and India are creating large amounts of pollution and it is only increasing. For instance, India has major issues with pollution because of heavy traffic (which releases more fuel emissions into the air), the burning of biomass (wood and other organic matter), and runoff into lakes and rivers. Right now, our biggest goal should be to figure out how to implement more forms of renewable energy in our own society. We should start using renewable energy in America because: it is more environmentally friendly, opens up the job market, and improves the health of the public.
The purpose of George Bush’s speech is to justify his future military actions and to unite the Americans by appealing to their emotions. Bush used a variety of emotive language and stylistic devices to express his concern over the incident for the audience.
As any American may know, when a candidate for the presidency has become newly elected, they must give a speech as they are inaugurated into office. On January 20, 2017, President Donald J. Trump took office with open arms as he became the forty-fifth president of the United States of America. The inaugural speech he recited that day echoed within the minds of millions of Americans and people worldwide.
In the discussion of “A Modest Proposal” the author, Jonathan Swift, uses sarcasm and verbal irony in order to criticizes the English and Irish parliaments. The use of verbal irony gave the criticisms a humorous twist and translated the idea more effortlessly to many readers; however, for some the use of verbal irony created a complicated and traumatizing proposal. To many readers Jonathan Swift’s morals and principles in life are questionable or corrupted, for the proposal of consumption of infant’s flesh. On the other hand, others readers see Swift having a very humorous and relaxing moral; however, his criticisms are still illustrated very clearly. Correspondingly, Swift can be seen as a brilliant writer with a twisted sense of humor and
One way Edgar Allan Poe creates a sense of tension in the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” is by developing an unreliable narrator. When the narrator in the story becomes suspicious of the old man's eye winds up driving him crazy and ended up killing the old man. it suggests that he this shows that he is starting to hallucinate because he knew that killing him was wrong.. This causes the reader to…..to think that the narrator is losing control himself. Later in the story it states , “I gasped for breath-and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly- more vehemently; but the noise steadily increased”( Poe 630). This quote shows how the man ended up going out of his mind because of what happened.
While Obama is campaigning for the upcoming presidential election, many citizens have voiced their opposition to re-electing him into office. The economy’s downward spiral over the last four years has affected his loss of votes and now the
