George W. Bush's 9/11 Speech

The momentous tragedy that occurred on September 11th, 2001 has been engraved into the memories of United States citizens. What began as an ordinary day quickly evolved into an infamous horror story: thousands of lives had been taken and countless more had been devastated and ruined by the acts of terror. No one could have predicted what was to come, but no one would be able to escape the horrific and frightening news of commercial airplanes crashing into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. As the terrified country anxiously fretted about the future, President George W. Bush delivered a speech to address the nation in order to soothe the tensions and worry. In George W. Bush’s “9/11 Address to the Nation,” the terrorist attacks on the U.S. are confronted with a speech overflowing with rhetorical devices such as parallel structure, imagery, and various appeals in order to inspire and heal the country.

at that time gave a speech that inspired the nation. The outcomes of both attacks not only cost

One of the most catastrophic events America has faced were the September eleventh terrorist attacks. Our nation faced one of the most damaging attacks in our history and it was up to our president, George W. Bush, to address the entire nation and assure everyone that America still remains a strong and functioning country. Our President George Bush was called upon to address the nation, a nation that was currently suffering from loss, fear, and despair. His goal was to persuade Americans to take comfort in the effort being put forth in resolving the aftermath of the attacks and the fear they caused. Recognizing his audience as being innocent victims of an unknown evil, President Bush ultimately had to present a speech that mastered various techniques

Also using ethos George W. Bush took the initiative to include a bible verse Psalm 23 and spoke of being comforted by a “Power greater than any of us.” He then states that God is with us, standing by the Americans though this horrible time. He also tried to appeal to our sense of patriotism and also tried to show his sympathetic side by talking about how great our country is and how it will not “dent the steel of American resolve” or even “touch our foundation.” With this speech’s strong appeal to pathos, it effectively drew an emotional response from the audience and they felt the hurt that the ones who lost loved ones in the attack were feeling.

Secondly, you have no witnesses whatsoever. Nobody you are gossiping with was actually there when it happened. If you really want to know what happened, ask the Holy Spirit.

In both of the speeches, the tone is full of grief and remembrance for those who were killed in the attack. However, the way this is expressed is different in both speeches. For instance, Bush states that this period of time was dark for all American's and that “Each of us will remember what happened that day, and to whom it happened”. This in turn describes this grief as nationwide, something that everyone in America felt sorrow for.

Since the speech is a state of the nation address, it did not contain a specific heading but it is made in order to give the condition in which the country is in. The main purpose of the speech is to inform. The speech is delivered by the head of state in order to inform the citizens (Americans) of the current and possible actions the government intends to take on critical issues of national security and governance.

In January 12, 2016, President Obama has given his final State of the Union Speech. In his speech, Mr. Obama addressed one of the major concerns that is happening in America today. One of the key terms that he addressed is the Changing Economy and how it is growing and he talks about the concerning terrorist threats from the Islamic States by mentioning about the United States effort to prevent global terrorism with this powerful speech: “When you come after Americans, we go after you, It may take time, but we have long memories, and our reach has no limit.”(President Obama addresses threats from the Islamic State, NY Times) Mr. Obama also mentions the issue about climate change and how over the years the weather has gotten even hotter and stated how developing clean energy sources is very important. Mr. Obama also address American Innovation by saying “Our unique strengths as a nation — our optimism and work ethic, our spirit of discovery and innovation, our diversity and commitment to the rule of law — these things give us everything we need to ensure prosperity and security for generations to come In fact, it’s that spirit that made the progress of these past seven years possible. it’s how we recovered from the worst economic crisis in generations” (Obama on American Innovation, NY Times) Obama also calls on congress to raise the national minimum wage and to led a national push for an increased minimum wage. He did support the minimum wage increases

Do you remember the tragedy of 9/11?Lot’s of people died and only a some people lived.I’m not here to talk about that though.I’m here because I want to talk about the good in 9/11.I’m not happy that 9/11 happened.I just wanted to know the good in it.

The speech I watched was presented by George W Bush, which he delivered in Washington D.C. in front of Congress and to a mourning and frightened nation, on September 21, 2001. Through a calm strength, the President reassured our fragile country and declared war on terror.

This is your President, Donald J. Trump. Today, we face the greatest threat of humanity: the FAKE NEWS media. As your President, I have no higher duty than to protect the lives of the American people from the FAKE NEWS media. They are going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred, trying to ruin the greatest presidency ever. Sad! Because I am so fond of the Constitution, especially the First Amendment, my team (Ivanka, Steve Bannon, Kanye West, and Vladimir Putin) and I are making this brochure to help you, the American people, understand which news outlet is FAKE NEWS and which news outlet is real news. Once we oust every FAKE NEWS media, we will only know the truth—the HUGE truth of how

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump wanted to attend the prayer vigil for the victims of the recent Orlando shooting, New Destiny Christian Center senior pastor Paula White has said.

Last Wednesday, 14 Americans were killed in San Bernardino. On December 6th, President Obama made a speech about this attack. This speech just angers me from the first sentence to the last sentence. President Obama made some good points in his speech, but I disagree with most of it. I believe that most of his statements in this speech are a lie.

On September 11, 2001, the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airplanes to launch suicide attacks on American Territory. Two airplanes crashed into the World Trade center towers, one crashed into the pentagon and the last crashed into a Pennsylvania field causing a death toll of 3,000 people. As a result of 9/11, foreign policies changed, military involvement in the Middle East increased and homeland security emerged. The Bush presidency focused primarily on dealing with the aftermath of the event and taking steps towards preventing future disasters. George W. Bush was only elected eight months prior to the incident that defined his career. President Bush authorized an operation to remove the Taliban government believed to have supported al-Qaeda and signed the Patriot Act to create the department of homeland security. His decisive response won him immense support of the people but the long-term economic consequences of the war on terrorism dropped his popularity.

My principal has asked George w. Bush to speak for our school and I think this is a great because he was our 43rd and i think the best president we have ever had he. Did a very good speach at our school about how we shouldn’t do drugs and it was so funny because we he was going up to the stage he almost fell.
