Former President of the United States, Gerald R. Ford gave a speech pardoning his predecessor, former President Richard Nixon, of all offenses against the United States that he may have committed during his presidency. The announcement was made live on September 8, 1974. The speech was written to persuade the country to agree with the pardoning of Nixon and forgive him for the crimes he had committed against his country. Ford states that “Theirs (Nixon’s Family) is an American tragedy in which we all have played a part. It could go on and on and on, or someone must write the end to it. I have concluded that only I can do that, and if I can, I must.” President Ford argued that the pardoning

Ford knows, “it is common knowledge that serious allegations and accusations hang like a sword over our former President’s head…” (Passage 2 Paragraph 15). This illustrates that Ford is aware of the fact that Nixon is no longer trusted and believes that Nixon has to resign for the betterment of the United States. What to do about Nixon is heavily disputed and Ford believes that, “only I can do that, and if I can, I must” (Passage 2 Paragraph 14). This shows that Ford knows the situation will get out of hand and he must get involved and make his executive decision and trust that the people will trust

Everything that has the potential great enough to change a generation has equal potential to greatly harm society and the future of many. Anything and everything that has a negative effect to one person has the ability to benefit another person greatly. A prime example of this is within politics. Doug Ford is basing his 2018 political campaign off of the harm that many believe comes from the use of specific items that are an asset to living normally in today’s society. It may not come as much of a surprise that within politics as well as campaigns, candidates will say or do anything that sounds even remotely pleasing to the public. The thought of banning cellular devices is extremely appealing to many parents and adults as they are lead to believe that

The year 2017 signifies the sesquicentennial anniversary of Canada. Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia united 150 years ago to form the Dominion of Canada, also known as the Canadian Confederation (Government of Canada, 2017). Canada commemorates the law of 1867 that declared the four colonies an independent nation (Government of Canada, 2017). The remaining provinces and territories joined the Dominion in the following years. The 150th significant event has been promoted by the Canadian government as “Canada 150.” The Canada 150 celebration offers many opportunities for Canadians to grow closer together and honour “shared values, achievements, [the] majestic environment and [the] country’s place in the world” (Government of Canada,

2. The speaker is not yet desperate. Although Clinton was arguably border-line desperate, he had been acquitted of charges and simply needed to get America to forget and forgive. 3. The speaker is committed. Clinton was committed to himself, his family, and his country. 4. The audience is open to change. (Hart 41-43) Everyone is capable of forgiveness. Clinton believed that he could salvage some reputation and gain if not the forgiveness of the nation, then at least the acceptance. Clinton interacts with his audience in this speech on several levels.

It was just normal night of me and a group of friends at dinner. We just ordered our food so the whole table was discussion involving events that occurred during the week. The conversation lead to sports and Austin made a controversial statement by saying that Tom Brady was an overrated quarterback and he wouldn’t be close to the player he is without his teams’ system. That comment triggered Christopher who is a die-heart Tom Brady fan. Christopher then went on a rant how Tom Brady was the greatest quarterback of all-time. He defended Brady by saying: “Without Brady there is absolutely no way that the Patriots would have won four Super Bowl’s. Before Brady was the quarterback for the Patriots they had never won a Super Bowl.” Austin then responded explaining how he believed that Tom Brady benefited for playing under head coach Bill Belichick arguably the greatest coach of the

The Contrary Nature of the Ideas Simultaneously Promoted in Urban II’s Speech What Urban puts forth as the main problem in this text is the increase of impiety among his people. His solution to this seems to be sending these people off for the Crusades. Urban says that a death on this way will result in an “immediate remission of sins”. Contrastingly,Urban also asks, “If anyone hates peace,how can he make others peacable?”.

In apology, he despises the juvenile orator that gets the better of us and instead he advocates for the use of words and arguments with one and only one goal in mind: telling the truth. In doing so, his philosophy is builds upon knowing and defining the meaning of words and not poetical interpretations that are ear-pleasing but empty of content.
