Mount Rushmore Speech

Isabella Baumfree was her real name, but she was known as Sojourner Truth. She was an African American born into slavery, but escaped to freedom in 1826. Years later, she joined the Northampton Association of Education and Industry. “Founded by abolitionists, the organization supported a broad reform agenda including women's rights and pacifism” “Sojourner Truth”. I included this to show how involved she was. She wanted to make a difference and the only way to do that was to get involved with the people who are in charge. She had strong beliefs supporting women’s rights. Abolition was one of the few changes she addressed throughout her life that she could actually witness happen. Sojourner Truth grew up in a place where everyone was not

In the speech, Day of Infamy, FDR talks about the events of Pearl Harbor. FDR talks about how the US is now entered into World War II basically because of this event, he tells that the US is going to war with Japan specifically at first. He is explaining to the Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and and the House of Representatives what conclusion he has come up with. He uses rank in the government to show that he knows what he is talking about. Mostly FDR is trying to get the people in the room on his side with facts, and emotion backing him in more ways than one.

VI. When I was born he taught me to be the strongest person I could be and to do my absolute best at everything I try.

When you hear the quote “old soldiers never die they just fade away” you'll think of him and all of the good things he did for us and what a hero he really is. He served in both of the wars and ran for presidency.

Language plays a crucial role in the development of power. Famous personalities in the United States use rhetorical devices to emphasize a specific point and make it clear to the audience. President Thomas Jefferson is a Democratic-Republican and won the election of 1800. In 1801 he presented his inauguration speech and was significant because it was the first time in the history when the power shifted from one party to the other. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as an American minister and played an active role in the civil rights movement. John F. Kennedy delivered his speech during his inauguration in order to develop relations with the Soviet Union and end Cold War. All the speeches were delivered by most known personalities and made use of rhetorical devices such as allusion and repetition to make their message memorable in the hearts of the citizens of America.

This was not addressed when Mount Rushmore was constructed, and because of this the monument is tainted from its original purpose of honoring former United States presidents. “It is bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all over them too?” Source C questions, enlightening the reader on the blemished past of Mount Rushmore, and how the placement of such a monument is wholly disrespectful (Source C). The planners of Mount Rushmore failed to recognize the faux pas of defacing the land of people who were disregarded by those to whom this monument is dedicated. Though a group may deem a historical figure or event as worthy for memorialization, when monuments are constructed paying no heed to placement, the original gesture can often be in

Every president has a specific vision on how to influence America with their policies. Being the only president to resign from the presidency makes one wonder “what did Nixon want to accomplish as president.” During, every president’s first term, they have to figure out how to navigate the office. The inaugural speech, usually, gives the American people an idea of what the president plans to do, for America. As president, Nixon accomplished many things and strived to fulfil the promises in his inaugural speech.

At a time of hardships, a generation who had lived a life of war and troubles came together to celebrate the inauguration of the 35th president of the united states. The three pieces analyzed use different methods to portray what exactly went on on that cold January day, but managed to impact the readers and portray John F. Kennedy the same way. His inauguration speech uses different rhetorical terms and Ethos as a method of persuasion. The article Inside Kennedy´s Inauguration by Eleanor Clit on the other hand, uses Pathos to give an emotional connection. Finally the photo, credited to the United States Army Signal corps uses imagery to capture that historical moment. Regardless of what method they each used they all manage to portray him the same way. As a respected, strong, brilliant and transcendent human being. Each of the three sources, uses unique methods such as ethos, pathos and imagery to portray a similar legacy of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

In the Black Hills of South Dakota, there is a monument that is dedicated to four of the most influential figures in American history. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt are names that still to this day trigger thoughts of greatness and awe-inspiring men. All four of these men were presidents of the United States. They each had a signature style or brought a particular ideal the American forefront. George Washington was known as the "father of our country." Thomas Jefferson co-authored the Declaration of Independence. Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address and the Emancipation Proclamation. Theodore Roosevelt fought for the little man, was known for his brashness, and

Brief summary of speech - Ronald Reagan’s address is a commemorative speech meant to honor the victims of the Challenger disaster and bring hope to a nation facing tragedy by encouraging the continuation of space travel. According to our textbook, a commemorative speech is “When we speak to praise, memorialize, or celebrate...a person, event, or idea” (Houck, ch. 4). In this speech, Reagan’s main focus is to memorialize the victims of the Challenger disaster, but he also aims to celebrate and praise their dedication to exploration.

presidents were carved into the side of Mount Rushmore. The head sculptor, Gutzon Borglum, decided to take charge on the National Memorial in 1929. George Washington was selected because he led the colonists in the American Revolution which gave America its start. Thomas Jefferson was chosen since he was a primary author of the Declaration of Independence and expanded American when he bought the Louisiana Purchase. Theodore Roosevelt was picked as he “developed” American by rapid economic growth in the 20th century; including the construction of the Panama Canal. Finally, Abraham Lincoln chosen because he brought the separated country together during the Civil War and ended slavery in the South. The majority of the memorial was created by dynamite and then a projection of the presidents were put on the mountain and traced with white paint. Mount Rushmore had a huge impact on Black Hills because it got tourist to come visit and profit the state of South Dakota. To this day, Mount Rushmore is still a powerful and historical memorial in United States

“The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our disposition not our circumstances,” once said by Martha Washington the first First Lady in history. In the White House, there have been many different personalities, and families living there. Including forty four first ladies and their families. Each woman has had many different responsibilities and pressures throughout their lifetime (Waldrup 1).

Freedom, throughout time has changed in many forms and ways depending on the skin-tone and race of one another. After the war with the British for American independence, Native Americans suffered from the post war effects due to the fact that many people will be colonizing into America. Many Native Americans will be negatively affected by this because of how they live their lives. Many will see the Native Americans as “savages” because of their style of eating, way of sleeping, their language and etc. In the “Speech at Fort Randall”, a speech by Sitting Bull, reflects on the meaning of freedom for his people. Bull argues that everyone has a different way of living and that people should just accept the fact that everyone has their own preference
