Introduction In Rhetoric In 1969, the Apollo 11 launch happened and became something rightfully important to the United States. It was the talk of every news stations and newspapers. These two men, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin had risked their lives to do something the whole world had not done before. They became the first men to walk the moon and this became something historical. After walking the moon they placed the American flag on it too and to this day it is still their. With all the newspapers talking about this, one that caught people’s eyes was the Man Takes First Steps on The Moon. The audience were the people who were concerned about the the first man landing into outer space. This was something abnormal at the time and nobody really had a clue how a human body can manage this. Also this event was used to see the improveJessica Sidon ment of human success and what they have been capable of doing. Regarding space, it wasn’t something that was really used, it was more like an illusion and seemed so close but far away at the same time. This text used ethos,and logos to support information about the moon’s success landing and provide it for the audience. For logos, the fact that a well-known newspaper publisher such as the Times wrote about it shows that it is a reliable source. Also that fact that the story was well-written and full of facts to make the audience believe it more. With pathos, the kind of emotion it was giving the audience was more of
The four texts that I have read seem to all use a variety of rhetorical appeals. After analyzing them, I noticed each had a speaker, an occasion, an audience, a purpose and a subject. Not only did they use “SOAPS” but they also used ethos, logos, and pathos to strengthen their speeches and to really connect with the audience. They proved that they’re credible, then they used sources and quotations and eventually they hit the audience with emotions.
Rhetoric can be used as a great way to convince an audience, but it has also helped many people become better writers. The use of rhetoric in writing is crucial because it 's what makes the source effective or ineffective, so that you are able to persuade the audience. Rhetoric is defined as, “the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing.” In order for the speaker to persuade the audience is using figurative language and the rhetoric appeals. Some appeals which consist of ethos, pathos, and logos. Each of these which is important in order to catch the audience attention. All these text are related to the 1969 Apollo mission which included: SOAPS,
On July 16, 1969, NASA launched a shuttle into space containing Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. They were going to be the first people to step foot on the Moon. This mission into the unknown caused a commotion on Earth. Many reputable news sources across the world created various sources about this event. These are weighted with the high emotions that ran through the world as well as the facts gathered as the brave men first put their footprints on the barren surface of the Moon. The creators of each peice used logos, pathos, and ethos to get the desired response from their audiences.
In this essay, President John F. Kennedy builds an argument to persuade his readers in investing in space exploration. Kennedy uses analogies and reasoning to build his argument towards investing in space exploration. Kennedy’s speech had a powerful impact on the decision whether to direct the resources of the United States toward the construction of a space program.
Authors, people and writers over time have used the available means of persuasion and making sure that they include what the rhetorical situation is. In the four texts about the 1969 Apollo 11 mission that talk about the first humans that landed on the moon, all were effective due to them showing ethos, pathos, logos and soaps which are the rhetorical appeals that one has to use when making an argument in a rhetorical situation.
On July 20, 1969, humanity did itself proud in spite of all its wars, sadism, hatred, and insanity. We set foot on another planet. Men walked on the moon. This changed our belief in what we could accomplish.
The first trip to the moon where mankind got to step foot in was a huge deal to the entire world. A total of four texts related to the 1996 Apollo 11 mission that landed the first humans on the moon will be analyzed. The purpose, the interaction with SOAPS and ethos, logos and pathos will be defined. Between the four texts two are effective and the other two will be ineffective.
It was on July 20, 1969 that Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon, and said his most famous words, "That 's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." 45 years later NASA calls the Apollo 11 missions one of the crowning achievements of the 20th century. Started after President Kennedy’s speech to send a man to the moon, NASA had to play catch up in order to beat the Soviet Union and become the first country to land a man on the moon.
In 1961, the United States of America was embroiled in the Cold War with the Soviet Union. This confrontation was taking place not only on land, sea and air, but in space as well. On May 25th, 1961 recently elected US President John F. Kennedy addressed a joint session of Congress, during which he outlined his now famous Man on the Moon challenge. It was through this ambitious dream that the creation of the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) came about, which President Kennedy challenged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Although he didn't live to see the achievement of his dreams, the United States successfully landed Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the moon on July 20, 1969 and
Everyday America thrives to make history, and when they do they surprise us and they surprise themselves. It was July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin had been the first men to step foot on the moon. Apollo 11 had began on July 16 they launched into the sky at 9:32 and into the Earth’s orbit, after one and half orbit they had the “go” or as they call it “Translunar Injection” meaning it’s time to head towards the moon. Three days go by and they enter the lunar orbit, another day has gone by Armstrong and Aldrin enter the lunar module (Eagle) ready to set off, while their companion Michael Collins orbits in the commanding module (Columbia). As we all know Neil Armstrong was the very first man to step foot onto to the moon with his famous quote “That’s one step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” but not many people know about Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin being the second man following after Armstrong. Man Takes First Steps on the Moon by Times as they describe every gesticulation and objects that is around them, giving the readers figures in their head. In Event of Moon Disaster by William Safire the speech was written in case of any astonishing demise while on the mission of Apollo
People believed that the great superiority and recognition that would come with being the first country to land on the moon was enough to prompt the United States government to fake the moon landing. Since the Soviet Union successfully launched the first space satellite, Sputnik, the United States didn’t want to be second again to people they had long competed with. When astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins took their first steps on the moon, it was a huge swell of national pride to most of America while simultaneously representing the defeat of other nations. Thus, people made irrational exSOMETHING SOMETHING PATHOS

In history, one of the greatest achievement known to mankind is the Apollo 11 moon landing. On July 20, 1969, the spaceflight known as the lunar module Eagle, landed the first three humans on the moon (NASA). The first human to step, and leave a footprint on the moon was mission commander, Neil Armstrong. Climbing down the ladder, the words that he said are still reminisced to this day, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind” (NASA). The other two who were also part of this accomplishment was the pilot, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins.
The two men set up a television camera, which caught Armstrong’s first movements on the moon. They then began collecting samples, and conducting scientific experiments. The astronauts also planted the American flag on the surface of the moon, a sign of America’s willingness to explore and develop new territories beyond Earth. Today marked a hallmark of the American dream and a triumph of modern
“This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” (Neil Armstrong). In the 1960s, the race began between America and the Soviet Union to see who could be the first to launch humans to the moon. Several years later, America achieved a goal that was believed unlikely and almost impossible a few years earlier. During the 1960’s Neil Armstrong changed the world and became an American hero.
