Rhetorical Analysis Of Jimmy Carterer

Two-hundred and nine thousand. That is the number of lives that were nobly given to save the many during the invasion of Normandy (D-day and the Battle of Normandy). The courageous men and women fought continuously for days on end, climbing the jagged cliffs of Normandy, France. Under rifle fire from gun nests from above, the allied troops were able to take control of the coastline, but not without great sacrifice. The speech given by Ronald Reagan was made to commemorate those who fearlessly fought for our country and the many thousands that gave their lives during those hard days of war. His speech had a clear message, to honor and remember those who gave and risked their lives during the invasion of Normandy.

Jimmy Carter is a well known Democratic president who served between 1977 to 1981 who strongly opposed opening the Arctic Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. His writing on the preservation of the refuge came after his term as president while new proposals were being put forward for drilling. Carter’s argument is very effective at encouraging the National Arctic Wildlife Refuge to be protected. Carter effectively uses logos, ethos, and pathos to construct a strong argument for the refuge to be preserved.

In his speech, “Remarks by the President in a National Address to America’s Schoolchildren,” Obama effectively argues his claim, that kids should go to school and try very hard to succeed to schoolchildren around the U.S. He effectively argues his claim because he uses supporting details and stories of students that have undergone tough situations, but still overcame those obstacles to succeed and school. Also, he is trying to tell kids that they should do well in school to get a good job and make a difference. He also uses rhetorical appeals to help with the supporting details. One of supporting evidence that he brought up was that if someone wants to become something such as a doctor, or lawyer you will need a good education to do

Due to the rapidly changing America, in his farewell address, Ronald Reagan expresses the need for unification of America, and America’s culture. In Reagan’s address, he uses many rhetorical devices to advance his purpose of unifying America, for instance, Reagan utilizes tone, syntax, and pathos to portray his pride, hopefulness, and patriotism for America. He uses these devices to show Americans of the unification America needs.

Ronald Reagan, the former 40th president of the United States died on June 5th of 2004. A couple of days later on the 11th, Margaret Thatcher the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, wrote an eulogy for Ronald Reagan. In this eulogy, Thatcher uses rhetorical strategies to convince her readers into believing what she states. She uses the strategies of parallelism, pathos and diction to get her message out and to help her reader receive it. And thus Thatcher can convince her readers into believing what she says.

President Barack Obama spoke his remarks at Howard University commencement ceremony for the class of 2016. This special moment in the speech is honoring people of color, especially African Americans and made history at this University, having the president to present his speech (Donnella). Obama explained how America was different when he graduated college and society is now accepting new cultures and backgrounds within today’s workforce and education. Obama wants the audience to take opportunities and learning new skills to expand their education.

I decided to read the “Crisis of Confidence” speech by President Carter, as I was in high school during this period of history. As a young man, during this period of history, I along with my peers, was too busy with life (school, work, volunteering, sports, and girls) to really pay attention, or watch, read or listen to anything of a political nature. I recall the general mood of displeasure of the times, but have blocked much of it from my memory, choosing like most people, to only remember the good times.

On the morning of Janurary 28th 1986, the world witnessed in shock and horror what was known as the Challenger disaster as the space shuttle exploded only 73 seconds after its launch, killing all seven crew members onboard including one teacher Christa McAuliffe. Approximately 17 percent of Americans watched the live broadcast of this launch, many of them schoolchildren including those from McAuliffe’s school. From this grave moment emerged an exigency that demands immediate action by the president. Later on that same day, President Ronald Reagan delivered his Challenger address to the nation.

In May of 2015 the United States former president, Jimmy Carter made an appearance at TEDWomen where he gave a speech. Most of the concepts Jimmy Carter gave in his speech revolved around the abuse of women, and their human rights. In his speech he achieved to inform his audience how severe this issue is in the United States, and other nations. In order to pass the message on sufficiently, he uses different rhetorical strategies. Carter proceeds to establish his credibility by stating facts from personal experiences, as well as historical events from other nations. Several times throughout his speech he gives statistics, showing the audience how well aware he is

On January 11, 1989, President Ronald Reagan sat at his desk in the Oval Office to address his nation for the final time. This rhetorical moment was not the first of its kind. Rather, the Farewell Address is a Presidential tradition, started by George Washington, that every president takes part in before leaving office. As a sort of “goodbye” to the nation, the President discusses the accomplishments of his administration while offering pieces of advice for the future. Washington warned against a government with an “unmoderated” political party system (Spalding 75), Ronald Reagan warned of the effects of an America devoid of patriotism.

Former President Barack Obama performed a speech in response to a mass shooting that happened in a community college in Oregon. This speech included other gun related incidents which occurred during his time in office in 2015 regarding Umpqua Community College and Roseburg. After giving his condolences and love to those who felt loss in their hearts, Obama gave a powerful argument regarding gun control and how we, as Americans, should fight and strive for better gun laws. While Obama gave a moving speech, I could not help but feel it fell short in its argument while conducting a thorough critique. Obama appealed to his audience utilizing pathos and ethos with ease but fell short for those in the audience looking for logos or specific facts within his performance. I will be taking this opportunity to delve further into an analysis of this speech and both its heights and pitfalls.

Ronald Reagan, in his speech, (“Berlin Wall”, 1987), the former governor and President of the United States and at the time of the Cold War, “ the most magnetic public figure in the nation”(encyclopedia.com) elucidates to his audience the consequences of residing under the influence of the Soviet Union. Reagan supports his assertion through the use of various rhetorical devices to generate logos, ethos, and pathos. His purpose is to incite a feeling of an injustice done to the people of Berlin and Soviet Allies and to bring down the Berlin Wall as “the most visible symbol of the decades-long Cold War”(History.com) between the Americans and the Soviets during the Cold War. Reagan writes in perfervid tone generated toward the people of Berlin and other Soviet allies in hopes of bringing the Cold War to an end and it is reported by CBS News that he successfully “bolstered the morale of the pro-democracy movement in East Germany”(Brinkley).

The organization that I have chosen to write about is Carter’s Inc., which includes the two children’s clothing stores Carter’s and OshKosh B’Gosh. I will primarily be talking about just Carter’s because that is the store that I work at but most information in this paper pertains to OshKosh as well. I have worked for this company for just over four years now and have learned a lot about how they run their business so the majority of the content in this paper will be from personal experience unless stated otherwise. Carter’s in the leading provider of children’s clothing and accessories in America, selling more than 10 products for every child born in the U.S., according to their website (History, 2016). Carter’s clothing ranges from size preemie all the way up to a children’s size 8, which is a recent move for the company. Before last year they had only gone up to a size 6X for girls and 7 for boys but due to popular demand and test stores selling the size well they went up to size 8. Carter’s was established in 1865, while OshKosh was established 30 years later in 1895. OshKosh was then acquired by Carter’s in 2005 (Brands, 2016). While OshKosh is now part of Carter’s Inc. that is the only thing that has changed for them, their distributers and their clothing are still the same. Carter’s and OshKosh make up over 600 retail stores while they’re also sold at thousands of national department stores. Carter’s Inc. also has four other brands: Just One You, Genuine Kids, Child

Barack Obama delivered his Presidential speech on November 4, 2008, in Great Park, Chicago. This selected speech is about his victory in the 2008 Presidential election. The speech was well put together and successful. This essay will explicate the tone as well as examples of his use of pathos and ethos which made his speech so successful.

Demetria had studied Carter's room for a few minutes, and after finding nothing in particular that she could be absolutely sure he wouldn't miss, she moved on. She figured she would find something else inside the large home to take. There was plenty there- she just wanted something personal. And then she would leave, and Carter would never know she was there at all. Sighing, Demetria slid softly off the bed, straightening her skirt and turtleneck before turning and making the bed once more, making sure it was as perfect and untouched as it had been before she'd entered. Slipping quietly out of the room, she listened for a moment at the bedroom door, trying to see if there was any sign of Carter being home. Nothing. Silence. Breathing a
