Ronald Reagan's 'Tear Down This Wall'

We had a different speaker every night, each talking about different values and how they expect to see us in leadership positions in about 20 years. Jay Nixon is probably my most memorable speaker because he had a lot of stories that talked about the lessons he learned in his life and his political career.

Intro: Tear down the walls! Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" and Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" both talk about how walls separate people from each other, but they talk about different walls and different ideas. Those walls create a physical, as well as a mental barrier for the narrator and neighbor in Robert Frost's "Mending Walls" and Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" that hinders the characters from relating to each other in a certain way. Although the style and tone of these two authors are very similar, they are speaking of two different things. Ronald Reagan and Robert Frost share many points in their papers.

Abraham Lincoln was known as one of those men as he had written his own speeches and and would edit them often. He also had the voice for it as his voice was loud even that the majority of the audience could hear him. As later on in his life, when he was running for president, “on February 27, 1860, Lincoln gave what was perhaps the most important speech of his political career” and would become the icon for having amazing speeches(Phillips 147). This would seem as if he had a gift for public speaking, and this was the case, as from being a boy who wanted to be a lawyer to becoming the 16th president of the United States. All of which from having the ability of great public speaking, an excellent characteristic of

There have been many presidents come in and out of office, doing a mediocre performance, but one president who grabbed the hearts of many and truly made an impact, was non other than Ronald Wilson Reagan. This man, as president, transformed the idea of government and helped encourage the Soviet Union to end the Cold War. Not only this, but Reagan also embodied the true All-American guy, not just with his crooked smile and boy-like charm, but through his outstanding ability as a Hollywood actor and president, later demonstrating and uplifting the idea of American Conservativism. In a nutshell, Ronald Reagan was what one could say, quite intelligent, military minded, and very loyal his country, the United States of America, and this is all learned through the biography, Ronald Reagan, by Jules Tygiel, and edited by Marc C. Carnes.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" n June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan spoke the people of West Berlin at the base of the Brandenburg Gate, near the Berlin wall. Due to the amplification system being used, the President's words could also be heard on the Eastern (Communist-controlled) side of the wall. The address Reagan delivered that day is considered by many to have affirmed the beginning of the end of the Cold War and the fall of communism. On Nov. 9-11, 1989, the people of a free Berlin tore down that wall. The tearing of the wall represting the reuniting of Germany.

Reagan’s ‘Tear Down the Wall’ speech – Ronald Reagan’s “Tear Down the Wall” speech commanded Mikhail Gorbachev to dismantle the Berlin Wall, which divided Berlin between the Capitalist West and Communist East. A point of comparison that can be drawn between this speech and another is Booker T. Washington’s Alabama Exposition Address. In Washington’s speech, he discusses how African Americans would be dedicated workers alongside whites if whites “cast down” their buckets to African Americans to help them to find work. In Washington’s mind, allowing African Americans to have economic prosperity would, in turn, allow them to finally be free. This is similar to the fall of the

President Reagan understood that it's time to end this 30 year battle between East Germany and West Germany. in 1998 he announced that the USSR will not come in disturbance any more or at all in Eastern Europe.

Presenting a speech can have it difficulties, whether it is you not having a loud speaking voice or nervousness, you still have to have the ability to deliver a great speech to your audience. On January 20, 1961 over 49 years ago our late President John F. Kennedy presented the Inaugural Address, in Washington D.C. The weather was very cold, and it was one of the largest crowds at the Inauguration.

William Lutz and Russell Conwell are the two rhetoric speakers I have chosen. Conwell, a very intelligent, religious, and ambitious man, wrote a remarkable speech and read it thousands of times to thousands of people. Raising thousands of dollars, he used that money to build Temple University. With such a compelling speech, he encountered many people who enjoyed his work and his words are still remembered to this day. Conwell connects with audience on an emotional level, he almost befriends his audience. Talking to them as if they are on the same level, no matter who they are, almost as if they were his friend. For example, he uses words like “friends” and “our”,

The best speaker that I have ever heard is Bishop TD Jakes. Jakes is a Preacher, father, husband, teacher, very successful business man, movie producer and launched a syndicated talk show. There are several reasons why I believe that he is one of the best speakers that I have ever heard. One reason is that he is a man of great integrity. Although he is fallible his character speaks volume without him even uttering a word. Another reason he is such a prolific speaker is because of his ability to be led by his faith and thinks outside the box consequently producing a greater but new learning experience. George Bush describes TD Jakes as a kind man who puts faith into action. I am sure that he has attended many communication classes. However
