The Europe Divided Speech Analysis

The date is June 6th, 1984, and American President Ronald Reagan stands solemnly before a massive stone monument on what he calls "a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France." On this historic day, the President of the United States stands solemnly before a small crowd of some of the bravest men living. The men assembled before him know these cliffs well. These are the Rangers who scaled the cliffs 40 years ago to do more than win the cliffs on the shores of Normandy. These are the Rangers who began the retaking of the entirety of Europe from Axis Control. That was 40 years ago, now only 90 of the original 225 sit before him now. All that can be heard are the crash of the waves on beach below and the occasional cry of a seagull

In 1946, Winston Churchill gave his Iron Curtain Speech at the Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. He described that war and tyranny results in devastation and distress for families and declared that this had to be prevented. Churchill spoke about how Russia was set on expanding their empire and how the U.S. would have to intervene in Russia’s plans. Churchill also advised for the formation of a closer relationship between the U.S. and Great Britain in order to stop the expansion of communism. Churchill realized that the state of Europe after WWII was vulnerable to communist nations.

One of the reasons Churchill’s speech had such a huge impact on his audience was because of his tone. His tone is very sober, otherwise known as serious, but also very inspirational at the same time. Throughout his speech Churchill repeatedly states that we should not give up and that we should fight to end even if there is no chance of victory. After listening to the speech online the audience can feel how the soldiers, wives, mothers, fathers, husbands, children and everyone else who was listening at that moment in time found hope again for winning the war.

The world was thrust into an atomic debate when, on August 6th and 9th of 1945, U.S. President Harry S. Truman authorized the first and only use of nuclear weapons against Imperial Japan. This debate over the use of atomic power was solely focused on military applications of atomic energy until U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower restructured it to include the peaceful use of nuclear energy in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly “Atoms for Peace” in 1953. Eisenhower’s speech set the stage for a worldwide change of opinion on the possibility of peaceful nuclear power, that culminated with the establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and new U.S. directives on atomic technology. The effects of this new opinion on nuclear energy can be clearly seen by Japan’s quick adoption of atomic power after 1953, where Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” speech and subsequent Atoms for Peace program opened the floodgates to the establishment of Japan’s vast nuclear power industry by bringing the peaceful uses of nuclear power to the public’s eye, allowing civilians to participate in nuclear research, and permitting the sharing of U.S. nuclear technology with Japan.

In a total war, the home front must be entirely united to continue to fight and fund a war effort, and Churchill appeals to unity and patriotism. He asks the people of Britain to give what Churchill himself will be offering ‘“blood, toil, tears, and sweat”’ (32). If the Prime Minister can give his everything to fight in the war, it encourages the audience to want to participate as well. Churchill continues to appeal to unity through his use of words like ‘we’ and ‘our’ to unite the country with the government as they fight for one cause. By creating a ‘team’, they can effectively rally the audience into action. The public opinion may believe that the Germans are unstoppable, but Winston’s emotionally charged words that with total effort and war from all fronts with the support of God, the feat can be achieved (35). Because of the war, the Prime Minister conveys the necessity for “victory; victory at all costs; victory in spirt of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival” (38-40). By bringing the risk of destruction of the country should they fail, it further persuades the audience to want to give their all so they can win the war. After riling up the crowd with the emotionally charged pathos arguments, Churchill closes with a final remark: ‘“Come then, let us go

Moreover the USSR began to have impact in Eastern Europe. Leaders from the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union met to discuss what to do with Europe. They agreed for the

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Hardin County. Kentucky. He comes from a family that was neither wealthy of well recognized. Despite this, he had a longing for knowledge and worked very hard to be successful in his studies. His determination led him to become a self-trained lawyer who worked for the Illinois court circuit.

In the year 1847, Lincoln

Cole Jackson period 7 The time of sunshine or summer soldiers is now coming to an end as the colonies enter a time of action needed un order to continue this fight for independence against the British. During the time period, British government had been taxing the colonies for breathing practically. Colonists just withstood an eight-month winter toil in which they were unable to strike or fight back. Thomas Paine, seeing the ripe opportunity for action, called on colonists to form and build a militia to prove a point to the British and how serious colonists are about freedom. However, many people feared the idea of a militia as they felt this was a too bold and harsh decision to go against the British army. Throughout Crisis No. 1, Paine connects

     It was less than a year after war ended in Europe that Churchill revealed in his “Sinews of Peace” address that, “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent”. The Soviet Union became extremely

On October 28th, 2015, Lone Star College of Kingwood hosted an event called the human library. It was held on campus for students who were interested to participate. The human library was created for students to gain knowledge of obstacles individuals experienced in life, such as living in the south as a black woman in the 1950’s, being homeless, and being a religion that is frowned upon in society. The purpose of the event is to teach students about other cultures, social classes, and hardship. The speakers inform our generation their own personal experience rather than information in a text book.

The Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual center was able to collaborate and bring a really amazing author. As everyone welcomed Phil Klay, my first impression was that he was a very funny guy and that his speech was going to be enjoyable. Klay started telling the story of when he was an 11-year-old boy who liked to read books, not any kind of book a child would usually read, but one that involved martyrs. Such books told the stories of people and how they were saved from death. However, he mentioned how “God turned his head” and some woman was killed. Later on, Klay mentions his experience with a Chaplin who was a father of 5 children and tried to keep kids alive during battle and was forced to apply morphine to make their death less painful.

On Thursday, October 19th I found myself in the Brazos Valley African-American Museum to hear Kim Olson, a candidate for Texas Agricultural Commissioner. She was a woman of tremendous military stature and was truly one of the best public speakers I have had the honor of hearing. The subject of her speech covered many key points of modern agriculture and a few mentions of the modern political situation as a whole, especially in local government. Her potential platform as the Tex Ag Commissioner would allow her to go before congress and argue for the farm bill in Texas to be raised which would allow us to reach new heights of small farming in our great state. Along with this Kim picked at a few common misconceptions of locally grown food, and
