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

As one of the most pivotal moments in American history, Abraham Lincoln initiating the civil war has far reaching consequences. However, as important as these consequences are the reasons for fighting the war; and the persistence/heart to endure the war. I believe that Lincoln started the war with the intentions of preserving the union, but as the war went on a new reason came to be -- ending slavery.

In his book The Gathering Storm, the Western democracies “need only to repeat the same well-meaning, short-sighted behavior towards the new problems which in singular resemblance confront us today to bring about a third convulsion from which none may live to tell the tale” (https://www.historyonthenet.com/winston-churchills-iron-curtain-speech-predicting-the-cold-war/). people were unsure if the United States would continue to play the part of the land of the free world or if it would become allies with Britain and other Western European nations against the Soviet Union. After the United States victory over Japan, Churchill knew the U.S. was looking forward to peace. Using this to his advantage, Churchill knew his speech would give the nation a warning. Although some people understood the intentions of the Soviet Union, many Americans still saw the Communist dictator as their ally. This was a difficult transition for the Americans to go from believing the Soviet Union was an ally to a very dangerous

In Ronald Reagan’s speech, “remarks at the Brandenburg Gate” the 40th President Reagan discusses the positive qualities and aspects of the democratic system of government in America at the time. Reagan also challenges the Soviet Union as well as their communism and calls for Berlin to unify once again. Attempting to spread the ideology to those in Berlin, as well as the world, and convince the people there should have been a transition from Communism to Democracy, Reagan takes advantage of multiple appeals as well as an inspirational and hopeful tone. Reagan also made many very smart, conscious decisions regarding not only his appeals but also his choices of delivery, historical context, use of language, and timing, and audience. Utilizing these aspects allowed Reagan to give one of the most memorable and effective speeches in history.

"38 Who Saw Murder and Didn't Call the Police," is a true report about a woman named Kitty Genovese,who was stabbed multiple times by a man named . The strange thing about this murder is the fact that multiple people saw it happen, yet failed to call the police. The predetor was scared off multiple times by people's lights in their windows, and voices, but he came back each time to finish off the murder.

Literature began to change drastically in post-revolutionary America. Newspapers, books, and other material got influenced by the newly created democracy. Different interest groups appeared and they attempted to shape the government according to their ideas and visions of democracy. A New Yorker born in 1783 by the name Washington Irving was raised in this world of democratic fanaticism. Growing up in this type of atmosphere it wasn’t surprising that he came to be a political satirist. In Rip Van Winkle this satirical nature of Irving clearly shines through. He mockingly compares the colonial life under the rule of the British against democratic life in a new and young United

The Berlin Wall had been in place for 26 years. Increasing unrest was occurring in Berlin, and at this crucial time Ronald Reagan, as several presidents had done before him, traveled to the Brandenburg Gate, seen by most as the symbolical center of the wall. On June 12, 1987, he then spoke of peace between the USSR and the Western world, while motivating Berliners to help take down the wall and come together as a nation once more. Throughout the speech “Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate”, by Ronald Reagan, he makes use of imagery as well as appeals to ethos and pathos to incite the German people to rise up and destroy the Berlin Wall, reunifying Germany.

Evaluating the speech through social movement studies is particularly fascinating because the speech embodies a strong position in a political conflict. Delivered during the Cold War, the speech stood politically for Western Bloc and ideologically for freedom.

Thursday afternoon my teacher told us a storm was coming and we were probably gonna still go to school. The rain started pouring and it wouldn’t stop. It turned out that this storm was coming from Hurricane Harvey. Tons of water began to fill the streets in my neighborhood; I had never seen the water rise so high because of a storm. Friday night I received a video of my aunts house. Water entered her house flooding it up to her thighs, my baby cousins room was filled with dirty water. I was afraid for many reasons, this was happening to one of my family members. My aunt has a daughter that recently won a battle against cancer and the fact that dirty water got into her room scared me. She is only 3 and could easily get sick, but thank God my

His life is an example of his spirit, overcoming the difficulties with which he was presented, and making himself stronger as a result of it. Churchill was a more than just a great speaker though; he was a great man and a great leader as well. He took over as Prime Minister of Britain during one of the most trying times ever to come upon the country, and led his country to eventual victory over their adversaries. The analysis of his speech allows one to come closer to understanding the true rhetorical genius of the man known as Churchill. In particular,

Winston Churchill was a powerful leader for Britain in WWII and made many large decisions on their involvement and strategies. Known for being very confident, having a fiery temper and a caustic wit, he captivated his followers. Although his rebellious nature gave him a lot of enemies, he used it to his advantage and possessed all the traits of a great leader. Before Churchill became Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain was in command of England. Chamberlain was not as strong of a personality, and gave in to all of Germany’s demands of giving up territory in order to keep the peace.

Churchill begins “We Shall Never Surrender” by providing vivid descriptions of the life and environment of war to describe the hardships, then follows up with showing that the strength that the troops had together helped them overcome specific events. He continues to use repetition to emphasize the importance of staying together and not losing hope in order to provide small victories, one at a time. Churchill’s courage to speak up during such a disturbing time helped assist the nations morality by providing hope and encouragement in the bloodshed time of war. When a nation felt defeated Winston Churchill used his powerful voice in “We Shall Never Surrender” to lift the nation’s spirits

Churchill helped lead a successful allied strategy with the USA and the Soviet Union to defeat
