The Survivor Story Of President Barack Obama And President Obama's War

December 14, 2012 was a heartbreaking day for America, as twenty children and six adults lost their lives in a school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. Two days later, President Barack Obama addressed the nation with an interfaith prayer vigil at Newtown High School to help remember those who had lost their lives, and also to convince the nation that changes need to be made. Obama asked America to make an effort to prevent future tragedies such as this one by caring for our children and using our power to help those around us. Through the use of eulogy, appealing to emotions, and structure, the speech attempts to persuade its audience, America, to make an attempt to avoid future tragedies in order to protect our citizens and to help make America a safer place.

Famine has lead these people on to seek refuge in multiple different countries. This is usually done illegally, by sneaking through borders, creating fake passports, and lying. What the author in this story is trying to get at is everyone from the richest of the rich to the poorest of the poor deserve a safe, secure, place to call home. No one will have a safe place to call home if we can't learn to collaborate and try honestly to make peace with one another. Syria may be this way due to the fact that putting weaponry above resources is habit, the leaders of Syria were raised to believe this is the way it should be and this habit will be passed down for generations and generations just like it has in the past. Any middle eastern country fueling against America could be a prime example against what the author is trying get across. In interpreted words, the author mentions the Soviet Union tearing down the Berlin Wall to try and unite diversified people. This is a main point that is brought up again, peace. You're only going to get somewhere by making an effort, you're only going to solve a problem if you make an effort to fix it.

The president appeals primarily to pathos by listing ordinary people who fell victim to “deadly terrorist attacks.” He draws upon the audience’s feelings of anger and sorrow by including “moms and dads, friends and neighbors” among the murdered. President Bush details the efforts of different parts of the government to guarantee safety and stability. He guarantees his audience that everything possible is being done to find the terrorists who were responsible for the attacks. Also, the president shows pathos by saying this “Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened.”

Imagine this. You’re rapidly fleeing your home country, sprinting as your life depended on it, which it did. The memories of the terrible war, still pounding in your head. The piercing roar of the gunshots. The gruesome red blood, glistening in the sunlight. You need to go, go to a free country, a land where everything is safe and sound, and not demolished like your home. You need to go, you need to leave Syria.

It is ambiguous as to how President Barrack Obama shapes our politics in terms of our political regime, but it can be determined through the present outcomes of his leadership today. In The Politics Presidents Make, by Stephen Skowronek, describes that there is a life-cycle of inaugurated presidents through the history of the United States. A political regime is defined as a full cycle of presidents that induce change in our politics until it is repeated again. Through this, it is possible to determine where President Obama would stand in our political time. Skowronek also mentions four leadership categories in which past presidents are placed in: politics of reconstruction, politics of disjunction, politics of

President Obama’s tactics in Syria is much different than President’s Bush’s tactics in Iraq. In August 2013, Obama seeked Congress approval on military action in Syria after the Syrian government used chemical attacks that killed over a thousand innocent civilians. On September 11, 2013, military action was placed on hold

As a normal American citizen, we are not accustomed to being forced out of our homes and having to live as nomads like the people of Syria have been living like since the Arab spring of 2011 the event that started what is now known as The Syrian Civil War. This war has literally been tearing apart Syria and displacing 6.3 million people (Mercy corps). This crisis affects a lot of Syrian individuals including one Doaa Al Zamel. In the book “A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea” we get a firsthand account of what life was like before the start of the war and also a view during the civil war and gives insight to life in the current state of Syria. Doaa’s life in “A Hope More Powerful Than the Sea” had her moving around the Middle East for most of her early adulthood. Throughout her moves to different parts of the Middle East she had many experiences both good and bad. The government, daily life in the Middle East, and family problems that arose during the moves affected Doaa’s life greatly.

Kristof’s starts out by proving to the readers that Syria does indeed have a serious problem and that the civilians are not only struggling to live but are scared for their lives. “ ‘I am very afraid I will die tonight’ ‘This bombs will kill me now’” (Par 3). These quotes are from victims and they are clearly explaining that are unsure if they will even survive. Showing examples like this made me, and potentially other readers feel a sense of sorrow that makes you realise something needs to be done in order stop what is happening.

In Obama’s Wars, the author brings out the most intimate portrait of the president as Commander in Chief. Woodward tells the inside story of how Obama makes crucial decisions related to the Afghanistan War, the worldwide fight against terrorism, and the secret campaign in Pakistan. By the use of classified documents, internal memos, meeting notes and also hundreds of hours of interviews with several key players such as top generals, diplomats and government officials, not excluding the president himself, he illustrates the critical role of the president in several wars. In his crucial outline of the story, Woodward uncovers information and insights in Obama Wars that is impartially known, covering reports on the internal debates over President

The author tries to persuade her readers of how important the wars in Syria is by using many great techniques. One being the photo of the young boy who was involved in the air strike and the other way by using intellectual sources from all over including journalists, reporters and many other credible sources to back up her argument. Gharib also uses pathos by posting the video of the child in the ambulance sitting there with blood and wounds all over his body, which for most people would trigger some emotions.

On August 4, 1961, a young African American boy was born in the state of Hawaii. Being raised by both his mother and father, this young protegee would grow up to attend Harvard University and be elected into Congress. However, it wasn’t until November 4, 2008 that this unique individual had finally broke through the trials of history. On this very day, Senator Barack Obama officially became the first African American president of the United States. This incredible individual was finally able to break through the trials of history and open a new path for our the American society. Even though Barrack had just been appointed into office, he was still able to successfully carry out his roles as Chief Diplomat and Commander in chief.

Russia's intervention to support the regime says they are fighting isis but really they are targeting innocent civilians. In Aleppo, two barrel bombs were dropped in a small village with about 10 houses. The first bomb left a number of people injured; but the second one killed lots of people. In the film we met a man named Khalid Farah who has been apart of the white helmets for 3 years. He said that anyone who is killed or injured is treated as if it was his own son, because everyone should have the equal care. Teams of white helmets would leave Syria and go to southern turkey for a month and gain experience, so they could go back and teach their colleagues. We also met a man in the film who crossed the border and said it was a whole new world. This man would see planes in the sky and said if he was back home the planes would be dropping bombs. I learned that Syria is a very dangerous place for just innocent people. One of the questions I had during the film was why don't the people in Syria just leave, since Syria is only getting worse? In the film they say Syria was bad but now it's getting worse so why don't they just leave? Another question I had during the film is why do the volunteers continue what they do after all the people who have been killed in the line of

The Syrian Crisis began almost three years ago. Since then, the killings, the bombings and the fleeing haven’t stopped. Obama’s administration was blamed for letting

The schools, and medical centers have been targeted with barrel bombs. The argument regarding the act of how they were going to respond to the attacks has deeply divided the international community. The Syrian genocide is similar to the Holocaust because during both events

Obama began his speech by reminding the American people of the tragedy they went through almost a decade ago. He establishes pathos with the audience by stating “And yet we know the worst images are those that were unseen to the world. The empty seat at the dinner table. Children who were forced to grow up without their mother or their father. Parents who would never know the feeling of their child’s embrace. Nearly 3,000 citizens taken from us, leaving a gaping hole in our hearts” (Source.1). This pathos demonstrates the struggle of all vulnerable Americans who have ever had something or someone taken away from them; because most Americans know what it is like to miss someone Obama makes his audience deal with this feeling of vulnerability which makes one want to listen to Obama even more for guidance Although his words are pure, he is aware that the lives of many were changed by the events that took place on September 11th; he says this for a different purpose. Obama sets up his
