Our fortieth president, Ronald Reagan, spoke eloquently for many years on many different subjects and on the eve of March 4, 1987 he put on one of the finest performances of his life. Despite having just admitted to his administration knowingly circumventing the Congress and trading arms for hostages, he persuaded the American people to believe that he was genuinely sorry for his subordinates actions, and honestly seeking to reorganize and fix the issues that had caused this problem by “taking action in three basic areas: personnel, national security policy, and the process for making sure that the system works.” Through effective use of logos and ethos Reagan was able to rebound from what people would call a blunder and become one of the…
Ronald Reagan’s speech, Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate, was intended to provoke a sense of unity throughout Germany. After experiencing tensions that arose into a war between Eastern and Western alliances, there needed to be a resolution to restore security. President Reagan sternly demanded the barrier between the East and West be torn down, however, his oration also encouraged freedom and hope for the nation. In his speech, he expanded on his beliefs of the potential of Germany. He noted in order to establish unity, citizens needed to be educated and open-minded. He also stated that Berlin should consider hosting the Olympic games, a symbol of world unity. President Reagan’s speech offered inspiration to unify the Eastern and Western blocs…
The building of a barrier would sufficiently quell the tide of fleeing refugees, as well as prevent East German residents from seeking employment outside the East German workforce. The East German leaders knew this, and thus, secretly planned and later carried out the construction of such a barrier. In addition to solving the refugee crisis, the construction of a barrier also prevented the nuclear war brewing between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union’s main reason for demanding that the Western Powers remove their troops from East Berlin stemmed from their unhappiness over the emigration of their East German citizens. With this wall no more emigration would be possible, therefore eliminating the reason the nuclear war threat was made in the first…
On the 40th anniversary of D-Day, Ronald Reagan stood on the northern coast of France to commemorate the veterans that served, and expressed the importance of unity between the allies of the United States. Reagan is diligent in his efforts, and effectively incorporates imagery and pathos to communicate the significance of the sacrifices made, as well as the determined and unstoppable machine that America had come to be. In the introduction of the passage, Reagan embodies the extensive pride for America due to its successes and victories, as shown on line one of paragraph one, “We’re here to mark that day in history when the Allied armies joined in battle to reclaim this continent to liberty.” The line, “…this continent to liberty,” infers the prosperity of North America that is rich in its own freedom and independence.…
Ronald Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall by giving a powerful speech. He gave the speech on June 12, 1987. The speech called out the leader of the Soviet Union to open the barrier that divided West and East Berlin.

The speech at the Brandenburg Gate gave insights to what could happen if they took down the wall and connected the county as one. President Ronald Reagan gave a speech to persuade the people of the community to let it become one. This Would allow people to see their families, communicate and share ideas.

Reagan gave a thirty minute speech to persuade the people it was a good idea for this to happen, Reagan was taking a risk by giving this speech because it was a risk for both sides because it could have turned into something worse.…
Berlin is one old historic and beautiful place that is 500 years older than our nation. There are more reasons that the president's visit Berlin than just to give a speech. There were three other presidents that have made a trip to Berlin to talk to the citizens of Berlin. This is Reagan’s second time going to Berlin and he is going to talk about the Brandenburg Gate to Western Europe. The reason that Reagan is talking to the citizens is because he wants the Brandenburg Gate to be open. He was trying to persuade Mr. Gorbachev to open the gate and tear down the wall. He just wants to see Western and Eastern Europe become open to each other again.…
Again the country is tied to Reagan all grieving a common loss. “For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss and we’re thinking about you so very much.” This provides the country with an emotional connection to those affected, by sending condolences and reminding the country to do the same he links them on a personal level. He appeals to the mournful emotions of the country by admitting that he and Nancy are “pained to the core,” that today is a “day for mourning and remembering,” and that the tragedy is “truly a national loss.” Reagan’s expression of emotion conveys a calming tone that reassures the Nation that their grief is both understandable and proper.…
(“Ronald Reagan”) Just 69 days into his presidency, Reagan became the first president to survive an assassination attempt. After the event, Reagan’s popularity rose to a high of 73 percent. Perhaps Reagan’s greatest act as president came in his second term, when he helped end the Cold War. Reagan gave a speech at the Berlin Wall in 1987, in which he challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, saying, “"General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" In November 1989, the Berlin Wall was torn down, and the Cold War was officially declared over at the Malta Summit on December 3,…
“I would rather see my little girls die now, Still believing in God, Than have them grow up under communism And one day no longer believing in God.” (227) What became known as ‘Reaganism’, Ronald Reagan made an attempt at taking his conservative views to the heart of the United States of America; for his main tactics, the 0 of rational thinking. Exaggerations, use of stories, and recollecting on the past (which many citizens look to in awe) all create an influential ring to each of his speeches. Ideas of achievements in the past accompanied by inspirational quotes composed a large quantity of his speech; today, our current president, Donald Trump, applies the same tactic by preaching the former greatness of America.…

On September 14, 1986, President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan delivered their “Just Say No” address to the nation. Reagan warned parents against drug dealers who were “plot[ting]...to steal our children’s lives.” This speech came after several years of President Reagan’s administration's War on Drugs that utilized the media and congressional and military action to reduce drug use. His administration created a “national crusade” that treated drug use as an attack on society that required a military reaction. Ronald Reagan’s crusade had the consequence of creating a climate for discriminatory congressional legislation and law enforcement.…
