    Rhetorical Analysis Of Ronald Reagan's Speech 'Evil Empire'

    “There is sin and evil in the world, and we’re enjoined by Scripture and the Lord Jesus to oppose it with all our might,” states Reagan. The use of the words we and our unites Reagan and his audience. He quotes the Founding Fathers which show that America was built by men that were God-fearing. He also states that there are “a great many God-fearing, dedicated, noble men and women in public life”. These statements make strong appeals to the audience. Reagan uplifts the audience which heightens their emotions and makes them more receptive in supporting…

    Ronald Reagan Rhetorical Analysis

    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…

    Nancy Reagan's Inaugural Address

    On Friday, March 11, 2016 my unit, Ben Morrell Battalion, and I arrived at Nancy Reagan’s funeral at around 0700 to honor the guests attending. We were stationed around the front entrance waiting for the guests to arrive. When the guests arrived, we snapped to attention and stood there until they had passed. I did not know who most of the guests were that passed us, but we did have the honor to greet Newt Gingrich and his wife, Larry King, and Tom Selleck. We alternated from at ease to attention for about two hours for the guests. When all of the guests had arrived, we witnessed the motorcade carrying the First Lady, former first ladies, and our former President. It was an honor to see and be in the presence of our country’s leaders. In between…

    Rhetorical Analysis Of President Reagan's Speech

    I choose this speech because I remember this tragedy and I currently live in the Space Coast of Florida where NASA is located, so it is of great interest to me. President Reagan gained the attention of the audience by foregoing the planned state of the union address and explaining he was only going to discuss the subject of the tragedy that occurred earlier that day only, helping to emphasize the severity of what occurred. The purpose of this speech was to show compassion to a nation that has great pride in the space program and to encourage those who might be feeling disheartened and discouraged about it all. He reminded us of the dangers of space exploration and the tremendous courage the crew possessed to take on the endeveor in spite of the risks and that we should all draw comfort from that, they knew what the possibilities were and for the sake of knowledge and the hopes of advancing technology they jumped in feet first and accepted these risks.…

    Ronald Reagan's Farwell Speech Analysis

    President Reagan's prediction of the collapse of Soviet communism had come true. America and its allies had prevailed in the Cold War. President Reagan's policies of preserving peace through strength and promoting the advancement of democracy around the world significantly contributed to this victory. President Reagan’s Farwell Speech summed up his achievements well, he says "The way I see it, there were two great triumphs, two things that I'm proudest of. One is the economic recovery...The other is the recovery of our morale. America is respected again in the world and looked to for leadership...They called it the Reagan Revolution. Well, I'll accept that, but for me it always seemed more like the great rediscovery, a rediscovery of our values and our common sense...The lesson of all this was...as long as we always remember our first principles and believe in ourselves, the future will be ours. And something else we learned. Once you begin a great movement, there's no telling where it will end. We meant to change a nation, and instead, we changed a…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of Reaganism By Ronald Reagan

    Some could argue how American politics are less of a presidential race, but instead became a celebrity race. Nonetheless, Reagan imposes a heavy focus on traditional values. For America’s former structure has been tested by time, guaranteed to succeed in years to come and must be returned to for the sake of the future. He tries to make Americans feel as though they belong by aligning those who support freedom alongside himself and God, while simultaneously painting an enemy for people to root against.…

    Lady Liberty's Struggle In America

    Lady Liberty stood proudly with her sun rays and greeted a twelve year-old girl. I was in the cabin of the Groote Beer, and my heart raced when she showcased her light. The experience was brighter than glistening diamonds touching the depth of my soul. I knew this would be my home, a re-birth, and terrorist free, no more bullets flying, and plane blades hovering. This was the Dutch East Indies and when forced to move to our legal country, The Netherlands, my mother feared the Russians. I have experienced my country; The United States of America flow from good to bad to extremely confused. Regardless of America's struggle, I shall remain unconditionally faithful pointing her fault, grieving for her sin, but praising for who she is. She is Lady…
