...Martha Castellon Dr. Amy L. Trogan ENC 1102 30 October 2015 The Reviving and Inspiring Words of JFK’s Inaugural Address John F. Kennedy delivered one of the strongest inaugural speeches on January 20, 1961, after he was sworn into the presidential office. The purpose of giving an inaugural address is to inspire the American public to get involved with their country. John F. Kennedy was the youngest president ever elected and he needed a strong speech to demonstrate integrity as a leader. Kennedy wanted his presidency to be one of hope and opportunities. Throughout his speech, President John F. Kennedy is able to effectively inspire and convince the nation his determination for peace and hope for America by use of simplicity and rhetorical...

...As many may know, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States. The three documents that were provided all discuss the same thing, the inauguration of JFK. Although they do discuss the same topic, each one is done in a different manner because the first document is the speech itself, the second is someone looking back on the day of the speech, and the third is a photograph of the inauguration. Starting with the first document, it can be concluded that it is the speech that John F. Kennedy had given at his inauguration. It really allows one to gain an understanding of JFK’s thinking and learn more about what he had planned. In the document it reads,”We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom.” First, he uses “we” frequently along with similar pronouns. Another point of this...

...John F. Kennedy, our 35th president, wrote one of the best inaugural speeches. The speech explained how Kennedy felt about patriotism and how our armed forces took their lives for our country. In this dialogue, JFK shows his true patriotism and how much he cares about our country and the world. In his speech, Kennedy adds that we are lucky to have soldiers that are brave enough to risk their lives everyday. Not everybody gets a chance to serve their country. Americans can go outside knowing that they’re safe and no one will hurt them, yet other countries have very little, or no soldiers, and cannot defend themselves. Everyone should be thankful for their soldiers, as they give us our freedom. “Can we forge against these enemies a grand...

...In1961, John F Kennedy was elected as the president. When he prepared to be qualified as a president, he gave a public speech—JFK’s inaugural address— to motivate not only Americans but also foreigners to unite and to protect their liberty. For making sense with all of audiences, he applied the skillful rhetorical devices—repetition and tactical reasoning. First, the president JFK reasons with audience by appealing to pathos in three times in his speech. At the beginning, he says: “To those old allies …we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends…” for increasing his credibility. He gives old allies a promise--they will not betray them; they will ally forever; they are always friends— so that old allies will tend to trust them. His promise not...

...JFK was the 35th president of the United State during the cold-war time, and he was Catholic. We all acknowledge that JFK’s inaugural address has become one of the most famous and classic speech in history, because it has the strong power of words and phrases. Millions of his audiences were moved by JFK's inaugural address fifty years ago; even now we still are impressed by its rhetorical devices. One of JFK’s most effective methods in the speech is his strong diction. From the beginning to the end of the passage, JFK creates a directive and decisive tone to move his audience. Certainly, there are some words used to convince and to persuade people in the speech: steady, powerful, and pledge, for showing audiences the speaker's passion and drawing...

...The Presidential inaugural address has been a crucial piece of the new president’s transition into office. This is the first time that the new president can tell American citizens their official plan to lead the country and how they will put that plan into action. There has never been a speech that was not extremely powerful and memorable, and John F. Kennedy’s is no exception. Through the use of rhetoric, he was able to clearly describe his plan of cooperation, peace, and camaraderie to the nation. Kennedy’s large uses of antithesis parallelism, as well as sentence structure are the backbones to the success of his speech. Kennedy utilizes parallelism in order to convey his points in a successful manner throughout his speech. In several...

...John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Speech: A Rhetorical Analysis John F Kennedy delivered one of the finest speeches on January 20, 1961 after being sworn into office. His inauguration speech was so powerful that it captured the entire nations attention, and quotes from it are still remembered by people today. It is one of the finest speeches ever written.

...John Fitzgerald Kennedy is credited as being one of America’s greatest speakers. That is why, when asked to choose a speech to do a rhetorical analysis on from the Top 100 American Speeches on www.americanrhetoric.com, I had to choose his “Inaugural Address” from January 20, 1961. This speech is ranked second, under Martin Luther King Jr.’s, “I Have a Dream.” President Kennedy utilized many of the tools typically used in rhetorical or persuasive writing. He took full advantage of Aristotle’s three areas of rhetorical speech writing: Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, paired along with other literary tools such as repetition, rhythm, and comparison. President Kennedy opens his speech by establishing credibility, or ethos, “For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.(Americanrhetoric.com)” This excerpt tells the American people that he has followed the rules and has a legitimate responsibility to the American public as did the Presidents in the past. He is official. Then, a few moments later, JFK begins to capitalize on the emotions of the people, tying himself to them, identifying with them by using words such as “we.” This is the pathos part of his speech, “the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights...

... BERNATH LECTURE The New International History of the Cold War: Three (Possible) Paradigms* The Cold War is not what it once was. Not only has the conflict itself been written about in the past tense for more than a decade, but historians’ certainties about the character of the conflict have also begun to blur. The concerns brought on by trends of the past decade – such trifles as globalization, weapons proliferation, and ethnic warfare – have made even old strategy buffs question the degree to which the Cold War ought to be put at the center of the history of the late twentieth century. In this article I will try to show how some people within our field are attempting to meet such queries by reconceptualizing the Cold War as part of contemporary international history. My emphasis will be on issues connecting the Cold War – defined as a political conflict between two power blocs – and some areas of investigation that in my opinion hold much promise for reformulating our views of that conflict, blithely summed up as ideology, technology, and the Third World. I have called this lecture “Three (Possible) Paradigms” not just to avoid making too presumptuous an impression on the audience but also to indicate that my use of the term “paradigm” is slightly different from the one most people have taken over from Thomas Kuhn’s work on scientific revolutions. In the history of science, a paradigm has come to mean a comprehensive explanation, a kind of scientific “level”...

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
