...The man on the moon In the year 1969, for the first time ever a man set foot on the moon. It made the news everywhere and it was a very risky mission but it got completed. In the passages we read, it showed us four perspectives. A news article, a speech, a commentary and a political cartoon. All four of these perspectives showed an interaction among the speaker, audience, and subject. Which is called the rhetorical triangle. When someone uses the rhetorical triangle or ethos, pathos, and logos, it makes the passages much more interesting and you’ll get a better understanding on what they are trying to inform. In the first passage, Neil Armstrong is describing his experience being the first man on the moon. The New York Times did a really good job informing the...

...Lewis and Clark Expedition and Man on the Moon. The Lewis and Clark Expedition took place in the U.S during 1803, while man on the moon took place during the 1969-1972. Lewis and Clark went to go explore the west because Thomas Jefferson assigned them to do this after the Louisiana Purchase. The U.S sent Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin to win the space race against the U.S.S.R. The two adventures had a lot in common and many differences. The Lewis and Clark Expedition and Man on the Moon have many similarities. Both of the adventures took place in unknown territories. Another similarity was that both parties traveled long and far to reach their destinations. The Lewis and Clark Expedition took 8,000 miles, while Man on the Moon took 407,700 miles. Lewis and Clark traveled through land and water, using horses and canoes. Meanwhile, Man on the Moon used rocket ships and computers. The two adventures had many differences between themselves. The Lewis and Clark Expedition took two years to complete, and Man on the Moon took three days to complete. The Lewis and Clark Expedition were allocated with 2,500 dollars, and Man on the Moon coasted 38 billion dollars to complete. During the adventures Lewis and Clark brought back drawings of plants, animals, maps, and journals. After Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were done with their mission they brought back moon rocks, pictures, and moon soil. In the end the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the Man on the Moon had many similarities, even...

...The reasons why Kennedy wanted to send Americans to the moon because the soviet union had a lot of satellites and 40 of them were by Americans and the soviet were far more sophisticated and supplied and far more knowledge.There nations own scientific manpower that is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth. Kennedy wanted the first man in the United States to make it in the moon because in this text it refers that ¨Man in his quest for knowledge and progress,is determined and cannot be deterred¨.So that is the reason why Kennedy wants to send Americans to the moon. What motivated me in his speech that he believes that a man can go to the moon he does not give up. He is pretty competitive but he wants to succeed and tell everyone...

...One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind; a famous quote from the first person to land on the moon, Neil Armstrong. Sending a man on the moon was one of NASA's most historical moments ever accomplished. The undertaking of Apollo 11 exhibited the success of NASA's capabilities and gave scientists a better understanding of the moon. With NASA's work and determination, they ended the competition between American and the Soviet Union space race and brought all nations closer together. During World War II, missiles were used for mass destruction in enemy territory. Military technology was improved over time, therefore, missiles became bigger and powerful. The United States and the Soviet Union created some of the most powerful missiles in the war. After the war, the...

...Were the moon landings real? There has been rumors that Neil armstrong landing on the moon was fake. That it was all filmed in a studio. Some people think it actually happened. But it’s up to you on what you think were they real or was the whole thing faked? This is what I believe… I believe that the moon landings were real. I think the whole thing happened. That NASA sent a man to the moon. Sure I have seen evidence to prove why it didn’t really happen but there is one piece of evidence I saw that changed my whole thought. Some evidence to prove the moon landings didn’t really happen is John F kennedy promised a man on the moon by the end of the 1960’s, and since we were in a race with the Soviet Union to get a man on the moon we wanted...

...defined by President John F Kennedy’s speech at Rice University and thus “The Space Race” had begun. In that speech, John F Kennedy stated “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” JFK RICE MOON SPEECH. (n.d.). The space race ignited America’s competitive spirit. The space race between the two world powers changed humanity with breaking the limits of new technology in space travel and catapulted the United States to evolve into the world leader by landing a human on the moon. On October 4 of 1957, the space race began between two of the most powerful countries when Russian launched an unmanned rocket called Sputnik 1 into orbit. “The launch of Sputnik 1 had a "Pearl Harbor" effect on American public opinion.” Launius, R. (n.d.). Then Russia, a month later, launched Sputnik 2 which included a small dog named Laika. The U.S. tried to catch up by launching two satellites. One of the satellites failed to reach orbit, however one of satellite discovered what is called The Van Allen belt. In 1959, the United States launched the Luna 1, which was the first manmade object to reach the solar orbit. Then, the United States launched the Luna 2, which became the first manmade object to reach the moon. On November 8 of the next year, John F Kennedy was elected President and informed NASA he wanted the United States to get mankind in...

...During the excitement of the first lunar landing, Herblock, a credible cartoonist, illustrates that the world was more focused on getting a man on the moon than addressing problems occurring at the time to the readers of the Washington Post. The lunar landing had everyone enticed with its inauguration, which allowed Herblock to draw his cartoon. As the prominent cartoonist, Herblock, puts it, he draws a picture of a man who is seated in a lounge chair and is watching television while he is on the moon. Basically, Herblock is trying to say that the world has a fascination with the lunar landing because of the attention that the man is putting on the television set. This shows the lunar landing in comparison to other current world problems, obviously it was more...

...how a man could transform into a pig. He would lead wild pigs into a clear opening, where they could not escape. He would eat a plant, and transform into a human again, killing the wild pigs afterwards. The other pigs soon learned about what this man was doing and destroyed all of the plants. When the man lead them into the clearing, he went to go eat the plant, only to discover that it was destroyed. The wild pigs soon killed him and they kill any humans they run find in the woods, as revenge. The story of the “Bra Spider” was that everyone was having feasts all day. The Bra Spider gave each leader of the village a rope, and to tug it hard when it was time to eat and the Bra Spider would come to feast on all the food with the others. He starved himself for days while waiting for the day of the...

...speech, “Decision to go to the Moon”, addresses advances in technology due to man. Kennedy’s purpose is to convince Americans of the necessity of going to the moon. He adopts a knowledgeable tone in order to explain to people how this action is possible and the good that can come from it. The first paragraphs of the speech explain the growth that man has made in the last few years. Logical appeals are used in this section, because Kennedy is giving the speech at a college. Other appeals, such as emotional and ethical, would not capture the whole picture of the progress humans have made. One example of a logical appeal is when Kennedy said “this Nation’s own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population”. JFK uses statistics like this one to show that going to the moon is possible due to the expansion of science. Another way Kennedy shows we were capable of going to the moon is: “...

...June 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 moon lander set down on the moon, a moment frozen in time just the same as the footprints frozen on the surface. Although, that is not exactly what happened; humans did not land on the moon in 1969. The supposed first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong, delivered a famous quote known as “That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind” (FACT CHECK). One of the main reasons why America was pushing to put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s was to further the Cold War between America and Russia and hopefully make amends, this included a space race between the two nations. (Moon Landing) Many people are unaware and have never been informed that there were ten unsuccessful attempts to the moon before Apollo 11....

...The Moon Landing On the day of July 20, 1969 the United States of America accomplished a colossal feat that astonished the world. After years of trial and error the United States of America was able to beat all odds and all other countries in putting a man on the Earth’s moon, two men to be exact. Neil Alden Armstrong, the first man to lay his feet on the moon’s surface and Edwin Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. who shortly followed became symbols of America’s self-proclaimed superiority. The controversy of this topic lies in many questions. What events took place that led up to the moon landing? Who was involved? How and why did we put a man on the moon and be the first? History itself can give us these answers but there is also one question that seems to still have people talking to this day and that is, did it really even happen or could it possibly be the United States of America’s greatest hoax? The Cold War began approximately in 1945 at the end of World War II. The United States, Great Britain and some other allied counties decided they wanted to contain communism in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R) and China. Although the United States of America and these communist enemies did not get in any physical battles during this war there was definitely a lot of unspoken threats and the flexing of muscles between the two super powers, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. One of the two biggest contests or “races” between the two countries began when...

...The Apollo missions began before man first stepped onto the moon. These important missions began during the early 1960s. These ideas of sending men to the moon took hold and the idea was set into motion. The motivation of this discovery was to send men to the moon. This idea was not created or thought of out of the blue and was created from the work and experiments of others. This idea formed from Project Mecury, and took things much further in regard to space exploration. If it wasn’t for Project Mecury, the Apollo missions would have never come to pass. Some of the questions that had to be asked in regard to the Apollo missions was how can we make it possible for men to survive the trip to and from the moon? Sending men to the moon in the...
