Comparing Bill Clinton's Speech And The Contract With America

In President Bush’s Address to the Nation Speech the day after September 11 (9/11) in 2001, President Bush wants to inform the country of this tragic event and what was going to happen for the country. President Bush uses rhetorical devices to captures the audience’s attention and to reach this purpose. President Bush mainly use pathos, logos, anaphoras, and personifications to achieve his purpose.

Bill Clinton's "I Have Sinned" speech effectively engaged the audience, in which most ended up forgiving him for his sinning. With the help of ethos,pathos, and logos Bill Clinton could easily touch with the audience on a personal level through pathos. He already gained their attention as being the president of the United States with ethos, and he used logos though the Bible. All of these led to America forgiving Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife and lying about it. This is a huge thing to be forgiven for especially when you are supposed to be the #1 role model in America, but because Clinton used these effectively he was able to gain peace.

It was during the Recreation Period when the rights of the blacks were not the same as the whites and made their lives difficult. Segregation was very common at the time. It affected many of the black society, including Booker T. Washington. He was a major contributor to the end of segregation, and in 1895, he delivered the Atlanta Compromise Speech. He believed that with the hard work of the blacks, that they would earn and gain the respect of the esteemed whites. The main idea of The Atlanta Compromise Speech was that blacks should obtain social responsibility and need to work from the bottom to top to achieve this. Booker T. Washington’s speech was given to persuade the citizens to end the idea of segregation and promote cooperation

In his first inaugural address, the president criticized the failure of the wealthy to save the nation (Document A). His first term was marked by the New Deal, which spurred the faltering economy by creating new jobs and providing much needed financial help to the jobless and the poor. The New Deal also put many people to work on the federal pay roll through the Civil Works Administration and provided assistance to the agricultural sector, which had been in a slump since the 1920’s. By the time Roosevelt was up for re-election in 1936, he had changed American society for the better, and was able to continue for a second term. During this time, he created a second New Deal to implement social justice programs; his main goal was to use the power of the government to solve the issues of the individual (Document B).

On March 4, 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt stood before a nation and assumed the presidency of the United States of America. He recited the entire oath of office from memory, instead of merely answering “I Do” to a list of promises he was making to the American people. American citizens who had already endured four years of the greatest economic depression the nation had ever experienced. Americans who were desperately searching for help and relief from unemployment, financial crisis, and the possibility of starvation. In his inaugural address, Roosevelt vowed to bring to America the relief Americans needed, and to restore the nation to it’s position of power in the world. He promised a New Deal. While many wanted to believe that this

4). Why did it fail, some say that it wasn't strong enough some say that he should have backed others. Bill Clinton idea of a health reform consisted of health care being available to all Americans and legal residents. The plan would cover health, mental, and substance abuse. Clinton had a good plan. However, the request and demands that were needed were not smiled upon form all parties. Clinton's plan would demand for employers to pay 80% of coverage for their employers including part time workers and their families, subsidies would be available for those that feel under a certain income threshold. Clinton plan would also call for insurance companies to become involved. He would need to negotiate with insurance companies to find affordable plans that could be used across the board. With that he would need for the basic package to cover hospital stay by patients, mental and substance abuse, families planning have increasing their family, as well as better check ups for women during and after pregnancy. The reform establishes new structures and defined responsibilities that may increase accountability to enrollees and to public agencies(Brown, 1994, pg.184., vol. 84, No.

Have you ever gone to a presidential inauguration? Barack Obama and George Washington are two presidents of 45 presidents that were inaugurated and made inaugural addresses for the future of the country. Both presidents talked about their own views, with some similar and others different. They were both elected to office in bad times for the country. George Washington was elected when the United States gained independence and Barack Obama was elected when they were at war with Iran and Afghanistan.

The most interesting parts of Obama’s speech, to me, were the clarifications on his educational policies. His plans for higher education, such as halting student loan payments after 20 years or 10 years for public servants, seemed pretty cool to me. I’m not sure if taking government money to be used for student loans and giving it to parents while simultaneously stopping loan payments after 20 years is such a good idea. Pissing off the entire banking system might not be such a good idea in the long run. Grunts will be fired before CEOs cut their own bonuses, and I really don’t feel like that is particularly conducive to a good financial system.

Some might say that Bill Clinton was a bas president because he was a prison -loving president. he locked away to many people that did not do anything. But president Bill Clinton was a good president because he put America first and wanted to make America a better place for everyone.

I choose Bill Clinton because I found some of the thing he did cool and how Education was a priory of his. I have learned a lot by writing this essay about Bill Clinton and the

As first stated by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, the art of rhetoric in persuasive speaking is based upon the usage of the three key components, logos, ethos and pathos. Logos representing the usage of logic and reasoning within the speech or text, ethos representing the writer or speaker’s credibility and pathos representing how the speaker or author establishes an emotional connection with the audience. In former president Bill Clinton’s 2012 democratic national convention he relies heavily upon Aristotle’s persuasive speaking techniques to help convince the participants of the convention and those watching at home to reelect the nominee of the Democratic Party, current

Aristotle wrote that we can be persuaded by three things: reason (logos), the character of the speaker (ethos), and our own emotions (pathos).
