The speech was coarsecasted nation entirelyy and students were tuning in each(prenominal) crossways America, kindergarten through and through 12th grade. His speech prevails it very clear that you simply cannot relinquish school and skip classes because youre not just quitting on yourself, youre quitting on your country.President Obama would like to motivate tout ensemble the students who were listening and that scent of importance, which the sentence above is showing, tycoon be the exact motivator for that to happen. This composition will analyse and comment on the speech and focus on the way President Obama addresses his interview. The composition of the speech is pretty much unreserved and not problematic nor complex. It is started by a dead presentation followed by the mess era of the speech, soundly-do cumented with several(predicate) arguments which support each part of the message.It ends with a short summary which sums it all up. This is a extremity given the situation that the listening is as menti whizzd students of all age. His language is very easy to understand and he doesnt use neither imagery language nor hypotactic sentence social organisation where he referrers to something that isnt mentioned. If this wasnt the case, large parts of the audience energy not understand the message the speech is trying to show, and the speech would be useless for them.Since the audience is a group of students large amount in a small age he tries to set well-nigh himself likeable. This is seen in the novel approximately his make childhood and gravely upbringing. Throughout the speech, President Obama mothers groovy use of pathos as a persuasion mean which inwardness that he appeals to both emotions and qualityings And even when youre struggling, even when youre discourag ed, and you tone of voice like other people concur given up on you dont ever give up yourself. , President Obama is utilize pathos as the main way of persuasion since people ar much likely to agree when theyre emotional. There are, however, several places where he appeals to ethos by expressing his own equality to the rest of the audience hows all(prenominal)body doing directly? , as he opens the speech in this way, he sets the scene and tries to bum rid of his authority as the nearly potent man in the world since no one likes to be talk of the towned down to. President Obama mentions all the different grades of the same reason he doesnt want to talk down to them.President Obamas main point is that all students have to work hard in order to reach success and get a ripe(p) education. Education is the only real way out of poverty, unemployment and trouble. His argument for this direction is that without an education and hard work, you cant be something in spirit jobs a nd money doesnt come from nothing, even though several Hollywood-movies and TV-series might express that. Furthermore, he stresses the importance of obligation.Not only for your own actions, scarce also for the tariff your teachers should to inspire you, your family to support you and crop sure you encumbrance on track, and the governments responsibility for setting high standards and provide all(prenominal) it sustains to raise the bar for educational standards. However, all of this doesnt mean much if you dont take the responsibility of yourself and your education. He describes how either superstar one of us has something to contribute Every single one of you has something to ply.Here afterwards he even gives several examples of opportunities which might occur for someone who has set her/his hidden talent. This also referrers to the dont quit, dont skip, stay in school message hes trying to embrace. The conterminous part of the speech is once again used to make Presid ent Obama identifiable. He knows how hard life can be, since he himself had to break the forbid heritage his parents didnt have an college education and didnt have much, however, Thats no excuse for not trying. , he says. There is, in fact no real excuse for quitting school.He even mentions the American Dream in his speech which is based on the belief that everyone is their own happiness and in store(predicate). He mentions 3 different people, who have been struggling nevertheless, their future seems to be beady after their hard work This is yet another motivator and cogent evidence for the people who think their background and personal issues sets them behind. Barack Obama uses a stilt of different rhetorical techniques in order to create an environment in which his issue audience feels comfortable in furthermore, it makes his argumentation a lot more convincing.In lines 164-165 he keeps repeating I expect , which sets the bars for the upcoming year. I believe he does this be cause he has an authority. As much as he tries to hide it, he also uses it. If it was a general John vitality who said I expect this and that from you, what purpose would it have? The audience wouldnt listen You could say that Barack Obama is a role model for a lot of people if not a whole nation hes the foremost black president and worked his way up from nothing. President Obama is rying to make the distance between him and his authority and the audience as small as possible by making a lot of comparisons and relations. The words I get it and I know is not put there for no reason. By decreasing the gap between him and the audience, his authority is more in the background, and he is now a person whom you can disturb to, and not the most powerful man on the world. In America, national judgement isnt very uncommon, and the responsibility which a lot of people feel toward their country is a mean to motivate people.Therefore, the argument youre not just quitting on yourself, your e quitting on your country is one powerful motivator. I feel that the speech is indeed puzzle outd by American thinking, however, it all makes sense even in my head. He stresses the importance of education, and that is something each and every country has a necessity to do perhaps he has run aground the way to actually communicate the message? 1 . line 65 2 . line 147-149 3 . lines 36-37 4 . lines 92-107Prepared Remarks of President Barack Obama bandaging to school EventOne of the most important and discussed topics in administration has always been education because of its decisive role in society. Education is the give away stone for the generations to come and well educated citizens are a necessity for a successful society in the 21st century. Politicians also make education a high priority because they know it is where votes can be drawn. A politician who also is concerned about the matter of education is President Barrack Obama. And in his speech Prepared Remarks of P resident Barack Obama spine to School Event held in Arlington, Virginia on September 8, 2009, he addresses to the Americans students the importance of education and emphasizes that the responsibility to do well in school lies with the students themselves.This is a responsibility that they have to meet, not only for their own sake but for the sake of their country. President Obama emphasizes the importance of education and self-responsibility to children from kindergarten to 12th grade. Children at that age can be difficult to address to, especially with such a big size of group, so Obama must use various approaches to make it possible. He talks to them as an equal so young audience can identify with him and not only see him as the President. He uses a simple and informal language with legion(predicate) repetitions and examples they can connect to. He starts out by saying Hello everyone hows everybody doing at present?(Page 1, line 1). He speaks directly to the audience to get t heir vigilance.He needs the attention from the children and hold on them to get through with his message. He does that by gaining their valuate for him and shows that he sincerely cares about them. In the beginning of the speech Obama tells about his story from when he was young. How he was raised by his mother who did not had any money to take him to school, so she had to give him lessons at sign at 430 in the morning. He also mentions things he did he is not proud of that got him in troubles. Then Obama shares and opens up about his personal stories, he uses ethos in his arguments to increase his reliability with the audience. It makes it easier for Obama to get through with his message when the people he talks to have his respect.Obama starts stressing his message after he has achieved the audiences attention. Obama has two main messages in his speech. The first one is that the self-responsibility of the education lies with the student. Maybe theparents and the teachers also h ave some responsibility for the student, but it all comes the student none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities(Page 2, line 30). The students will not have everything served for them it is their turn to take action and take responsibility for their choices. The second one is that the students also have a responsibility for the nation. The nation depends on the students to get a well education.The future of the nation lies with the students to be a functional part of the US society so the nation can operate and compete What youre learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.(Page 2, lines 52-54). Obama is addressing to the students flag-waving(prenominal) American inside them. Most American is raised to be jingoistic and Obama knows hot to make use of it. Everybody wants to be a part of something that has an influence on the nation, and every student has the responsibility to their nation We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect If you dont do that if you quit on school youre not just quitting on yourself, youre quitting on your country.(Page 2, lines 62-64).Obama begins to speak about how hard work is the most important key to success. Everybody has the opportunity to succeed. Here he indirectly refers to the American Dream with hard work you can accomplish everything. Where you are near now doesnt have to determine where youll end up. No ones written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.(Page 3, lines 88-90).He uses himself and Michelle Obama, the first lady, while using pathos as examples of people who started from the button with bad conditions and build up to become successful. He comes up with three other cases than himselfJazmin, Andoni and Shantell arent any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And i expect all of you to do the same(Page 4, lines 105-107)Obama uses the sponsorship effect to create ethos. He also uses Michael Jordans and J. K. Rowlings story to get it out that you cannot succeed without failing. Obama uses persons who are idol to many so they get inspired to try to accomplish the same success. He wants the students to understand that if they want to be successful, they need to set goals for themselves and take responsibility for their education for that to happen. Throughout the speech, Obama uses a number of different strategies to affect the broad group of audience. By use concrete example they can relate to with a language everybody is able to understand, he inspires and motivates the young people who is the future of the USA.
