Unit 2 Lesson 3 English

Logo Etho Patho Impact on audience

"If an American, because his skin is dark...cannot enjoy the full and free life which all of us want, then who among us would be content to have the color of his skin changed and stand in his place?" "We preach freedom around the world... ...this is the land of the free... ...we have no second class citizens... ...we have no class or caste system, no ghettos, no master race... ...except in respect to the Negroes.. | | | X | Kennedy uses the emotions of the public as a method of persuasion when he says |

Next week I shall ask the Congress of the United States to act..." ..to make a commitment it has not fully made in this century... ...that race has no place in American life or law." "I am, therefore, asking Congress to enact legislation giving all Americans, the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public... "We have the right to expect that the Negro community will be responsible, will uphold the law..." "...but they have a right to expect the law will be fair, that the Constitution will be color blind | X | | | Using logos, Kennedy appeals to the logical reason of Americans by providing specific statistics and a logical solution to the racial inequality the country was facing |

We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the Scriptures and is as clear as the American Constitution | | X | | Kennedy lets the audience know that they are facing a battle that has been around for hundreds of years. |

Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of who wish to be free. And when Americans are sent to Vietnam or West Berlin, we do not ask for whites only. | X | | | Kennedy uses a questionable strategy in order to get people thinking. Its also a true statement because why segregate the world when we still use mix color races in order to fight in war zones |
