Victor Mateo HIST 111 Prof. Sleeper “Let Every Nation Know” Worksheet 1. Had JFK not gotten into politics, he would have continued a career in journalism (pg. 5).

Take a look at the current regime; the press lift them up while disregarding the damage (economically and socially) that results from their policies. 8. JFK was able to garner the support of the country because he committed the nation to achieving the goal of landing on the moon and returning safely within the decade. He linked this to the nation’s prestige. This assertion would be the challenge to the nation that the nation had been longing for. Both sides of the house and senate were united on this singular goal. In addition to wanting to win the space race, JFK also requested to support allies fighting communism by supplying them with our troops. I think it was a combination of both his charisma and the climate of current events that resulted in such acceptance (pg. 113-119). 9. JFK knew that one day history would remember the ‘60’s as “the beginning of a new age of discovery” (pg. 162). JFK also admired the boldness of this exploration. He viewed it as being “associated with great nations and visionary leaders.” Space was, and still is, the new frontier. Space was the new frontier not only for exploration, but for armed conflict as well. JFK sought to win control of space just as Britain won control of the Atlantic (pg. 162). In order to obtain this goal, it would require a lot of dedication from the American public, to include stopping undue work stoppages (strikes), hire materials and talent costs, and longer turnover time of

The people were convinced that this war would be never ending, and believed in another inevitable war. From the beginning to the end of JFK’s speech, he uses a plethora of rhetorical devices to comfort the people and fill them with confidence.
Robert Dallek's book, John F. Kennedy, covers the valiant life of JFK from 1917 to 1963. Personally, I found the book to be an interesting read. The book openly illustrates the highs and lows, as well as the short tenured life of the 35th president of the United States. Overall, I felt that this book assembled some of the most relevant information about the life and political career of JFK, presented in a unified and thoughtfully written description. This analysis will describe some of my take-a-ways from the book.
On November 8th, 1960, Americans will be given the choice of who will be running the country.

The Cold War was an all-encompassing face of the 20th century, world politics, and a major idea during this time was domination of the skies. The United States competed against The Soviet Union in a war unlike any other, they didn’t fight with guns, bombs, or war machines but with science and the battlefield was space. The prioritization of the space race on the national agenda was characterized by an urgency, which underscored the commitment to the U.S. to defeat the Soviet Union by all means necessary. This came at the cost of billions of dollars, resources, lives, and political forces.
I think what motivates Presidents Kennedy is people working hard that there alive and working today ,the manpower id "doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than threee times that of our population as a whole ".Some rhetorical strageties that he uses most to advance his purpose is by opening vistas and hardships of space high costs, as well as high reward.I find his arguement of what he says about all the information about him knowing space stuff and all.President Kennedy also has equipment needed "for proopulsion" such as communications ,control ,food and survival.I do find this arguement persuasive because he gives a lot of information like he can inform readers into doing stuff just like how i felt and of other read it they'll
For my rhetorical paper, I decide to select Senator John F. Kennedy as my candidate, because I felt that John. F Kennedy was very effective and confident in answering the questions.

Also, individuals who agree that the Congress should give medical aid to the aged, a comprehensive minimum hourly wage bill, and federal aid to education. I feel that the purpose and goal that John F. Kennedy wanted to achieve is to make America strong by promoting freedom, good leadership, and getting other countries to view America as a strong country like China and Khrushchev as Kennedy stated “I want people in Latin America and Africa
President John F. Kennedy, in his inaugural address on January 1961, suggests that the United States must unify and act upon injustices in the country. He supports this claim by first calling out to countries around the world, then speaking to the citizens of America and asking them to take action, and finally by creating a sense of patriotism to help connect the people to their country. Because he is the youngest president, Kennedy adopts a tone of excitement and energy for his younger audience, but a tone of maturity and authority for his older audience members.
Today, I stand before you to deliver my analysis, regarding a speech of great magnitude. This speech is none other than the inaugural address of John F. Kennedy, commonly referred as JFK, the 35th President of the United States. On Friday, January 20th, 1961. In the United States Capitol of Washington, D.C. JFK, after narrowly defeating his opposition Richard Nixon, took the oath of office, and was sworn in as the new president of the United States, after his ascension to power, he gallantly accompanied such an event by delivering one of the most memorable, yet simplistic, speeches of all time.

Its significance is accredited to its skilful use of rhetorical devices, its delivery, and the powerful messages contained within.
Kennedy was a major influence in the US during the Space Race. He gave several speeches in order to raise awareness about the Space Race and triggered a small wave of nationalism. One of his famous quotes was, “ "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to earth.” - President John F. Kennedy, May 25, 1961” (John F. Kennedy- Space Race). Another famous quote was, “We set sail to this new sea because there is new rights to be won and they must be won and used for the progress of all people.” (Walter).

On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy gave a speech to students and faculty at Rice University about the expansion of the space program. He spends the bulk of his speech explaining the situation that the nation was in and the reasoning behind the allocation of increased funds to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Through his incorporation of ethos, pathos, and logos with other rhetorical devices, President John F. Kennedy is able to effectively persuade his audience that joining the space race is justified and necessary if the United States wants to continue being a leading nation.
Before the causes and results of Kennedy’s decision to land on the moon can be adequately analyzed and discussed, it is necessary to understand the context of his time as President and the events that preceded it. Therefore, I will provide a small amount of context about the Cold War and the situation leading up to Kennedy’s “We choose to go to the moon” speech on September 12, 1962. (Citation).
