April 26th. AKA THE LAST BLOG!


Barak Obamas speech and means of persuasion are similar because in the means of persuasion talks about using ethos, logos and pathos. Barak Obama uses a lot of pathos to play with our emotions as a listener or reader. He wants us to feel the anger he has over racism and he also wants us to feel a sense of guilt because of all of our negativity in society. This guilt is because we are all letting racism happen when we could be putting an end to this. He also uses logos in the form of almost educating us with a history lesson of how our country started and how we as humans turned something good into evil. There is also ethos within his speech that the means of persuasion talks about because it takes an authoritative figure to get the attention needed to get shit done. I feel like with all of the racial tensions and issues we have today it would be hard to just live in a perfect world. Even though I’m tired of all the hate and just mind my own business doesn’t mean other people do the same otherwise we wouldn’t have near the problems we have today.
