9/11 Address to the Nation
President George W. Bush
September 11, 2001

Good evening.

Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices -- secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.

Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government's emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.

Logos - Logic

Pathos - Emotion/Feeling
‘Buying these pain meds will make you feel amazing and happy.’
Ethos - Credibility
‘I am a doctor therefore I can tell you about pain medication.’

Answer 8

Try and find examples for those as a start. Rhetorical devices are a bit more difficult.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 12

Answer 13

alright can i ask you if it's right

Answer 14

Yes

Answer 15

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. Logos

Answer 16

Logos utilizes facts and figures to formulate a persuasive argument. I don’t see any in that example.

Answer 17

Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.

Answer 18

I can argue that they did in fact touch the foundation of America because New York is one of the economic powerhouse states of America, with a statue signifying our freedom.

Logos shouldn’t be something that can be argued with, since it is fact.

Answer 19

What is that one supposed to be?

Answer 20

i think either ethos or logos

Answer 21

Credibility or logic, which one?

Answer 22

credibility

Answer 23

I don’t see a reference to the speaker being of someone of authority as to convey credibility within that excerpt, thus I don’t think it embodies ethos.

Answer 24

oh ok

Answer 25

i'm sorry english here and history there i'm going back and forth with this
