ESSAY ON: Applying Aristotle's Theory Of Rhetoric To Bush's Speech To Congress On September 20, 2001

Number of Pages 6

This research paper: 6 pages in length. President Bush's speech to Congress on September 20, 2001 attempted to quell a terribly distraught country and calm the nerves of those who were at odds with one another. Clearly, the war on terrorism has not represented a significantly popular time in United States history, inasmuch as 911 proved to divide an already agitated homeland. Bush's speech attempted to placate the nation's growing uncertainty as to soundness of entering into war by reassuring the American people how important this decision was to the country's continued global status. While this was, indeed, true, Bush also incorporated a significant amount of manipulative rhetoric as a means by which to fortify his own agenda and ultimately sway public opinion about the threat of terrorism. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
