Reflection: Clinton vs Trump

Although I am not a Trump fan, I have been constantly trying to remind myself "Trump is terrible. Trump is terrible." This is the case because in class, we have been analyzing Trump and Clinton's republican and democratic speeches. I found myself being put to sleep during Clintons but this is not the case while reading Trump's. His use of pathos and ethos really compliment the type of person he is and is obviously the most efficient way of conveying his messages. He flat out states what needs fixing and is not shy to say that he's the person who is going to be able to fix it.

George Bush's 9/11 Speech

George Bush's speech on the events that occurred on 9/11 has helped me grasp the concept of ethos, logos, and pathos. Bush's use of rhetoric has a distinct way of creating a relationship with his audience. This can be seen in a few examples such as: "our fellow citizens", "Moms and dads", and "our nation". These examples develop a more personal and relatable relationship with audience and speaker and by doing so, help the audience pay more attention and take the speech more personally.
