Keeping Peace and Freedom

George Bush who is the President of the United States of America came and visited our small town of Flagstaff in September of 2002. As a leader of our country, he reminds the Americans that we should be grateful for our freedom. Through contextualizing, structure, and rhetorical appeals, he gets through to his listeners by reminding us all, that keeping peace and freedom is not an easy job to do. He tells us how lucky we are to have freedom, and what we have to do to keep our “homeland” safe for our children of today. He speaks on behalf of his people, and what he will do to keep his people safe from our enemies who “hate” us, because we choose to be free!

As President, he is sworn to protect his people, and to keep everything in order in our country. He travels the world to try and promote peace among us and other countries. In this speech that was given by the President, he is speaking to everyone. The General Public, Professionals, Students, and every other citizen. He speaks of freedom and how to protect our “homeland”. He states “the enemies hate us because we have freedom”. (P. #3). As Americans we have the freedom to live where we want to, and how we want to. Most of all we have the “Freedom of Speech”. We voice our opinions when we feel it is necessary, without being punished by the government. In America, we stand together as one nation, to keep peace and freedom!

Identifying the structure of Bush’s speech is ways to keep peace and freedom among everyone. In order to keep our freedom, we need to work together to keep our enemies out. He incorporates on how to eliminate all the “bad guys” one by one, so they will not hurt us again. Bush points out three main reasons to keep peace and freedom;

1.) Protecting our homeland!

2.) Hunting down the enemies.

3.) Preventing the killers from hurting America again.

Protecting our homeland is a very difficult job to do, but it can be done when our people come together and fight for our nation.

    Host: On September the 11th 2001, the notorious terror organisation known as Al-Qaeda struck at the very heart of the United States. The death count was approximately 3,000; a nation was left in panic. To this day, counterterrorism experts and historians alike regard the event surrounding 9/11 as a turning point in US foreign relations.

    While he describes his powers of speech as limited, along with his experience in public speaking, later on he reminds his audience that this is not the first time he has been invited to speak at the venue, and even many of those who are present have seen him talk before. While portraying himself as a humble man, he uses this strategy to establish his authority as a speaker. This is the same distance that divides American society, and therefore he ensures that the difference in perspectives and attitudes toward the 4th of July that exists between both sides is present and felt by his listeners. He expresses hope in the fact that the American nation is still young, and therefore its character hasn’t been established yet, nor has its future been carved in its totality.

    America is one word that brings the hope of freedom to many people around the world. Since the United States’ humble beginnings freedom has remained at the core of its ideologies and philosophies. People of all races, nations, and tongues have found refuge in America. The National Anthem proclaims, “…land of the free, and home of the brave” (Key, 1814). But has America been consistently a land of the free? Unfortunately freedom has not always reigned. There is a constant struggle to overcome fear and prejudice in order to provide a true land of freedom. In times of heightened tension, the masses of common people seek to find a scapegoat. Often, this scapegoat is a minority with ties to current negative events. As fear uncontrollably grows, it can cause people to allow and commit unspeakable atrocities.

With the right to life, it means that any individual has the right to live, and shouldn’t be killed by anyone. With the right to Liberty, it means that we have the right to be free, and do almost anything we want. Lastly, the right to security means that you are guaranteed to be protected the best way possible, while you are in that country.
