John F. Kennedy believed that we should also be first in space. John F. Kennedy was one of the
most liked presidents. John F. Kennedy explained that going to space will represent America’s
drive to overcome difficult challenges. America decided to start getting into the space
exploration field, so America went against a strong space competitor, The Soviet Union. In this essay I will explain to you the way John F. Kennedy uses ethos, pathos, and logos. In this speech, John F. Kennedy uses ethos by knowing his place. By that, I mean that John F.
Kennedy was the most liked president. So by being most liked it gave him an advantage on getting
his point across. For an example John F. Kennedy used ethos in this quote, “William …show more content…
This quote represents ethos because William Bradford was known and by
showing his experience with difficult challenges makes people inspired.
Another quote that shows John F. Kennedy using ethos is, “Many years ago the great British
explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb
it. He said, "Because it is there."Well, space is there, and we're going to climb it, and the moon and
the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there. And, therefore, as we set
sail we ask God's blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which
man has ever embarked.” This quote represents John F Kennedy using ethos because John F.
Kennedy used a man who was well known for his exploration. Also the main way John F.
Kennedy used ethos in this quote is how he used this quote to show that if George Mallory was
able to accomplish a difficult challenge then America as a whole can accomplish being in space
and being the first on the moon.
In this speech John F. Kennedy also used pathos. For an example one of the quotes that John …show more content…
Then about 10 years ago, under this standard, man emerged from his caves to
construct other kinds of shelter. Only five years ago man learned to write and use a cart with
wheels. Christianity began less than two years ago. The printing press came this year, and then
less than two months ago, during this whole 50-year span of human history, the steam engine
provided a new source of power. Newton explored the meaning of gravity. Last month electric
lights and telephones and automobiles and airplanes became available. Only last week did we
develop penicillin and television and nuclear power, and now if America's new spacecraft
succeeds in reaching Venus, we will have literally reached the stars before midnight tonight.” This
quote represents John F. Kennedy using logos because it shows that since America persevered in
all the other challenges, that means that they can accomplish being in the space exploration field.
Another quote which demonstrates John F. Kennedy using logos is, “Within these last 19 months
at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. Some 40 of them were "made in the United States
