There are many more professional teams facing this adversity but these two have been dealing with the USPTO for years to try to patent their trademark. With that said, because USPTO uses the Lanham Act of 1946, they have denied registration.…

Another fundament power of rhetoric is pathos, or emotion, which the advertisement also exhibits through a humorous technique. One key element necessary for a successful argument is sympathy or to share the audience’s mood. Viewers can sympathize with Couric and Gumbel even though they are celebrities because they share the same confusion at learning new things. The ad also achieves sympathy through storytelling in a humorous skit rather than simply rattling off logistics. Humor is an emotion that, if played correctly, can draw an audience in and keep them listening.…

We can no doubt find elements of metaphors, repetition, and strong verbs in both of their speeches. King and Kennedy’s word and phrase choices both produce very well written speeches, but one is simply better than the other. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech proves to be more effective and noteworthy than John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address. King’s carefully thought out metaphors enlivens his speech by illustrating vibrant portraits of the future he hopes to help produce. His rich metaphors are straightforward, and they are easy to comprehend.…

The occasion of the speech was to address to the American people the importance of returning to space and being the first nation to place a man on the surface of the moon.

The context that shaped Kennedys’ speech was the importance of mankind to achieve the near impossible feat of landing a human being on the surface of the moon and the profound impact that this accomplishment would have on the future of the human race.…
