    John F Kennedy As mentioned throughout the textbook, “ Kennedy close advisers believed that Eisenhower’s foreign policy establishment was stultified, slow moving, overly reliant on brinksmanship and massive retaliation, and complacent” (pg.675). They feared the State Department would be unable to implement a new international vision. Even though many felt as such, Kennedy was determined to control foreign policy through a young energetic staffer who was capable of making their own informal contacts within the foreign affairs bureaucracy. Also as mentioned in the textbook, “Kennedy though that Eisenhower and Secretaries Dulles and Herter had all but ceded the newly emerging states in Latin America, Asia and Africa to the communists” (pg.675). Kennedy’s foreign policy did not back up what he mentioned during his inaugural speech in which he stated, “let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty”.…

    I appreciate how you explain what the speeches was about. I feel, Hilary Clinton does care about women being affected by abuse and it showed in her expressions. It isn't right to treat anyone bad even to the point that you want to hurt or decrease their self-esteem. Furthermore, when it comes to your explanation on John Kennedy speech it is sad. To know that in those days African American wanted to be equal to Caucasian Americans.…

    Kennedy also uses repetitive unifying diction to reiterate Kennedy’s connection to the American people. The use of repetitive wording and transitions are used to create a dramatic effect that Kennedy uses to connect to how the steel industry is not complying to the interests of 185 million americans. Kennedy relates to the American people by saying things such as “when we are devoting our energies to economic recovery and stability” (8-9) and “It would seriously handicap our efforts to prevent an inflationary spiral from eating up the pensions of our 30 older citizens, and our new gains in purchasing power” (27-31). Kennedy's use of “we” and “our” are used to create a feeling that Kennedy is a part of the 185 million Americans being affected by the current economic issues. In addition to what was previously stated, Kennedy also adds, “the American people will find it hard, as I do, to accept a situation in which a tiny handful of steel executives whose pursuit of private power and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibility can show such 20 utter contempt for the interests of 185 million Americans” (15-20).…
