This section of the speech shows that previous generations had hope and so shall this one; though he continues with the blunt honesty about their difficulties. Obamas next step is to unite himself with his audience by saying “my fellow citizens”. With this use of language he is immediately including the audience, making him seem one of them and touching them as individuals. This appeals to them and makes them feel a part of his cause, and also suggests that he views them as equals. The rest of the speech then continues like this as he consistently uses words such as “us” and “we” rather than “you”. This shows willingness to work with them and emphasises his parity with them.

    My first home was in Cowpens, South Carolina. This small town really lives up to its name because of all the farms and cows located there.

Screaming, crying, and fainting from holding my breath too long were an everyday…

They had everything from saffron and silk clothes from the East and ivory from Africa. As I went into one of…
