9/11 Speech by George W. Bush

This week in class, we read the speech that President Bush gave after the attack on 9/11. The tone of the speech was very serious and President Bush's intention with the speech was to help comfort the people that were related to the victims of 9/11. When I was reading this speech, I noticed that President Bush used Pathos to evoke the public's emotion. By using Pathos, his speech was very successful because it helped to comfort the victims loved ones and to help reassure the public that everything was going to be fine. This speech also reminds me of other tragic events that happened such as the attack at Pearl Harbor.
