WORKING THESIS:
John Kerry urges voters to vote for Barack Obama by appealing to Ethos and
Logos.
I. Topic 1:
John Kerry absolutely would be considered an influential and
authoritative figure on who should be considered for the upcoming presidential
election. First off he was the
democratic nominee for presidency in the 2004 election. Americans are aware of who Senator John Kerry
is and what he stands for due to his previous attempt to become the president
in 2004. Secondly he is currently the
senior senator from Massachusetts he has been in the senate since 1985. His political career actually began in 1972
when he initially ran for congress. His
extremely vast experience from a career of more than 40 years active in
politics gives his opinion and insight a lot of credibility. Third John Kerry is also a decorated Vietnam
War veteran; he served a total of four years in the Naval Reserve. Four months of that time was deployed as an
officer in charge of a swift boat in South Vietnam. While there he was awarded a silver star and
three purple hearts. The fact that he
has been on the “Front Line” and has experienced combat himself also adds to
his credibility as an authoritative speaker for the upcoming election.
