http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80399.html

John McCain, who ran for president almost 4 years ago, gave his speech at the Republican National Convention August 28, 2012 in Tampa, Fl. He begins his speech by saying he wishes he could be in a different position. Implying his desire to still be president. However he did all he could do and was supporting Mitt Romney in his nomination. He presents the many reasons America is dealing with trouble, and the solution to this problem electing Mitt Romney. He has been through this before and is a reliable source to know the pressures and issues we are faced with. Not only Americas problems but the conflicts we have with our allies. McCain has been through these issues before and made plans to do with them. He also uses pathos to show voters the trouble America is facing and it is time to put a republican back in power.

Essay 2 body paragraph

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0812/80398_Page2.html

Rand Paul thinks that Obamacare is unconstitutional and that even the father of the constitution would agree with him. He feels that the debate is not new and probably will never be over any time soon. He talks about how Hamilton and Madison fought from the beginning about how the government would be limited by the enumerated powers (his words). He feels the federal governments powers are few and defined. For example the power to tax and spend is restricted by the enumerated powers. He feels the only way to fix the problem is to have a new president.

Scarlett Johansson Speech

            Johansson starts right off the bat discussing how she realizes being in Hollywood and being a celebrity doesn’t make her one vote any different than anyone else’s. Realizing that she has lived an average life compared to certain class areas she believes everyone should vote. No matter their financial situation. She appeals to pathos when discussing her own back round and how she saw how amazing voting was in the eyes of a child. She them addresses the situation that last year in the age group of 18-24 year old, less than half voted. She encourages everyone to vote no matter his or her own political view. It is their own personal right and privilege. It’s almost illogical not too.

Topic One: The appeal to pathos was evident throughout Kerry Healy’s entire speech. In the beginning of her speech she spoke about Massachusetts losing hope for its future as a state because the unemployment rate was sky rocketing. She went on to talk about how Mitt Romney restored not only the hope for a brighter future but, safe guarded the people living in the state. “Mitt Romney is a good and honorable man,” states Healy. Clearly she is trying to appeal to the emotions of her audience when she speaks of his honorability. Healy emphasizes that Romney focuses on those in need instead of himself even on the day of his inauguration for Governor of the state of Massachusetts. She uses key words such as hope and pride to reinforce her ideas. Finally, Healy discusses Romney’s family values and his ability to live them every day. The appeal to pathos is a strong tool used within this speech. The appeal is very effective because Healy knows how to influence her audience with her appeal to emotions because she is speaking to an audience in favor of her argument that Mitt Romney should become President of the United States of America.

Topic Two: Healy appeals to logos by insisting Romney is a good businessman and can run the country effectively.

Example 3: Romney made creating jobs a top priority; therefore he can do the same for the U.S.

Explain: Romney is a good business man who can obviously create jobs and knows how to make money. He has the knowledge and skill to pull our country out of debt and create more jobs for the American people.
