  5. SOAPSTone: Subject Subject: President Obama speaks upon the growth and strength that the United States and what he will do, what we should do, and what we have already done together to make this a better nation. Examples from text: “Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools and colleges to train our workers.” “Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.” “Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.”
  6. SOAPSTone: Occasion Occasion: President Obama’s inaugural address in which he was speaking as president for his 2nd term. Example from text: Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution.
  7. SOAPSTone: Audience Audience: President Obama specifically addresses this speech to Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens.
  8. SOAPSTone: Purpose Purpose: The purpose of the speech is to tell or explain what kind of country America stressing on how well we work as one country. Examples from the text: “Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools and colleges to train our workers.” “Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.” “Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.”
  9. SOAPSTone: Speaker Speaker: President Barack Obama is the speaker of this speech. He is just now starting his 2nd term. Example from text: “Myfellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction. And we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service. But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty or an immigrant realizes her dream. My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.” The highlighted words show how Barack Obama was the speaker of this speech.
  10. SOAPSTone: Tone Tone: Powerful, Prepared. Examples from the text: “Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution. We affirm the promise of our democracy. We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names. What makes us exceptional — what makes us American — is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago.”
  11. Major Premise “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” President Obama stresses the importance of hoe all Americans are made equal and because of this will give us peace in the United States
  12. ETHOS Ethos “My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction. “ This quote shows how he has taken the Oath for this country but more specifically the oath was to God and the country and not party or faction.
  13. PATHOS Pathos “Let us, each of us, now embrace with solemn duty and awesome joy what is our lasting birthright. With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.”
  14. LOGOS Logos “We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law. We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully.” President Obama is stating the fact that America will stay strong and peaceful as long as we do it together.
  15. Rhetorical Device?Repetition “Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce, schools and colleges to train our workers.” “Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.” “Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.” President Obama’s constant use of the word “Together”Shows us, the people of the United States, how the United States can accomplish even the most difficult of task as long as it is done together .
  16. Powerful Lines “What makes us exceptional, what makes us American is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago.” “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” “America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands: youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it — so long as we seize it together.”
  17. Literary Devices that were used “Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage.” This sentence would be an example of a hyperbole because he used the word flames when he was describing how harsh and cruel the battles were that these men and women have been in.
  18. To Follow the speech… After President Obama was sworn in this is what followed…. Swearing-in Ceremony, Inaugural Parade on Jan 21. Inaugural National Prayer Service on Jan 22. This is all I could find on what followed this speech…
