On the day of September twentieth of 2011, George W.

Bush took the

nation addressing the terror attacks taken place just nine days before. The
joint session of congress exposed the strength and direction Bush had in
mind to attain justice for one of the nations deadliest and most terrifying
attacks. As the country watched Bush he provided America with a
speech that used effective forms of rhetorical devices, such as the
emotional appeals that provoked relations between one nation in
pain, and powerful persuasion with diction which guided the
American population to grow from the actions taken place.

Opening the speech, Bush presents the argument of replenishing the

country with faith and aiding in the vast recovery being the situation as
serious as it was. Bush presents a clear argument that we as a country,
despite the thousands of casualties, have to rebuild upon the devastation
through the use of pathos. Bush uses the emotional state of the country as
an advantage to gain and receive a better and ample response from the
people. Without the ability to knowingly provide an efficient outcome, the
president put himself into the position along with the men and women who
serve this country, being that he was willing to provide and serve for the
people of the country.
