Ronald Reagan: Speech Comparison

Abstract: 5 pages in length. One of Ronald Reagan's many legacies is his ability to deliver a speech that inspires, educates and makes listeners feel as though he is talking directly to each one individually. His rapport with his constituency and the global community was comparable only to President Kennedy, and his smooth delivery is attributable to his first career as movie actor. Indeed, being president was but another role for Reagan to play, one in which he used oratory as a most effective means of persuasion. Examining two of his speeches - the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) and the Berlin Wall (Tear Down this Wall!) - provides a good opportunity to evaluate the master and his craft that served to guide America for so many years. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
