Obama's Speech Breakdown

Obama's speech on education to the students of America was a little unusually written. It seemed like the beginning was an answer to a question or almost a conclusion. The body of his speech supported and gave specifics on the topic and the end was the questions he is asking and the favors he is asking of the student population that he gave the answer to at first.

The beginning of the speech, the pace was quite fast and then slowed down for the body and sped up a little at the end emphasizing on his main points.

His ethos is clearly and powerfully stated as the President. He uses logos on why and how to take an active role in your own education. And the pathos is sprinkled in through out the entire speech maybe a little too much.
