    The speech “9/11 Address to the Nation” reflected on a disastrous day that will live with every generation as history goes by. We recall those heroic actions of emergency personnel and average citizens, we recollect that moment and never forget how that day affected us, and ensure that feeling of pain will not be inflicted on us again. Every year as this day arrives, we encounter how this day changed everything, no matter how many times we watch the video footage, pictures, 911 calls, Americans as a nation will unite as a whole and reveal a unified sense of hope, freedom, and prosperity.…

    This passage reminds me of the unavoidable earthquake that Vancouver is going to get. Just like the people in the passage who are refusing to believe that their town could be a target, many of my friends are also refusing to believe that Vancouver is a target when the giant earthquake hits. At the same time, I can understand why some of the people in the text who doesn't believe it, because I didn't believe that an earthquake would actually hit Vancouver until last Tuesday's night earthquake. Therefore, now I feel anxious as I have no idea when the next one will come. Similarly, I have a sense that the people in the text are also feeling anxious since they don't know when Molching would be attacked.…

    President Trump’s State of the Union address was presented with a new take on law restrictions, graceful improvements in US infrastructure, as well as a significant rivalry against opposing nations. President Trump proves his nationalism and the power of his country’s patriots through acknowledging heroes like Officer Leppert (who helped out during Hurricane Harvey), Preston Sharp (boy who stood up for veteran respect), and Justin Peck (saved people from a terrorist bombing), in the efforts to show his country that he supports all corners of our nation, while lowering unemployment for certain races, supporting veteran cause, and changing economic rates to provide welfare for everyone of the US, no matter what situation they are in.

    Here I am, Comrades, standing in front of you on this fine Sunday morning rested and relaxed while you are all tired and worn out. And why is that, Comrades? It’s because you work Monday all the way through Saturday from dawn to dusk doing miserable, laborious, and backbreaking work. But the pigs, oh the pigs, they don’t work. They sit around and watch you and tell you what to do, but they never work. In fact, they don’t do anything except boss us all around and tell us lies about what they are actually doing. Remember the 7 commandments? The one that says we are all supposed to be equal? Well right now, that isn’t happening because Napoleon and the other pigs are bettering their education, telling you lies so you will believe anything they say, they have even stopped letting you help make decisions about the farm. Does that seem like equality to you? I apologize for being a part of that once. I have seen the error in my ways and I am here to make it up to you, with the windmill. If we build the windmill, you will have to work only 3 days a week, maybe even less, and the work you do will be the easiest work you can imagine. The rest of the time you can spend relaxing or improving your education. With the windmill, the farm will be industrialized, meaning we will be able to have machines that can do most of the work for us. You will be able to have warmth and light in the stalls all year round. This will take some time to build, Comrades, maybe a year, maybe two. But believe me, an industrialized farm, electricity and warmth for the stalls, and only 3 days of work and time to improve your education is worth it.…

    Barack Obama once said, “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” This quote inspired many and gave hope in Obama and his upcoming presidency. But there is more to how and what he does to inspire and persuade us at the same time. Propaganda, a form of communication designed to influence the attitudes and actions of a particular group; it can be used as a form of political warfare. The most commonly used propaganda devices are, Name Calling, Glittering Generalities, Transfer, Testimonial, Plain Folk’s, Card Stacking, and the Band Wagon device. In Obama’s 2012 Acceptance Speech, we can recognize that he uses different strategies like The Plain Folk’s, where he appears like regular people, then, Glittering Generalities, which appeals to our emotions, Inflated Language, where things aren’t more than what they seem, and jumping on the Bandwagon as examples to convince us that he will be the change that we seek.…
