The other is arguing that our country is not perfect and it has some flaws. in time it is going to prosper and that discipline is a real good thing. it says that "that if we are to go forward, we must move as a trained and loyal army willing to sacrifice for the good of a common discipline, because without such discipline no progress is made, no leadership becomes effective." This shows that if we dont disicpline ourselves and train ourselves for the future that there may be problems but if we restrain our selves and follow rules that our country will be at a better place and will be flourishing.
How does the author appeal to logos (logic), pathos (emotional quality), and ethos (the writer’s perceived character) with their argument?
The author first (logos) talks about how america is not perfect and that we need to realize that if we do not restrain and discipline ourselves that we may be doomed. The second part (pathos) it talks about how everyone needs to have a job and with a job many tasks can be accomplished and how important it is that everyone works. The third thing was (Ethos) that the author is saying that the people of the United States have not failed but have asked for help to improve themselves and within time we can make our country better.
What is the historical significance/relevance of this document?
The historical Significance of this document is that it was written by President Roosevelt when he came into office in march 1933. it shows how right when he came into office his main focus was to improve the country and to make it better and to do that he wrote inaugural address in which he stated what he felt had to be improved and he did feel that in due time everything will be good.
Do you find the author’s argument convincing? Why or why not?
I do find the authors argument convincing because he stated all the things that he felt were wrong. He stated things such as "Values have shrunken to fantastic levels; taxes have risen; our ability to pay has fallen; government of all kinds is faced by serious curtailment of income" This shows that he knew what had to be improved and what the United States had to do in order to improve and better themselves since there were alot of problems which had to be addressed. His main focus was on how to make the country very prosperous and a strong nation.
