Rhetorical Appeals Application
 “Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any
enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and
armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no
other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the
British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them?
Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have
we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up
in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain.”

Rhetorical Appeals Application
 “So we can talk all we want here in Washington about issues like education and
health care and crime; we can build good schools; we can put money into
creating good jobs; we can do everything we can to keep our streets safe -- but
government can’t keep our kids from looking for trouble on those streets.
Government can’t force a kid to pick up a book or make sure that the
homework gets done. Government can’t be there day in, day out, to provide
discipline and guidance and the love that it takes to raise a child. That’s our job
as fathers, as mothers, as guardians for our children.”—Obama, Father’s Day
