Read and view President George W. Bush's address to the nation, delivered on September 20, 2001. Then answer the following questions in as essay of 600-900 words:
• What was the general purpose in the speech? What was its specific purpose? Provide evidence from the speech to support your claims. (It was not the general purpose of the speech "to provide new information." It was persuasive, not informative. Therefore, the specific purpose could not be "to provide new information about the war on terror.")
• Using the discussion of evidence in Chapter 7 and the discussion of persuasion in Chapter 14, list the types of supporting material the president used in his speech. Give an example of how each type of supporting material is used and then evaluate his use of this evidence. Rely on outside sources, even if you disagree with their conclusions, to help you identify his arguments and evidence. Use the additional reading by Jamieson in this Lesson as a model for testing supporting material, and cite it is as needed. Include at least one other scholarly reference to support your argument.
