The word ―America‖ has been set to power in itself since it refers to a big nation where the people have devoted their national identity. Borrowing the symbolic power, Obama promotes Optimism with which they could overcome the crises. In the seventh paragraph, he states what American should choose to act over the crises. He addresses America as ―a young nation‖ implying that the country still has a long way to run. He demands a supportive attitude form the people by reminding them to ―set aside the childish things‖ which quoted from 1 Corinthians 13. By quoting from bible, he wants to be seen as a leader with good moral standard . With this image, he catches the attention of the people who shares the same value so that it is easier for him to persuade them. 14. We remain a young nation. 23, VII, a 15. But in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things . 24, VII, a 16. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. 25, VII, a ―the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness ‖ is quoted from the Bill of Rights. He wants the people to assert the American spirit of liberty in which they believe that human are created equal and free to have the chance to pursue their full measure of happiness. He believes with reminding this to the people will strengthen the influence of his address. Obama continues to speak about the excellence of the nation in the eighth and ninth paragraph referred as ―the greatness of or nation‖. Although in the previous paragraph he says that all men are born equal and free, he accentuates that the excellence is not a given but is to be achieved by struggle or ―never a given‖. What he is trying to attribute to this event is the sense of patriotism.Parts
