Group by Historical Background and Context On January 20, 1961, a clerk of the U.S. Supreme Court held the large Fitzgerald fami

ly Bible as John F. Kennedy took the oath of office to become the nation’s 35th president. Against a backdrop of deep snow and sunshine, more than twenty thousand people huddled in 20-degree temperatures on the east front of the Capitol to witness the event. Kennedy, having removed his topcoat and projecting both youth and vigor, delivered what has become a landmark inaugural address. His audience reached far beyond those gathered before him to people around the world. In preparing for this moment, he sought both to inspire the nation and to send a message abroad signaling the challenges of the Cold War and his hope for peace in the nuclear age. He also wanted to be brief. As he’d remarked to his close advisor, Ted Sorensen, ―I don’t want people to think I’m a windbag. He assigned Sorensen the task of studying other inaugural speeches and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address to glean the secrets of successful addresses. The finely-crafted delivered speech had been revised and reworked numerous times by Kennedy and Sorensen until the President-elect was satisfied. Though not the shortest of inaugural addresses, Kennedy’s was shorter than most at 1,355 words in length and, like Lincoln’s famous speech, was comprised of short phrases and words. In addition to the message, word choice, and length, he recognized that captivating his audience required a powerful delivery. On the day before and on the morning of Inauguration Prepared by the Department of Education and Public Programs, John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum Day, he kept a copy handy to take advantage of any spare moment to review it, even at the breakfast table. What many consider to be the most memorable and enduring section of the speech came towards the end when Kennedy called on all Americans to commit themselves to service and sacrifice: ―And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. He then continued by addressing his international audience: ―My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Having won the election by one of the smallest popular vote margins in history, Kennedy had known the great importance of this speech. People who witnessed the speech or heard it broadcast on television and radio lauded the new President. Even elementary school children wrote to him with their reactions to his ideas. Following his inaugural address, nearly seventy-five percent of Americans expressed approval of President Kennedy.

First, anacoluthon evident while saying "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country" to place emphasis on the shift/flip in thought process.

chiasmus- the inversion of country, you -you, country

asterismos- "my fellow americans" being it's fairly obvious that at an inaugural speech the vast majority, if not all absent invited foreign diplomats, only Americans are in attendance. However, it seemed necessary to bring the speech to an almost informal level to reach all listeners with a sense of unity and level field.

short of analyzing the entire speech, this famed phrase holds to be a powerful insighter of the original idealism this country was founded on. the idea that if every citizen does their part, no matter how little, our country would continue to prosper and thrive exponentially to become truly the world's greatest nation.

zhenek [66]

Full question: Read the excerpt from Iqbal.

It's true that Karim did everything the master wanted and that he supervised us, because otherwise he would have had nowhere to go and nothing to eat, but he would never have had the courage to peek into the master's windows. It was big trouble for anyone to go near the house.

In this excerpt, the author characterizes Karim’s actions to: reveal that Karim is unafraid of Hussain Khan. is dependent on Hussain Khan. enjoys working for Hussain Khan. wants to leave Hussain Khan.

Answer: Is dependent on Hussain Khan.

Explanation:

We can see at the beginning of the excerpt that Karim did everything that the master wanted because without him there would be nothing to eat and live which means that he is dependent on his master.

  • The narrator is clearly showing his dependence and he is dependent on him because those things that he is working for him are bringing him things that are important for his living. If he doesn't do everything for his master, there would be no life for him, he would not have food or home.
