Question

Read the excerpt from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

Answer 1

Answer: Logos

In this excerpt, Reagan is using logos in order to convey a message to his audience. Reagan tells us that the United States is pursuing arms reductions. However, he wants to think of how important it is to maintain the capacity to deter Soviet aggression at all levels. He supports this statement by explaining the way the United States will carry this out and by outlining what the consequences of these actions might be.

Answer 2

Logos, a logical appeal. Because he gives reason to his plea. To increase the safety and security of Europe, the United States, and the World. To decrease the aggression of the then Soviet Union.
