Throughout President Kennedy's Rice Stadium Moon Speech, he uses a number of rhetorical features and techniques in order to create a connection between himself and his audience of college students. He uses alliteration, allusions to people such as William Bradford, anaphoras, emotional words, and antitheses. The goal of this entire speech was to convince the students at the Rice Stadium to give their help in funding the exploration of space. His speech was made strong by the rhetorical techniques he utilized, using an informal tone to make the audience comfortable with him, and stating that he is grateful for the students being there. Hence, he was able to successfully persuade the students at Rice Stadium to contribute to this cause.
