The Audacity of Hope Intro
President Obama once said, ââ¬Å"We are one peopleâ⬠in his speech The Audacity of Hope. Our nation show so much hate and anger but never take the blame. Everyone blames god, but if we are all gods people why do we point the finger at him? Obamaââ¬â¢s syntax, diction, and details show that it is time for us to stop the madness and hatred that we have for one another and stand up for each other because we are a family. Obamaââ¬â¢s syntax is significant because it get his message across clearly and effectively. For instance, Obama states that ââ¬Å"The true genius of America-a faith in simple dream, [is] an instance on small miraclesâ⬠.By separating his thoughts he emphasizes to the public by giving his own commentary on the true genius of America. The true genius of America is knowing that the smallest things in life do matter. Obama also said ââ¬Å"Out of many, one. â⬠With this fragment Obama shows that we are in depth. And we are all people although there ar e many different kinds and colors. Americaââ¬â¢s people are like many flowers in a garden, together we are a masterpiece. He uses simple words to describe his feelings about America.Obama backs up this notion by saying ââ¬Å"We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states. We coach Little League in the blue states, and yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states. There are patriots who opposed the war, and patriots who supported it. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, all of us defending the United States of Americaâ⬠. He effectively uses the ââ¬Å"Stars and Stripesâ⬠as a metaphor for our American flag. In this case red states stand for Republicans and blue states for Democrats.
