When the audience hears "to give a voice," "to add a rung," and "to make real," the changes that Senator Kennedy championed stand out as his legacy.]]> 2021-02-25 16:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1241888570 "It is a string of events that would have broken a lesser man. And it would have been easy for Teddy to let himself become bitter and hardened; to surrender to self-pity and regret; to retreat from public life and live out his years in peaceful quiet. No one would have blamed him for that. But that was not Ted Kennedy"(5-6) sp313 https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242617748 By showing that Kennedy had suffered a lot which could have made him live in self pity all his life, but he did not, I believe that Obama is trying to comfort the audience to help them move on. By showing the Kennedy would not have lived like that himself, Obama is trying to show the audience that he probably would not have liked his friends and family suffering all their life either. ]]> 2021-02-25 18:37:42 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242617748 "It is a string of events that would have broken a lesser man. And it would have been easy for Teddy to let himself become bitter and hardened...No one would have blamed him for that" (5). https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242617896 President Obama lets his audience know that despite what Kennedy has been through, he stayed strong with a positive mindset even when people would've understood why he went cold and distant/shut off from society. This gives an inspirational impact to his audience that Kennedy is like a warrior, and to see him as a figure of empowerment to encourage those around him to keep on going despite of life's obstacles.]]> 2021-02-25 18:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242617896 "The landmark laws that he championed—the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, immigration reform, children’s health care, the Family and Medical Leave Act—all have a running thread." (7) https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242667686 President Obama informs the audience on Kennedy's accomplishments he did during he served his time in the United States Senate from 1962 until his death. Obama is trying to let the audience know that he was a warrior and did not like to waste time during his serving time.]]> 2021-02-25 18:46:47 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242667686 "He lost two siblings by the age of sixteen. He saw two more taken violently from the country that loved them.** He said goodbye to his beloved sister, Eunice, in the final days of his own life. He narrowly survived a plane crash, watched two children struggle with cancer, buried three nephews, and experienced personal failings and setbacks in the most public way possible. " (4) https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1242741457 President Obama uses both anecdotes and pathos. He uses real life traumatic events/stories, aka anecdotes, from Kennedy's life in order to evoke emotions from the audience, aka pathos.

(6) https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243029215 He contributes the poem by Wordsworth to further add onto the character and person that Kennedy was and to show those how strong and overall selfless of a man he was for those around him and his country]]> 2021-02-25 19:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243029215 He said goodbye to his beloved sister, Eunice, in the final days of his own life.

(4) https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243488023 Obama is giving us a look at some of the hardest thing ted had to go though. He wants us in a way to feel sympathy for him and remember he made it through some hard times. ]]> 2021-02-25 22:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243488023 "He lost two siblings by the age of sixteen" (4). https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243616030 By including traumatic stories from Kennedy's life, the audience is able to sympathize for him. Obama later includes Kennedy's greatest achievements which makes them seem more impressive due to the struggle hes had to endure in the past.]]> 2021-02-25 23:19:27 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243616030 "The landmark laws that he championed—the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, immigration reform, children’s health care, the Family and Medical Leave Act—all have a running thread" (7). https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243697598 In this part of the speech, President Obama names some of Senator Kennedy's accomplishments. In a eulogy you obviously commemorate the loss of the person in a good way, but in a way that isn't divisive. Being involved in politics calls for disagreement between parties, but this section focus more on basic rights, which is often times bipartisan. He appeals to our sense of pride in support of his actions. ]]> 2021-02-26 00:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243697598 "youngest child of Rose and Joseph Kennedy" and "Ted Kennedy was the baby of the family who became its patriarch" (1 and 3) https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243782543 I found it interesting and one usually why Obama mentioned that Kennedy was the "youngest" or the "baby". In my eyes maybe it was for the audience to give sympathy for being a younger one in the family and accomplishing so much. It could also be to show that as the youngest he suffered the most loss as he would later transition into the many deaths and tragic experiences Mr. Kennedy would face. However, I am not too sure about what these quotes exactly add to the eulogy it was just something I noticed and stuck out to me.]]> 2021-02-26 00:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243782543 It is a string of events that would have broken a lesser man. And it would have been easy for Teddy to let himself become bitter and hardened; to surrender to self-pity and regret; to retreat from public life and live out his years in peaceful quiet. No one would have blamed him for that. But that was not Ted Kennedy. As he told us, “. . . [I]individual faults and frailties are no excuse to give in—and no exemption from the common obligation to give of ourselves.” (5 and 6) https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243979514 This really spoke to me because it shows how much someone can go through but never give up. And even though it might sound cheesy when people say "don't give in" or "don't give up" it is a hundred percent true and no one should ever give up. ]]> 2021-02-26 03:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1243979514 Through his own suffering, Ted Kennedy became more alive to the plight and suffering of others— the sick child who could not see a doctor; the young soldier sent to battle without armor; the citizen denied her rights because of what she looks like or who she loves or where she comes from. The landmark laws that he championed—the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, immigration reform, children’s health care, the Family and Medical Leave Act—all have a running thread. https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1244215047 This quote, although long, is a really nice example of mirroring done by President Obama. Obama, in this quote, not only used repetition, but also mirrored sentence structure. The repetition throughout this quote helps really equalize the struggles that Kennedy saw, but also show how many different kinds of suffering he was exposed to. In the second repetition, he actually just lists out the different acts and legislation passed, showcasing the full impact Kennedy had on American people. Finally, the mirrored sentences structure makes it so that it almost seems like for every struggle that Kennedy saw, he created a solution. These kinds of rhetorical choices and structural choices really help portray Kennedy as a person worth commemorating. ]]> 2021-02-26 06:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1244215047 "This spirit of resilience and good humor would see Ted Kennedy through more pain and tragedy than most of us will ever know"(4) vg337 https://padlet.com/monicacraggs/4ocomdedqmpkgqpa/wish/1244357548 Speaks to his character and tells us his experiences.
