A- The audience is for the citizens of the US, especially those with ties to European countries, like immigrants.
P- The point of view is from Woodrow Wilson, as the country's leader. He is speaking for the government by saying he doesn't want the country to get involved.
P- The purpose of this is to let the American people know that he wants the US to stay neutral, and so that means they have to have neutral opinions and not take sides.

H- Before U.S. entered into the war

P- The purpose is to emphasize that dividing the country hinders us as a nation from coming into peace
P- Wilson's neutral point of view is strongly expressed in the meaning of this speech as well as his policy on moral imperialism

b) Wilson's point of view on this comes from a neutral standpoint. He classifies "Americans" as those who have a love for their country and remain loyal to the government. This is what should unify us as citizens of America not race, gender, or any other physical factor. American would naturally have sympathy towards the war effort because it is their families and people who are drafted to fight in it.]]> 2017-03-09 18:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/abbymaska/xgxtga8h8ky6/wish/159083450 H- Before America joined WW1 laurenangel_48 https://padlet.com/abbymaska/xgxtga8h8ky6/wish/159083525 A- Speech is directed towards US and Wilson directed to congress

Pressure is being put on America to place their loyalty with one side or the other.
A: This speech is part of Wilson’s address to members of the U.S. Congress. This address would have likely been put in newspapers as well so that a wider audience of Americans could learn about it.
P: This speech has a persuasive theme. Wilson is declaring neutrality in the war and ensuring that members of congress share this opinion throughout his address.
P: Wilson was an advocate for peace and America had a long-standing tradition of keeping itself out of European affairs. The president felt this history of anti-involvement was a quintessential part of American politics and wished to carry it on throughout the great war.
