         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Both Barack Obama and Arnold&nbsp; Schwarzenegger provided their backstory in the beginning of their speech. For example Obama says &nbsp;</div><div>"Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor my grandfather&nbsp;</div><div>signed up for duty; joined Patton’s army, marched across Europe. Back home, my grandmother raised a baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the G.I. Bill, bought a house through F.H.A., and later moved west all the way to Hawaii in search of opportunity." Then Arnold also says in his speech&nbsp; "When I was a boy, the Soviets occupied part of Austria. I saw their tanks in the streets...I remember the fear we had when we had to cross into the Soviet sector."&nbsp;<br>2. In addition, both candidates support their party Representative running for presidency. Obama says &nbsp;</div><div>"In this election, we offer that choice. Our Party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has&nbsp;</div><div>to offer. And that man is John Kerry." An Arnold also talks about George W. Bush "We are one America -- We are one America and President Bush is defending it with all his heart and soul."<br>3. They both also refer to the American Dream. Obama says &nbsp;</div><div>"They imagined -- They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich,&nbsp;</div><div>because in a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential." Arnold then says "You know, someone once wrote: There are those who say that freedom is nothing but a dream. They are right. It's the American dream.&nbsp;"</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1) In both of the speeches, Obama and Schwarzenegger used the rhetorical appeal of pathos. They both specifically use the skill of story-telling that both talked about the hardships that their family has been through in the past. In Obama' speech " While studying here, my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas. Her father worked on oil rigs and farms through most of the Depression."</div><div>In Schwarzenegger's speech he stated in page 13 " When I was a boy, the Soviets occupied part of Austria. I saw their tanks in the streets. I saw communism with my own eyes. I remember the fear we had when we had to cross into the Soviet sector."<br><br>2) In Obama's and Schwarzenegger's speech, they are repetitive with their ideas' and beliefs. On page 21 of Obama's speech he constantly repeats the ideals' of John Kerry , "&nbsp;</div><div>John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves."&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;<br><br>3) In their speeches, both politicians emphasize how they want to make a better future for america. In Obama's speech he mentions it </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. One similarity between Arnold and Obama is that they both start off telling their origins. &nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;"scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become Governor of the State of California" - (Arnold) and "My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya.

         <title>In both Arnold&#39;s and Obama&#39;s 2004 Convention speeches, they both tell their backgrounds of either themselves or a family member. For example, in paragraphs 4-5 in Obama&#39;s speech and in paragraph&#39;s 8-10 in Arnold&#39;s speech.  Another similarity includes that both think that America is one of the greatest country&#39;s. This would be evidenced by both talking about America by Arnold saying , &quot;America is the highest economic growth of any of the world&#39;s major industrialized nations.&quot;  and Obama expressing what his father thought, as in &quot;that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before.&quot;</title>
