George W. Bush and the Rhetoric of 9/11

Today in class we read George W. Bush's address to the nation the night of September 11, 2001. You need to analyze the speech for tone, audience, purpose and effective examples of rhetoric. Please be prepared to discuss the effectiveness of the strategies in class tomorrow. Also, think about the similarities and differences in TAP and rhetoric in comparison to Bush's speech and Leonard Pitts, Jr.'s "We'll Go Forward From This Moment."

We also began the documentary film, 9/11.

Remember to work on Friday reading!
