In the speech Obama addresses many
higher education issues including the importance of students graduating high
school and furthering their education. He also discusses the importance of
making college more affordable so that the youth of America can do so without
being in debt for the rest of their lives. He also talks about the importance
of creating more jobs here in the states. He presents his speech in a
deliberative manner because he intends to persuade the audience that he is
correct about what needs to be done to correct certain issues.
Obama begins his speech with a
strong introduction. He instantly grabs the audience’s attention by saying
hello and giving thanks to all who are responsible for him being there. He does
this with enthusiasm and energy to relate to his audience, which is full of
college students. He even connects with the students by responding to those who
call out to him and making jokes with them. He then makes sure to give a preview
of the speech by highlighting the main importance of what will be discussed. He
expresses how important it is that all students in America receive the
education that they need to succeed in the world today and how this can be made
possible. He also discusses the issue of sending jobs overseas. He states that
there needs to be more jobs here in America.
The body of the speech contains
Obamas clear arguments for how he intends to bring manufacturing back to
America. He presents his ideas through the use of the problem and solution
pattern. He states what the issues are
and then how they can be corrected. For example he expresses that there needs
to be more jobs in America. He then states that congress needs to stop
rewarding companies that are shipping jobs overseas, but instead support
companies that create more jobs here in the states. He also discusses the
importance of not letting other countries control our energy supply. He proposes
that we need to focus on clean and renewable energy sources. This will create more
jobs and help keep our planet clean.
After Obama discusses certain ways in which America can create more jobs
he then talks about the importance of receiving a higher education. He brings
awareness to how expensive college has become and how many cannot afford
it. At one point he says that college
loan debt has surpassed credit card debt. After he presents this issue he then
states multiple solutions for how he is working to lower college expenses. He
also explains what Congress, Sate, colleges and Universities have to do as well
to lower the costs. For example he says that the study jobs need to double over
the next five years so that students can pay their way through college.
After Obama finishes talking about each aspect of his speech in great depth,
he ends strong. He concludes his speech by telling the students that he has
faith in them to lead a great country. He tells the students that they inspire
him and he’s proud of them. He then wraps up his speech by saying thanks and
God bless America.
