Part 2
Context - The speaker was Barbara Jordan
- Jackson's purpose was to convince the Judiciary Committee to impeach President Nixon. He mentions his opinions at the time Nixon was under investigation for the Water Gate Scandal.
- Jackson makes it clear that the speech was not just a one and one speech but rather a speech to be televised to the entire nation.
- Jackson informs us that Nixon is republican while most of the Senate was Democrat.
- The audience was the House Judiciary Committee
Text
- Ethos - Faith in the Constitution was misused from Nixon in order to defend himself from breaking the rules
- Pathos -Jackson used the paper shredder to show that what Nixon did was wrong and unjust to the Constitution
- Logos - The only logic i noticed was that Jackson used citations including quoting people but im still shaky on logos so please help
My Context
- Barbara Jordan seems to have know quite a bit about the constitution which makes her more a threat to Nixon.
My Text
- The style of Jackson's writing formal while keeping personal touches to express his feeling on the topic.
