PERSUASION PAPER 2

Principle purpose for the Speech

The main principle purpose of President George W. Bush to give a speech was to address

the nation and respond to the terrorist attack that had taken place some twelve hours earlier. He

wanted to highlight that United States as country had been in a strong state of union until that

particular night when they were awakened to danger from a terrorist act which created the need

and call to defend their freedom. He highlighted that having stayed for long peacefully as a

country with only one night causing a grief; the grief had turned into anger and anger to

resolution. He made it clear that whether they bring the enemies to justice or bring the justice to

the enemies the justice will still be done. The main principle purpose that Bush believed he had

to give a speech was because the attack would become a defining moment in his presidency. This

is because the act would affect the country’s foreign policy and required legal and appropriate

ways of dealing with the issue of terrorism (Tuman, 2010). Other aims of president’s Bush

speech to the nation was to attempt to bring people together to fight terrorism, to assure the

nation that no matter what had happened the government was still in action, to ask their country

friends to support the move of opposing terrorism, and to vow to bring to justice those

responsible for the attacks.

Audiences for the Speech

The main audience for this speech was the U.S. Citizens who had been closely affected

by the act because for what they could have considered a normal day turned into a day of

confusion and tragedy. As a nation, the president had to come in to reassure the citizens that the

government had their backs and was going to take charge and bring justice to those were

responsible of the attack (Schwarz, 2008). He also wanted his message to reach to other nations
