Barack Obama's Inaugural Address

Obama persuades the people to believe in and follow him by keeping the speech interesting and full of information that the people want to hear. The speech is set up like an essay where the writer makes his points and then later on goes into greater detail for each topic. At the beginning of his speech he mentions the wars that are going on, how bad our economy is, and how the Earth is being destroyed; and the people know that later on in the speech he will go back to those points and discuss them more in depth. He talks about ways we can avoid and help these issues that the United States is going through. Another big point he made was when he mentioned schools and how students are not doing as well in classes and that this issue needs to be fixed.
