President George W. Bush gave this speech, The State of the Union Address. He presented to Congress in the capitol building and was also televised and broadcasted over the radio for the citizens of our country to hear.

I decided to first examine the visual aspects of President Bush’s State of the Union Address. His appearance was professional, he wore a black suit, which was plain but was an excellent choice for such a serious speech. He was very neatly groomed which gave him a more powerful p

The composition of the speech was also good. He had many topics to discuss and was the topics were interesting to the American public. His introduction definitely got my attention because he addressed every audience member. When you feel specifically addressed it seems you pay more attention. He also gave a thesis statement of the topics he was going to discuss; this gave us a brief overview of where he was going with the speech. He also made us aware that his specific purpose was to address all the problems the United States is encountering especially warfare. The topics he listed and then spoke of included; the economy, tax cuts, health care, the environment, the homeless, AIDS, and Terrorism. He spoke on all of these topics with knowledge and logic and showed compassion when necessary. One topic I wasn’t completely convinced of when he spoke on the environmental policy. I felt that you could see his uncertainty. He isn’t an expert on the subject and you can tell how little he really knew. His other points were stated more confidently and he seemed knowledgeable of all the other points. His transitions were very fluent from point to point and it was clear when he started with his next topic. His conclusion didn’t tie in the rest of the speech but by doing so he would have taken away from the speech. By ending with a summary of his speech he would have taken away from the emphasis he put on the topic of terrorism. Instead, he ended with a sense of determination to enhance the faith in the United States and to rid the world of attacks of terror. He also stressed his love and compassion for America, as well as those affected by previous attacks and their families. He wanted to end showing the world his confidence in our country and his plans.
