Similarities Between John F Kennedy And Jfk Assassination

Presidential Inaugurations of John F. Kennedy and Joe Biden Presidential inaugurations are a monumental event during a president’s time in office. This speech outlines the plan for their presidency and is the first impression they leave once in power. I will discuss the use of rhetorical appeals and conventions by former President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in 1961, and President Joe Biden, in 2021, throughout their speeches. Furthermore, I will discuss and compare the drastic differences between reading the speech transcript and listening and watching the speech. John F.
