John F. Kennedy, the 35th president, was assassinated on November 22, 1963 while visiting Dallas, Texas. John F. Kennedy's murder has been so called "solved" and closed for the past 53 years, however, different theories about his death have continue to add up. Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassinator of John F. Kennedy, was assassinated 2 days later before having a chance to make any comments about his so-called "crime."

In his news conference, John F. Kennedy utilizes juxtaposition and parallelism to support his idea that with the decline of huge companies, the price of things is going to start to increase significantly for Americans. The first rhetorical strategy Kennedy uses in his news conference is juxtaposition to show that with the decline in workers and the decline in profit will create an increase in prices around the country. This is shown when he says "when we are devoting our energies to economic recovery and stability, when we are asking Reservists to leave their homes and families for months on end, and servicemen to risk their lives- and four were killed in the last two days in Viet Nam- and asking union members to hold down their wage requests,

Robert F. Kennedy developed his argument about Martin Luther 's King 's assassination by giving details about somethings Martin Luther King Jr wanted to do for people. One thing is that he didn 't put Martin Luther King 's real speech, but he did an excellent thing by informing those who didn 't know about Martin 's assassination. For example one of the things he wanted to change was that all black people should have the same rights as all white people. I agree with this because no one should be treated differently everyone should be at a equal place. He had a dream that he would change all this cruelty for the best!

Lee Harvey Oswald Oswald is one of the most recognizable names in history, the one man alone assassinated John F. Kennedy, president of The United States in 1963. Life for this man is up for question but some facts are known about Oswald, such as his childhood and teenage life. The secret life this man had was very off putting but helped investigative forces the reasoning behind him killing JFK.
It’s the year 1976, the United States Senate has just called for a new inquiry into the infamous assassination of President John F. Kennedy, who was shot in 1963 during his own motorcade in Dallas, TX while running for re-election. The CIA along with the FBI were coaxed into releasing new documents on Lee Harvey Oswald, and individuals who had not given evidence previously were persuaded to come forward. Pieces of evidence such as sound recordings and photographs were being subjected to scientific research analysis using more modern equipment. In 1979 the House Select Committee on Assassinations, or (HCSA), finally came to a verdict that Lee Harvey Oswald shot three times at the president; one of which, hitting his head and killing him. It was also concluded that a fourth shot was taken from ‘the grassy knoll’, which was something that was contradicting to the statement given by the Warren Commission 16 years earlier.
“The JFK assassination was the seminal national event in the lives of the Baby Boomer generation.” (Donald Jeffries) The tragic incident that happened in 1963 will never be forgotten, but somehow good things came from it.

In a summary, all the president’s assassination cases are not similar like the JFK so that I think the fact that behind the President John Kennedy’s cases is still mysterious and complicated. May be the Director of the CIA was Allen Dulles was a mastermind in the truth behind the President JFK. In the book The Devil Chess Board, Allen Dulles, the CIA and the Rise of America’s secret government by David Talbot summarized about the powerful president of the Cold Wald by that time wanted to eliminate the President JFK for a beneficial purpose of America. The Director, Allen Dulles, has been accused he betrayed every president as he served before and he may be seen as the mastermind in the assassination of the President John F. Kennedy. Not stop
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was an important American figure in the time he was alive and in his presidency. However, it all came to a very violent end. The President was going from state to state trying to get people to vote for him in the next election. He was at a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. At around 12:30 in the afternoon, gunshots came from behind the cars and struck the president in the back of the head (“JFK Assassination”).
I think Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in a larger conspiracy. I Think this because there were multiple shooters and I don't think it was just him. Oswald might have been pushed to do it by the government or like the Russian government because J.F.K knew something and didn't want j.fk to tell. What I mean by pushed is he was forced like getting a bribe or getting threatened.
Section IV discusses the time period of the investigation by the House Select Committee on Assassinations, whose existence is owed to the Assassination Information Bureau, from its start-up to its blazing end (Oglesby, 1992, p. 1, 23). As such, it arguably discusses a wider range of topics than any other section; it is also the longest section, spanning pages 117 to 256. First on the list are the connections Lee Harvey Oswald had with three Congressional witnesses who, all within a week’s time, appeared to have committed suicide or been executed (Oglesby, 1992, p. 121-135). Chapters 7 through 10, which cover pages 137 to 175, talk about, for one, the media’s “hard time reporting developments” and declaration that “there was nothing new”
