1. What is the author arguing?
Jonh F. Kennedys arguement was on the berlin wall that seperates the democratic west from the communist east. he exspressed his deeply resentment a man denided to make free choices and dislikes the way families were kept seperated."as long as one german out of four denide the elementry right of free men, and that is to make free choices". He also express what to me seemed that he was agenst the exspasion of Communisum.
2. How does the author appeal to logos (logic), pathos (emotional quality), and ethos (the writer’s perceived character) with their argument?
President Kennedy used multiple tactics a appeal to these topics. his approach toward the logistical problems was by simply mentioning no family, or peoples of the same backgroud/nationality should not be seperated by such means. "Separating families, dividing husbands and wives and brother and sister and dividing people who wish to be joined together!". he mentions that man deserves the the right to freedom. every german deserves the rights to presue peace for there nation. the character he his talking about is the berliners. he is attempting to gain simpithy for the german people seperated and apressed by the "Evil" communist goverment.
3. What is the historical significance /relevance of this document?
JFK made his ideal on the spread communisum clear. And around this time communisum was spreading all over the world. Places such as eastern europe, central and south america, asia, and even africa. which would lead to america attempting to halt its spreads, even through military actions such as the conflict's in vietnam.
