Comments on Kennedy’s Inaugural AddreAs a whole, Kennedy’s inaugural addre is great and wonderful.It is clear and neat in structure and in content lots of rhetorical devices are used.However, what is the most impreive is his choice of words.It is known that different words have different effects on what is expreed.When addreing the poor, Kennedy says:” we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves.” Here, he uses ” help them help themselves” instead of “help them” in order to emphasize that they—the united states will help the poor out of poverty only on the condition that they must support America rather than help them for nothing, which obviously shows his attitude.Besides, Kennedy calls them fellow citizens when addreing American citizens.Fellow, we all know, has the connotation of equality.And here, Kennedy— the president of the united states, should choose this word to call his citizens, which can greatly shorten the distance between him and his citizens, and more importantly, stir up citizens’ inner patriotic emotion.At the same time, it also lays the foundation of Kennedy’s’ summoning in the following addre.How great significance does a word make!
From all of this, we have to admire Kennedy’s skill in choosing words, which not only makes his addre more contagious and persuasive, but also helps him achieve what he has expected.
