The Apollo 11 : A Symbol Of Man 's Greatness

In the second text, “In Event of Moon Disaster” by William Safire, he also appealed to SOAPS and ethos logos and pathos. Although William might have written the speech, President Nixon was going to be the one to have read it aloud if all went downhill, so the speaker is Nixon. The occasion is the “funeral speech” he would have given if the mission was not successful. The audiences were all the Americans and loved ones of the astronauts on the mission, basically the entire world that was watching and waiting for the results of Apollo 11. The purpose of this speech was to address not only the families of the deceased loved ones but also the entire nation as well. It was to be used as a precaution just in case the first ever moon landing failed. The subject would be the worst case scenario of the moon landing. Nixon’s speech appealed to ethos because he is the president. By him having that title, it makes him a credible source because he's the one who must help guide the American people in the face of such tragedy. The speech appealed to logos by implying there was no chance of the astronauts making it back. Pathos was established because it was overall a very delicate subject. Safire used emotional connections with the audience by

In the four texts of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission in which it discusses the landing of the first humans on the moon, the texts were from Times of London, William Safire, novelist Ayn Rand, and Herblock. The head of the mission Apollo 11, was Neil Armstrong. Neil took a colleague named Edwin Colleague. The whole world was watching this tremendous event that shocked the world. President Nixon was seen as a powerful leader to have held and arrange such a suspense, horrific event. In the first text, “Man Takes First Step on the Moon”, by the Times, gives the perspective of Neil Armstrong and how all the leader around the world have given respect to the US for being the first to make it to the moon. The second text, “In the Event of Moon Disaster”, by William Safire, it gives the view of the people seeing the astronauts as heroes. In the third text, “ The July 16, 1969, Launch: A Symbol of Man's Greatness”, by Ayn Rand, is based on the perspective of a NASA guide. In the illustration of the cartoon, ”Transported”, by Herblock, shows the reality of society in the time of chaos. The rhetorical appeals, pathos, ethos, and logos are used in these texts to attempt to achieve its purpose.

I believe the author achieved their purpose because they reported what happened before, during, and after Armstrong took those first strides. The second text, “In event of moon disaster” purpose was to thank and honor the men that died for the “search for truth and understanding”.The speaker would have been President Nixon and the writer was William Safire, the audience being the victims families, people of america and people of the rest of the world. Safire appeals to ethos because he has credibility as the man who writes all the “president's speeches and it would have been President Nixon giving the speech. The tex appeals to logos by the logic that they died for a good and noble reason to “search for truth and understanding” Pathos is applied by the event being astronauts death which would be obvisouly higly emotionally charged and by applying feelings of solemness (if it actually happened) and gratefulness becuaase this disaster didnnt happen.Also feelings of hope with saying “others will follow and sure;y find their way

On July 16, 1969, NASA launched a shuttle into space containing Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. They were going to be the first people to step foot on the Moon. This mission into the unknown caused a commotion on Earth. Many reputable news sources across the world created various sources about this event. These are weighted with the high emotions that ran through the world as well as the facts gathered as the brave men first put their footprints on the barren surface of the Moon. The creators of each peice used logos, pathos, and ethos to get the desired response from their audiences.

The speaker of this text is William Safire. The occasion also has to do with the moon landing, but it talks about what would have been said by President Nixon’s speechwriter if the mission was not successful. The audience would be the entire world, because it would have been a tragedy if it was not accomplished Safire would have told everyone in the planet about it. The purpose of this text would have been to let everyone know about the fatal deaths that happened in the attempt to have landed on the moon and to also let everyone know how they feel about losing these souls and that they would always be remembered. The subject of the text is to notify everyone in the world about the failure of the moon landing. Ethos is shown in the text because it is proving that it is credible and trustworthy since this would have been said by someone that President Nixon knew. Pathos is also displayed in the text because it claims that, “ They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.” This proves that there is emotions and everyone would have been very sorrowful and depressed for the lives that had just been lost. Logos is shown in the text by stating the year in which it was released and since it said it was “prepared” then that means that it was written ahead of time before it was released,

The purpose of this speech was in case that it was a disaster and the astronauts died in the moon landing. The writer of this article uses both ethos and pathos. He appeals pathos of being realistic to the situation and presenting all of them as heroes and also, he honors their death which is appealing to the emotions of many people. The way he claims ethos is also in the speech because of President Nixon. Since President Nixon was a president, this makes the speech more honest and honorable then if was given by anyone. The writer of the article is expressing their point of view very strong because he claims to the emotions of many people by explaining who these men were and how they had done was an act of heroism. This is a important to people to know what they were going through and what they had to

Those inspiring words of the first man on the moon sure have made their mark in history. Not only did Apollo 11, the first successful mission in landing man on the moon, affect future space discovery, it impacted the world, by helping people understand how much they can be capable. For those reasons , putting man on the moon was and still is a significant moment to this day for all people.

On July 20, 1969, humanity did itself proud in spite of all its wars, sadism, hatred, and insanity. We set foot on another planet. Men walked on the moon. This changed our belief in what we could accomplish.

To begin with, the Times article which appeared in a special 5am edition of the Times of London was made specifically to inform the audience of the details and facts of the landing; while the article contains some effective rhetoric devices and promotes the concept of human success its primary focus is providing logical information to the readers. “Man Takes First Steps On The Moon” appeals to logos, pathos and ethos providing accurate information about the moon landing success for the audience. The newspaper which is easily recognizable and high status gives the article ethos automatically. Because of the newspaper's name the readers can assume that the writer is reliable and trustworthy. By this ethos being automatic it helps with logos appeals because the audience will then think the Times article is correct and dependable. Not only are ethos appeals found but logos as well. The article appeals to logos because its main focus is to be informative and it does this by using specific details and facts to help maintain the focus. The way the information in the article is presented is to the point and

There have been some major accomplishes in the United States during the United States. On July 16, 1969, the spacecraft called Apollo 11 launched. Apollo would take 3 American men to the moon. An estimated 530 million people watched the launch. On July 20, 1969, the Men apart of the Apollo 11 spacecraft made history, the first on the moon. Another accomplishment is the modern

Many accomplishments throughout the years, in the United States have formed our country to a nationalist society. On July 20th, 1969, the Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas received the call, “Houston”, which confirmed the landing of these three astronauts on the moon. Recently though, many discussions of the Apollo 11 mission have astonished thoughts of many Americans. Conspiracy theorists are looking at the Moon Landing as a hoax and one big set up that Americans were fooled into believing actually happened. In 1974, Bill Kasying wrote a book entitled We Never Went to the Moon:

One writer, William Safire, wrote a speech called "In Event of Moon Disaster" for President Nixon to read if the mission failed. The speech has a very unique perspective, because it was written in case something went wrong; that makes it have a very somber tone. Safire appeals to the listener’s emotions when he says "the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace." This is showing the innocence that the men had in their "search for truth and understanding" (Safire). Safire also uses phrases like "they stirred the people to feel as one" and "man's search will not be denied" to empower the American people and to say they will not give up on the space exploration. It is also very important to realize who would have given the speech. The speech was

July 20 1969, the moment frozen in every person’s mind as the single most important event which captured the strength and ingenuity of the human race. Commander of Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong, is often solely attributed with the success of the moon landing. Often forgotten, however, is the thousands of people who worked tirelessly to ensure the space landing was a success. During the peak of the Apollo program, a workforce including 90 000 engineers and scientists, 20 000 from industrial firms and 100 universities were employed forming the “apex of a social pyramid comprising the scientific, technical, and industrial power of a whole society,” (Mclaughlin, 1999). In addition to physical manpower, the moon landing was also enabled due to several
