According to Obama America will make progress due to its people who were able to cope with difficult situations in the past. Main body At the beginning of his speech, Obama claims that America's future will be great and compares the people of the country to a family that must stick together. Although, he is of the opinion that American people are very different, he holds the view that they have certain hopes in common. They hope for the best education for their children as well as an economically and climatically stable country which guarantees equal opportunities. Moreover, American people want a strong military that will establish peace, freedom and dignity all over the world. They hope for a tolerant America where immigrants will be able to fulfill their dreams. Obama promises unlimited opportunities to America's children and describes the American Dream throughout his speech to his audience. He presents America as a country without any flaws, a country that is admired around the world. According to Obama, Americans appreciate the American Dream and therefore want to keep its promise that if you work hard, you will be able to fulfill your dreams, regardless of your nationality, skin colour, sex, class, physical ability or sexual orientation. methaphor & symbols • direct adress (we, you,...) • enumeration (Auteahlung) • parallelism Useful phrases (to) address an is Va proble (to) outline a vision rethorical questions aliteration anaphora (to) introduce (far-reaching) reforms (to) stress, emphasize, underline, highlight (to) reinforce one's point by (to) personally address sb.
