Summary of Speech


The text that I’m summarizing is the Obama speech on gun control. The title of the article is Transcript President Obama, Joe Biden speech on gun control the author of the article is Brandon jones. A short overview of Obama’s speech is that he is talking about the new proposal on gun control. Obama starts of talking about the Sandy Hook devastation and how we lost 20 children and 6 adults that day. He uses pathos when he talks about the innocent people who died and even told us how 900 more people died in the last month because of gun use. He talks about how he wants to make getting guns more difficult, and not as easy as it is right now. He also speaks on getting better security for schools and better emergency preparedness plans. He also states what congress needs to do to make a difference.

  1. Hi Brittney,
    I really like that you chose a text that is relatively current and relates to a hot-button political issue. The speech is full of strong rhetoric and you should have plenty to discuss in your essay. Good luck!
