In the beginning of his speech Barack talks of how “what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names” which is targeting our past triumphs in these regards by disregarding any racial or religious differences and instead embracing each other as citizens of america. Barack is specifically concentrating on the sense of patriotism the crowd feels and is evoking that feeling from within them as he speaks and alludes to glorious moments in the nation's past. Towards the middle of Barack Obama's speech he alludes to the civil war to once again revive that feeling of patriotism in the people before him. The pathos shown in Barack’s speech targets the patriotism the people feel and how proud they are in the fact they overcame their religious and racial struggles hoping to evoke an even greater feeling of patriotism as Barack continues to reference these moments of oppression and righteousness. In the other part of Barack Obama’s speech he tells of how we have endured, adapted, and struggled through misfortune and must adapt to the times. Barack says “we have always understood that when times change, so must we” and “now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation and one people”. Barack relentlessly says we and refers to himself and everyone else as one nation to bring forth a sense of unity and patriotism from Barack referring to himself as one of many in this nation. By saying all these words that include many people and rarely just referring to himself but telling of how we will all do it together, Barack attempts to bring the people to be closer to him and like him even more since he doesn’t say he is doing it by himself. Barack makes sure to tell everyone that he notices the little people, the gears in the clock that makes it go round and that he appreciates them. Barack does this and the pathos shown in this makes them emotionally happy and proud that he, Barack Obama, the president knows what they do matters and he appreciates it. The speech Barack Obama gives is one of bringing himself closer to the people by referring to all of them
