Many fine words have been said regarding the Berlin Wall and the problems surrounding it. The incredible speeches and words spoken by John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan shed new light on these customs and the conflict with the separation of Berlin, Germany. In their inspiring words, they used countless rhetorical strategies such as anaphora, imagery and the use of their speaker's language to enhance and emphasize their words and attract the people and in doing so, quickly brought together the city ​​of Berlin. Their uses of rhetoric were indeed similar to each other, as was the way they addressed the people of Berlin and the Russian chancellor, as well as their goal of bringing down the Berlin Wall and dividing communities. whole families, and friends are closed. In Kennedy's speech "Ich bin ein Berliner", Kennedy uses an anaphora "the proudest boast was... in the world of liberty, the proudest boast is Ich bin ein Berliner", to appeal to the people of Berlin. and the families affected by the wall, and to give them confidence and pride, because they are unique and show no madness in the face of their current unfortunate situation (Kennedy). He said this to enhance the power of his words and to address his audience in a way that would ring clear even with such simplicity. His choice of anaphora proved wise in combining their simplicity to convey a powerful description to his audience, the people of Berlin. Reagan in his “Remarks at the Brandenburg Gate” also used anaphora: Reagan said: “Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces… with courtesy and peace. Freedom wins", Reagan was however addressing a specific person, rather than a large consultation, instead he was...... middle of paper...... through his repetition also when he states "if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization", while repeating "Mr. Gorbachev" to add more sincerity to his speech (Reagan). Both presidents' uses of repetition clearly emphasized the point they were making, the point that East and West Berlin should be reunited again and freed from the concrete wall that separates them so much. . It also gave both presidents credibility with the citizens of Berlin, in that they understood the exact problems these people were grappling with and that the only way to solve them is to bring unity and freedom in East and West Berlin. “Ich bin ein Berliner”, these words spoken by Kennedy were the first words spoken by him in German and greatly appealed to the Berliners who heard his speech (Kennedy).
