"We choose to go to the moon" Speech.
On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered his "We Choose to Go to the Moon" speech to a crowd of thousands at Rice University Stadium in Houston, Texas. The country was unsure about the time and cost of sending a man to the moon, and President Kennedy's speech addressed their uncertainty. Read the excerpts from Kennedy's speech. Then, respond to the prompt that follows.
I am delighted to be here, and I'm particularly delighted to be here on this occasion. We meet at a college noted for knowledge, in a city noted for progress, in a State noted for strength, and we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this Nation's own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times that of our population as a whole, despite that, the vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension.
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his quest for knowledge and progress, is determined and cannot be deterred. The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time, and no nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in the race for space.
Those who came before us made certain that this country rode the first waves of the industrial revolutions, the first waves of modern invention, and the first wave of nuclear power, and this generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space. We mean to be a part of it—we mean to lead it. For the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace.
We set sail on this new sea because there is new knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won, and they must be won and used for the progress of all people. For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say that we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of space any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that space can be explored and mastered without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.
We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

Purpose: To inspire and motivate the country to support the mission to send a man to the moon, and to address the uncertainty about the time and cost of the mission.
Audience: A crowd of thousands at Rice University Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Rhetorical Appeal: Pathos (Emotional Appeal)
1. "we stand in need of all three, for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance"
2. "it is one of the great adventures of all time"
3. "the eyes of the world now look into space, to the moon and to the planets beyond, and we have vowed that we shall not see it governed by a hostile flag of conquest, but by a banner of freedom and peace."
Rhetorical Devices:
Alliteration: "We mean to be a part of it—we mean to lead it."
Repetition: "We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade"
Metaphor: "The exploration of space will go ahead, whether we join in it or not, and it is one of the great adventures of all time"
The rhetorical appeal of Pathos connects to and achieves the purpose by evoking emotions in the audience and making them feel invested in the mission. By appealing to the audience's emotions, President Kennedy makes them feel a sense of excitement and pride about the possibility of exploring space and being a part of one of the greatest adventures of all time. He also emphasizes the importance of the United States being at the forefront of this exploration and not falling behind other nations. The repetition of the phrase "We choose to go to the moon" emphasizes the determination and unwavering commitment of the country to achieve this goal. The use of alliteration and metaphor helps to reinforce the purpose and adds impact to the speech.

Answer:
I will type out everything here, lol, but I recommend going with "Should volunteering be required to graduate high school?"
I would put my stance as No. Teens should not need to volunteer to graduate. ( I know its first person, so you will have to rewrite it)
- Because only some have the opportunity or time to volunteer due to other responsibilities out of their control, such as home life. family etc
- It would not give those who needed to befits from volunteering the best experience etc., if the volunteers did not want to be there
- they should agree because we have all experienced unwarranted circumstances and school stress, and adding more pressure/ anxiety to school is the last thing we need to do.
