Read the excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address
Our greatest primary task is to put people to work This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. It can be accomplished in part by direct recruiting by the Government itself, treating the task as we would treat the
emergency of a war, but at the same time, through this employment,
accomplishing greatly needed projects to stimulate and reorganize the use of our natural resources
The passage has pathos as a rhetorical appeal. What insight was Franklin D. Roosevelt hoping to convey to his audience by using this appeal?
O People need to get back to work, but there's no work to be had. The solution is to get the Government to hire people directly, just as we would during a war, and accomplish things that need to get finished
O People need to stop being lazy and get back to work
O The biggest issue is people being out of work, even though this is an unsolvable problem. The Government will attempt to help out but there isn't much for people to do to stimulate the economy.
O The biggest issue is getting people back to work and earning money to help stimulate the economy. The Government is doing everything it can but this is an unsolvable issue.
