In this blog post I will be rewriting my conclusion of my rhetorical analysis. I will make sure to:

• answer the question "So what?"
• circle back
• look forward
• and paint a picture

In my rhetorical analysis. I feel that my new conclusion makes sure to include the "So what?" question better and gives a better idea of what it was the article was talking about. It talks less about the actual stem cell research and more about the argument strategies that President Obama is using. I also brought the idea back to why the students reading this would want to know about the rhetorical situations of the speech. 

Revised Conclusion:

By President Obama connecting with the audience on a person and patriotic level, using powerful descriptions, and being very well organized in his ordering of the speech, he was able to get his message across in a way that showed the audience that he was a credible source and should be listened to.  Whether people actually changed their views I am not sure on, but he supported the funding of stem cell research in a way that makes the reader agree with him on some level;  stem cell research might be a good thing in the long run. Knowing this kind of rhetoric is something that future doctors will need to know how to do. Doctors need to know how to talk to the patients they are working with and get them to understand what the best forms of treatments are for their patients. This could also be helpful if you plan on becoming a future researcher. You will have to understand how to get your research across to the general public and get them to understand that what you are doing is a good thing. Much of that is getting your audience to trust you. That is what President Obama is doing in his speech. He used his knowledge of the audience and the context of the situation to bring his side of the issue across in the best light. This is the goal for any rhetorical argument; have your side of the story seem the best and
