• Parallelism: • Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. • Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms--and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. • Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce. • Let both sides unite to heed in all corners of the earth the command of Isaiah--to "undo the heavy burdens ... and to let the oppressed go free." • These four “let both sides……”make the lines more powerful. • Audience can get the idea easily from these carefully-structured lines.

• Join F.Kennedy was the most popular president in U.S. history. • Americans evaluate him as one of the five greatest presidents in history.
Kennedy’s victory is all the people’s victory. • Kennedy, as a spirited image, he called on people to pursue freedom, human rights, etc. He took vigorous action in the cause of equal rights calling for new civil rights legislation. He wished America to resume its old mission as the first dedicated to the revolution of human rights. With the Alliance for Progress and the Peace Corps, he brought American idealism to the aid of developing nations and leaded the nation on its longest sustained expansion since WWII.

The religious overtones • Religion is a indispensable part of western culture.In every inaugural address,president usually resorts to the holiness of God to make their speech more absorbing and infectious.That's why political speakings are often religionary.Kennedy cited many words from the Bible to express his political thoughts,intended to make it more convictive and evoke the zeal of liberating the whole world.
