All right students, after having a number of classes with you, enjoying a majority of them, I would hate to tell you I would like a paper to be handed in about a history related subject. I do not want some scribble dribbles put on my desk, I want actual papers. If you give me crap, you will receive what you have given to me. This paper will count

In the heat of the crisis, on October 22, 1962, Kennedy speaks to the nation, revealing and addressing the issues at stake with the missiles in Cuba. Only him, which Robert F. Kennedy- the younger brother and attorney general of John F. Kennedy- reflects in his memoir on the Cuban Missile Crisis, “it was now up to one single man. No committee was going to makes this decision” (25). However, President Kennedy had to portray that to the nation in an effective manner. Newspapers itched to get a hold of what the President kept so secret: “by Sunday [October 21, 1962] both the New York Times and the Washington Post had most of the story” (Hilsman 108). The president had to call them on Sunday and urge them to not publish the story until after his address to the nation on Monday night. By this point everyone around the world except for the Americans knew the speech would pertain to the missiles in Cuba, even Castro and the Cubans as Jorge Risquet, a former Central Committee Chairman of Cuba in 1962, states (Glinkin).

Another particular interesting element to take in about the picture is the angle at which it was taken. In this state, Kennedy does not speak to the American people; he addresses the enemy. This decision, I believe further emphasizes the idea that we as Americans cannot and should not identify with the “evil” Communists. Kennedy stands before us, representing us to the enemy and protecting not only us but also the freedom that we so deeply treasure behind him. Even then, we have no need to hide behind him: we have nothing to hide, unlike the Soviets who engaged in this warmongering behavior. This attitude draws up the mental picture of Kennedy as the parent who catches this bad behavior; we are merely present at their scolding because we should learn that “neither the United States of America nor the world community of nations can tolerate a deliberate deception and offensive threats on the part of any nation, large or small” (Kennedy 154). Just him, only one man makes this decision. For this, though, we place our undying trust in him

XD you didn't have to actually write one, unless you had this on file.
