Comparative Essay

Imagine yourself as the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world. You are traveling to another place and suddenly, your secretariat informs an attack have occurred. You return home and see all kind of damages they have created. It is aall on ruins, people bleeding, chaos, etc. This story became true to president George W. Bush on September 9, 2001, and to Carlos Salinas de Gortari on January 1st, 1994. While speaking their speech, they both wanted to be humble, clam, and seem like all was under their control. During this essay I will compare how George W. Bush is more humble, human, and keeps more in touch with the people; than Carlos Salinas de Gortari. 

In January the first, EZLN (Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional) attacked Tuxtla Gutiérrez in the south part of México.  EZLN fought for the native rights. The Mexican president made a great deal with Canada and the United States of America named Free Trade Agreement which in a way or another, affected native people rights. During his speech, he says three important points. Chiapa's capital affected by violence, all the effort that has been destroyed in some hours, and the ways of solving the problem. Salinas doesn't use 

On the other hand, George W. Bush says a speech which is more human and stays more in touch with the people in such a difficult time. The main purpose of the speech is to inform the citizens about the 9/11 attack, remain calm and do not loose the hope. On his first key point he informs and makes emphasis on how the people's life changed. He explains that the United States of America was a peaceful country and had no problem with another one. "Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of terrorist acts." Tries to convince the people that the terrorists attacked for no reason. "Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. He also gives example of the jobs from the people to show how much destruction have made. Demonstrate that the attack affected everyone, from a mother to a businessman. On his first key point, he also says that s lot of people have been moved to defend that great nation. On his second key point, Bush tries to make people feel proud for their country by telling them that "America is strong". He says no matter what, United States Of America would stay strong. "Our financial institutions remain strong and Te American economy will be open for for business as well. George Bush, as I said before, make people feel proud of their country by telling them the reason why the terrorists attacked. "We're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world". I like a lot the phrase "Terrorists can shake he foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundations of America".
