[...] Studying history can help nuance these claims and challenge assumptions of contemporary exceptionalism" was said by Fiona Griffiths 4. In Obama speech, he used deliberative rhetoric to convince the audience to act at the same time to stop taking a certain action. He used one rock for two birds. So, in it, we will find how he expresses his feelings in specific way, and I can say it was very clever. B. Challenges in Communicating History 1.
