Kennedy's reasoning was to have an impact worldwide and make the United States citizens feel like they can accomplish anything in this great country. An example is when he said, "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country". Kennedy's purpose was to help his Peace Corps to become a success and make the world a peaceful place. He uses many literary devices throughout his speech to get his message across and to impress the audience. When he says, "We observe today not a victory of party but a celebration of freedom, symbolizing an end as well as a beginning, signifying renewal as well as change", this is a form of Antithesis. He also uses many historical references an example is when he uses the Declaration of Independence by saying "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
