Essay: Barack Obama´s speech ”Back to School” A good education is important for the society. If you have a good education, you can get out of poverty and break the social heritage and thereby help yourself and the society. This is some of the things Barack Obama enters in his speech. The speech was given at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia on September the 8th in 2009. The sender is Barrack Obama – the president of the United States of America. He gives the speech to students in connection with the beginning of the new school year. The intention with the speech is to get the students to take responsibility for their education, themself and take school seriously. The Presidents message to the students is that a good education is as important for their own future as for the future of the nation. The speech is composed in a classic way! First comes the opening. “Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today?”(P.1 l.1) Here Obama already tries to get at the same level as his audience, despite his status.
