Instead of continuing with a normal address, Reagan speaks directly to schoolchildren in order to explain how bad things happen, but America must continue to explore and strive to discover new things even in the face of danger.

By inverting the first statement into the second one with an antithesis, he creates a very memorable and clever sentence and which is successful in displaying his view of what America should be. Here, former President Kennedyuses antithesis with inverting statements, to show that America will not be threatened by opposition, but at the same time, will be willing to negotiate. ![]() "Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate." –JFK Inaugural Address By having the “more” repeated, Reagan emphasizes also that, despite this tragedy, the quest into space will not stop.

Together let us explore the stars, conquer the deserts, eradicate disease, tap the ocean depths, and encourage the arts and commerce.” -JFK Inaugural Address Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Let both sides, for the first time, formulate serious and precise proposals for the inspection and control of arms, and bring the absolute power to destroy other nations under the absolute control of all nations. “Let both sides explore what problems unite us instead of belaboring those problems which divide us. He uses this allusion to connect one tragedy to another, but also to show that the “Challenger” crew should be honored in the same way as Sir Francis Drake because of their dedication.
