Homework Help: American Lit.

Posted by Jill on Monday, September 14, 2009 at 6:45pm.

So my teacher gave us this sheet. We have to think of someone famous/in politics/or on tv who uses fear to persuade other people to do things.

I've searched google, but they haven't helped. Who should I do? I don't watch tv much, so I don't really know.

Can someone please help me? Any help will be appreciated.

Some fundamental preachers use fear of Hell to get people to do the right things.

But the name that immediately comes to mind is Russ Limbaugh, the radio talk show host. Research him.

There is no large argument that Rush is King of the Fear mongers, however, the National Rifle Association is a close second, in my opinion

We can even include former President George W. Bush for his use of the term "axis of evil."
