Analyzing Emilie Wapnick's Speech

119 Words1 Page

Emilie Wapnick started her speech with asking how many times have we been asked “what do we want to be when we grow up?” We were all so young when we listened to this question and it caused us worry. She was never able to answer this question, not because she didn’t have any interests but as she had too many. She used to get deep in her interests then get bored of them and shifts to another as she didn’t find them challenging anymore. She was always worried that would be something wrong with her. She believes in being “multipotentialite”, with an open heart. She advises everyone to bring out their real passions even if they’re so many.

I believe that her main ideas are to remind the students that success is not defined by social expectations by unique personal goals when listening to her speech! I also feel that she is warning us on labeling others that we don’t know much about, that when she starts to talk about Alice Walker the famous writer of (The Color Purple) Bush also used demographic, the audiences gender age, and cultured, psychographic analysis which focuses on their beliefs values and life experiences and situational analysis, which also focuses on the setting and mood of the audience.

  • Noah S. Sweat Speech Analysis

    479 Words  | 2 Pages

    Linguistics Being supposedly made up on the spot, Noah S. Sweat did not have time to compose an eloquent speech about a controversial topic. He instead spoke a purely unfactual and highly descriptive banter using doublespeak to voice his opinion of whiskey. Both sides of his argument include impactual adjectives to describe the drink. Or as Mr. Sweat would say on line 6, “the devil’s brew,” or on line 12, “the philosophic wine”. Each side of his argument is entirely one sentence long, implying that he emotionally fuels his speech as he works out his thoughts with the audience as one thought flows to the other.
