This speakers introduction was clear, she came out saying what she will be presenting and even threw in a funny saying. The supporting materials was definitely all their. You were well aware that this speech was an informative one. She explained how bed bugs are in certain places and it doesn't matter how clean you are, their will always be bed bugs. Her structure wasn't in any form of logical order. The speaker basically read off facts. When it comes to delivery I would say she knows and presented to us a lot of things about bed bugs, but in my opinion it felt like she was just reading off Wikipedia. Eye contact, the speaker was looking straight ahead the entire time, she did not have note cards or looked down at all. With that saying, their
When one establishes a connection with their audience, it becomes easier to talk about personal and controversial things just as when she talked about what her husband has gone through regarding his citizenship and religious affiliation. She then implies that Donald Trump is immature and inexperienced to become the president; she reinforces this idea when she subtly implies Donald Trump’s “tendency to lash out” as well as him having an empty record of “public service”. After a series of statements supporting Hillary Clinton as well as the importance of equality and unity, she closes her speech by urging the audience to take part in the
Including this small snippet switches the initial tone from informal to formal, only for that split second. It might not seem like it but this slight change in tone is vital for the flow of the speech. Following this snippet she quotes her mother, “We will not be those black people”. By using this personal experience she appeals to the emotional side of the audience. The use of this anecdote and small quote are only the beginning to her use of pathos for the duration of the speech and can also cause many of the listeners to think back to a time where something similar happened within their
Because she has such an educated background, she is a high scholar and able to give credibility and trust to the audience. Many women are always ambitious to become a career leader and a housewife so her background will most likely to have an attraction to many women. Women will more willing to accept her argument because she have such a high credibility. However, if Mrs. Schlafy mentions her personal story during the speech, such as the challenges of raising six children and working at the same time and how the ERA will negatively impact her would create a strong and impactful statement because women can be further relatable. Also, the way Mrs. Schlafy dresses up draws women’s attention.
Jean Chrétien: Passionate Plea For Unity Chrétien’s speech is mainly targeted towards Quebecers wishing to separate from our country. This speech took place prior to the referendum regarding the issue of whether or not Quebec should proclaim its individual sovereignty. Chrétien also recognizes Quebec as a “distinct society” whilst specifying Quebec’s unique language and culture which makes it an admirable community. To bring this all together, Chrétien stresses the beauty in Canadian diversity, generosity, tolerance and respect which is idolized by other foreigners. I appreciated how Chrétien identified and acknowledged Quebecers cries for change and even says that he knows the separatist party will guarantee exactly that.

After reviewing Leslie Steiner ted talk: ‘Crazy Love’, I found it to be an eye opener as well as a life long lesson. As I was evaluating her speech, I thought she did a good job overall, although some areas could have used some minor adjustments and/or improvements. Starting with her Topic selection; I thought it was a great topic considered it appealed to the audience who looked like they were between the ages of 20-45, just around the age she had mentioned for domestic violence victims. I thought her introduction were missing a few elements that could have made it that much better. I felt her introduction could have been more confident and including an audience adaptation could have made her introduction that much stronger.
The Republicans have won and Abraham Lincoln is now the new president. The great debate continues regarding the hot topic of secession. The state of Georgia appears to be the site where this issue of secession is currently being debated by Alexander Stephens and Robert Toombs. The issue is whether the confederate states of South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Georgia,Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas have the right to secede from the union or not. The country is divided between the North (the Union) and the South(Confederate States).
The use of Logos, Pathos, and Ethos made this speech more moving to the audience, the majority of it being pathos. Hillary discussed the issues women suffer through and the excruciatingly painful experiences women have endured. Hillary used tactics that allowed her to related to women, since she is one herself. She aims to encourage people to halt the violations on women's rights.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the United States was booming with new industrial innovations because of new technologies, and it was becoming one of the leading economies in the world. This economic boom came to a sharp halt as events such as the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl hit, causing millions of Americans to face economic struggles. “The Strenuous Life,” a speech given by Theodore Roosevelt, displays the ideas of American work ethics that led to economic growth in the early 1900s. These ideals of work ethic not only prompted the cause of the Dust Bowl, but were continued on into the lives of the affected farmers as Americans displaced and in poverty from this event continued to participate in migrant work with awful living
Clinton attempts to use propaganda, empathy, and logic to present her point, that women to her audience, and succeeds at it. Overall, the speech is balanced in its argument style and use of rhetoric, such as the factors mentioned above. At this point, Clinton was not a New York senator yet, but only First Lady, yet she used her position to go to conferences, such as this conference, and speak out for women’s rights, as they are the same as human
The tone of his speech is kind of a joking method but to the point. What I mean by this is that he will introduce a portion of his speech and instead of giving only information, he gives/shows examples
It is often meaningless to evaluate a speech without first considering its context and purposes. As Dr. Blizer pointed out, “a work of rhetoric is pragmatic; it comes into existence for the sake of something beyond itself; it functions ultimately to produce action or change in the world”.1 Jobs’ speech was no exception – its basic function as a commencement speech was ceremonial by nature. Compared to other ceremonial speeches such as a testimonial or an inaugural address, a commencement speech is less restricted in terms of topic. It is, however, bound by the occasion and
Speech Sounds and Octavia Butler The science fiction short story “Speech Sounds” is written by American writer Octavia Butler, it was first published in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine in December 1983. This story presents Rye, a survivor of a dystopian world ravaged by nuclear war, where the effects after the blast caused people to lose the ability of basic communication. Here we see Rye fight against external and internal conflicts such as fighting against the world she lives in and fighting against her own wavering state of mind or identity. Her solution to finding peace with both situations was to find if she had any living relatives left, being that the ones living with her have perished, and in that moment she recalls her Brother and
Did they have a PREVIEW? Do they use any CITATIONS? What were the MAIN POINTS in the speech? HOW was the speaker’s CONCLUSION EFFECTIVE or not?
Meyer lets the audience know what to expect. She breaks down the presentation into
