You can tell she has fans in her audience by the way they responded as she said humorous things from her books, and they responded with laughter.

    One quote she gave me this past week, strongly stood out to me which was; “I could share all that I have done and the accomplishments that currently make up my resume, but I believe what truly matters at the end of the day is the question, "did I love others today? " Love 's root is not a feeling, it is an action. It can be shown through a variety of simple ways, such as the sacrifice of my time or a completion of a task for another. And when you can show this way of living life to another and they take it on for themselves, this is what I call success.”. It is so obvious especially in this quote that she determines success different from the rest of us.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Barbara Bush's Speech

    In Barbara Bush’s speech at the Wellesley college commencement in 1990. 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. Now with her examples she uses a story by Robert Fulghum about a young pastor finding himself in charge of

    If I were asked to get the attention of my peers for a speech, I would first consider my audience because I have different groups of people I consider peers. I would also take into consideration the topic of the speech and utilize an appropriate attention grabber. For example, if I am giving a motivational speech, I might use the word courage. I could either incorporate that word into a powerful quote or tell a story about how courage “changed my life” or why it is a “necessary virtue” on the path to success. I think the most important part, in addition to the attention grabber, is to keep the audience’s attention throughout the speech.
