Persuasive Speech Adopting Animals

organizing the body of the speech; more specifically, the use of main points, supporting points,

Out of all the speeches I presented this semester, I considered this speech to be the best one I ever presented in this class. I chose a topic that integrated perfectly in a college setting as well as delivered it with information that was supported with both visual and oral aides. I also kept a steady pace and did not go over my time constraints, allowing the audience to understand the points I was trying to make throughout my entire speech. As for the competencies, I had strengths in all the

Do animals have the right to a certain quality of life? How would your views change if our cooks got treated the same way cattle and poultry do? How would you feel about them being beaten and brought to their knees just to be detained to know how to cook todays specials? You might think that the food industry has no issues and no faults behind their tasty food, but when you open up the meat curtain, there is a different kind of world out there that is cruel and inhumane. In Robert Kenner’s 2008 film, Food, Inc., He shows the conditions that cows, chickens, and pigs have to live in. The dark and closeted homes in which the animals are closely compacted together and eating, sleeping, and walking in their own manure. As a person who would consider themselves an animal rights activist, most people would agree that the food industry treats their animals like products instead of living things.

Finally, one of the main aspects that could have used improvement would be the introduction. The attention getter was not as effective as I had hoped it would be. It didn’t seem to grab anybody’s attention so the speech was already off to a not so great start. While the main topics were introduced it could have been done more effectively instead of just listing of the three main topics. Also the thesis statement could have been more thought out with more information about my

The number one thing most people fear is writing a speech and auditioning it publicly. Many people would rather die than to present publicly. Writing speeches to persuade people is not only a skill but art there needs to be a little bit of everything, The 3 common things in every persuasive speech is Pathos, Logos, and Ethos. Pathos is what appeals to the emotion or what tugs on the heart. Logos is something that has to do with statistics or logistics like financial cost and funding. Lastly, Ethos is using a credible source such as the former President John F. Kennedy. Analyzing JFK speech to fund NASA, I can take a look on how this 3 aspects appeal to a great persuasive speech.

I will be critiquing my persuasive speech on puppy mills. The issue of puppy mills is one that is very important to me, and I was very dedicated to my speech. My speech informed the audience of the detrimental effects that puppy mills have on dogs, possible solutions to the problem, and how the audience could help. My persuasive goal was to try and convince the audience to help put a stop to the issue of puppy mills by adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue organization, or contacting their local legislature about the issue. My speech had assets and drawbacks which were apparent in my content and delivery. My strengths included my PowerPoint, the emotional appeal, and the commitment to my topic. My weaknesses were the length of my speech, maintaining eye contact, and my verbal delivery. However, these can be amended using several easy methods, such as timing myself while I practice, writing notes on my cards to remind me to keep eye contact, and practicing more in general. The most vital aspect of my speech was that it exhibited strong features.

I think I did a good job presenting my ethos through my speech story. I convince my audience with my credibility through my speech and the way how talk throughout the speech. For example, throughout my whole speech, I shown my hands and did not hide my hands. By keeping my hands in plain view, it shows my audience nonverbally that I can be trusted. The volume of my voice was at a normal speaking tone and was not too low. Most of my audience was able to hear me and listen to me very clearly. I also presented myself with confidence and gave off the impression that I was prepared. For example, I had a smile and had constant eye contact with my audience throughout my speech. There was certain things that I was doing that was ineffective while I was talking. Throughout my speech, I kept saying um and was pausing at times. I did not realize how much I was saying and doing these actions. These actions are something I need to work on more when I present my public communication to my audience

One topic that i can deliver as a credible speech, could be about over fishing. To build my credibility i will make sure my apperance is nice and make sure i have my audience attention an trust. I'll also give the audience a brief description about what i will be going over with them. I'm very credible in my topic because i know a lot of information about over fishing. I have many resources i had looked into such as books, the internet, social media and having discussions with peoples about over fishing. Your appearance can affect your topic selcetion in so many ways because you can dress nice but it may throw your audience off by your topic cause the way you appeared to present your topic.

Adding a dog to your family can be one of the most fun and rewarding things. Dogs are friendly, loyal, protective and pure entertainment. They are always good at putting a smile on your face and they can make even the worst days, better. In this paper, I will be discussing the best way, in my opinion to add a furry friend to your family, adopting. I will be discussing the pros and cons and the many benefits that go into adopting a dog. In general, adopting a dog is the best option to find your new friend, but there can be a lot that goes into it. Doing your research and being prepared are some of the most important parts of rescuing a dog.

3. Was the speech well-organized? Did it have a robust introduction, a solid body with specific main points, and a conclusion? How was the time allotment for each section (too long, too short?) Were the times dedicated to each section appropriate? (Introduction and Conclusion: between 45 seconds to1 minute; Body: main points each 1:15 – 1:30)

I went into detail how by listening to my speech, they could possibly help a family member or friend in the future. Finally, my preview of the main points did a great job of giving a roadmap into the rest of my speech. I went into each of my three main ideas and talked about what I would be examining within each of them. I made sure not to use any evidence too early or give too much away in the preview. I simply discussed what would be later covered in the coming minutes. An example, one of my points was government involvement. I previewed that I would be discussing the difference between how government at the local and national level affected access and how they differed.

The speaker made direct eye contact at all times unless his head was moving to place emphasis on what he was saying. Further, the speaker spoke loud enough to be heard and did not require me to turn my volume up super high while struggling to hear him. Additionally, the speaker utilized a good pace. He moved slow enough for me to comprehend everything he was telling me but fast enough so that I did not get bored and distracted. Finally, the speaker alternated his pitch throughout the speech which kept my attention. Overall, besides the previously addressed issues, the delivery of the speech was great! I would, however, suggest having more time of the speech spent face to face with the speaker for a more powerful speech.

I also used lots of hand gestures, which went well with my speech. How well did you integrate the required source information and its verbal citations? I used several sources and I made sure to verbally cite these sources during my presentation. How well did you incorporate logos, ethos, and pathos into your persuasive speech?

Comparing to my pervious speeches, I thought I was more confident and effective. Since we were in the small room, I made sure that the tone and volume of my voices were balanced. Moreover, throughout the speeches I used various hand gestures to help me get connect with the audience. Preparation is one the most effective way to improve in any kinds of speech. Therefore, I could have done better by practice and preparing more.

Central idea: To persuade my audience to adopt by explaining the need for adopters, the benefit of adopting, and the minimal cost of
