I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico.

One of the things I noticed in my speech was how many times I looked at the screen. I didn’t realize how many times I looked at my prop until I watched myself on video. It was distracting and took away from what I was saying to my audience. Additionally, I feel like I could have improved speaking about the different experiments performed. I feel like they were rushed and I should have stuck to talking about only one or two experiments instead. With my time being rushed, I feel like I couldn’t explain as much of the experiments as I wanted to or as in depth. Lastly, I should have worked on the conclusion for my speech. I wasn’t able to come up with a good conclusion, so it felt as if I left some of the speech left hanging. I mentioned ethical issues performed in the experiments without actually going over it in the speech. Next time, I know I will come up with a solid ending and just wrapping up ideas I already went over in class. I know that for my persuasive speech, I will work on my eye contact, slowing down, and coming up with a solid ending.

Nicholas Kristof’s, New York Times article, “I Am Very Afraid I Will Die Tonight”, covers the nightmares that are going on in Syria and why the USA should be taking action to put it to an end.

They are doing this as a method of attempting to fight back against the extremists. According to Kristof’s article, the United States has put minimal effort towards stopping these horrors, and there is much more we can do to stop it. To carry out his argument, Kristof uses different rhetorical appeals.

I've always been aware of that many blacks are the culprits committing such violent crimes. I never felt guilty of my skin color, but I've felt guilty of 'profiling.' In other words, if I see a black person who looked 'suspicious,' I'm going to do what is necessary to stay clear of that person. I've watched Colin's videos from last year. His video actually relieved me of any guilt emotions regarding

Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr. and Fannie Lou Hamer all delivered powerful, persuasive speeches that will go down in history. The use of these creative individuals’ language and persuasion played a pivotal role within the civil rights movement.

The controversial issue regarding the abolishment of penalty rates within the Australian workforce has been addressed heavily in the Australian media.

My target audience are members of the Parliament who are aiming to reinforce the abolishment of the penalty rate in an effort to raise economic benefit and general citizens. This speech is to be addressed in a formal register in a theatre in front of parliament members.

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

This is the first time I presented a speech in front of a class. Honestly, it’s really fun and scary at the same time because I am not used to people having their eyes on me. Anyway, I gave a speech on how to build a skateboard because a lot of people skate in the U.S., especially in California. I feel like skateboarding is a part of American culture so it’s a good topic to work on.

In the Ted Talk “We should aim for perfection- and stop fearing failure”, Jon Bowers outlines his argument for perfection. He begins by giving an example of a “small error” that ended up costing Amazon over $160 million dollars. He then lists more examples draws them forward to present his idea of perfection. The examples show how one tiny error can have an enormous impact and he turns to the audience asking “why we cannot achieve perfection?”. He draws the listeners in by giving personal experience in striving for perfection. “Look, a hundred people die everyday due to vehicular crashes. Think about that for a second. That's like the equivalent of four commercial airliners crashing every week, yet we still can't convince ourselves to pay perfect attention behind the wheel. So I teach my drivers to value perfection”. Jon is an educator for professional delivery drivers and has to ensure that they are prepared to handle any and every situation possible.

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

I think it's an honor that we live in America. That we live in a country where we are allowed to say how we feel about our new Prejsdndt. A country where we can say the fear, anger, sadness, happiness, proudness, whatever feeling we may have; about the next four years of our country. Not one who is ever up for a political debate, or post all my political views on FB for that matter, but today changed history. I get that many people are scared. Scared of what this means for their families. Scared of what this means for the next four years of our country. I know a lot of people didn’t find assurance in President Trump’s speech this morning, but the only thing we can have, as a country, is trust. Saying you want to see Trump fail as a President,

After re-watching your speech, do you think you clearly explained a complex idea so that a non-expert audience could understand it? Was this a topic that will help your audience in some way? Why or why not? How could you have done this even more effectively?

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
