Persuasive Speech

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

A. Soon after giving blood you will receive a copy of your blood type, in case you do not know it, in the mail.

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. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

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."

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

During my persuasive speech, I used an attention getter with a story to put a face on the problem of the 5-day work week because it is something for the audience to get attached to. In my attention getter, Jeff Campbell suffers from a stroke from working long hours as an accountant. I believe it was effective in showing pathos to the problem of the 5-day work week. In my thesis, I clearly stated the topic and related it to my audience by telling them that it will affect all full-time employees in America. To conclude my introduction, I gave a preview of the what I was going to talk about during my speech, which included the problems, causes, and solutions.

This happened about an year after I immigrated to the United States. I attended Buena Park High school, and every friend I made there was Korean as known as F.O.B, fresh off the boat. I was just a teenager who would like to hang out with friends and mess around like all other normal teenage boys. My friend, Young, always liked to

We had just got back from ice cream express,Since we walked there from school, because it was sorta a special day it was Caledonia’s homecoming game! And after we got back we went down to the basement and started to play around, like with slime Bailey showed us some dance routines she did for church, and we made an American ninja warrior court. Then we went back up and got something from our bags, we ate a little bit of peanuts, just then I had a great idea I said... “let's go ding-dong-ditch Ky!” Bailey yelled “YES.” So Bailey went over and asked her mom, we were thrilled when she said yes.

The short speech written by William Safire is very effective in achieving its purpose. This article in not insipid, it captures the audience and allows them to feel the emotions of the people.“Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin...know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.” Safire mentions the sacrifice those two men made and honors them for what they did for mankind. Not only are they credited for their accomplishments, but also honored and mourned. “...these men were the first[on the moon], and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.” These two astronauts started the space missions and they will forever be remembered for the world they opened. This speech is very effective in honoring, mourning, and congratulating the two astronauts who changed history.

(The lady)children leave the room now, while i deal with these selfish teens”.so all the kids leave the room until it's just the lady and the five of them.

Imagine that you have a half glass of water left in a cup. Do you have a glass half full of water or a glass half empty? Keep this in your head throughout my speech. Abraham Lincoln once said, “Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.” I believe that everyone can be happy if they want to be.

What could a 10 year old possibly be worrying about? When I was 10 years old, my largest and most terrifying concern was that I broke my yellow crayon and that I would be labeled as the girl who had to take the walk of shame to the back of classroom to get an old, used yellow crayon from the community set. What a concept? The extent of social pressure that was forced on me was my crayon credibility and even then my friends didn’t feel the need to shun me for my shameful misconduct. More and more often, children are expected to endure an unnatural process as early as fourth grade and extending beyond their college years. While it is not ideal and obviously detrimental to the development of children and their concepts of social acceptance, this concept is all but surprising just as is the result, but the epidemic is only worsened by the lack of understanding of the situation. For all we know, it might mean the death of a basic human desire. But, what is it that we have all overlooked or underestimated? What “concept” could possibly be our downfall. It is simple, yet influential. Increasing rare, yet less and less sought after. And in the end, it is a master of imitation, masked as other qualities that lead us astray, away from our goal, away from our happiness. It is what everyone wants and yet no one can identify as exactly what it is, genuine human connection.

When our founding fathers founded this nation, they had a vision of democracy and freedom in their sights, but since then we have strayed from this path in many ways. I would like to focus on an institution which I have been part of for twelve years of my life: the American education system. The goals of the education system, I believe, are to prepare students to help contribute to our society in an efficient and positive way, and to allow them freedom in their future endeavors. However, I think that the U.S. education system hasn’t been achieving these goals. Students aren’t given a realistic image of the future, and their freedom of choice is being restricted. This does not mean that the U.S. education system isn’t producing any results at all, for the majority of the world’s best universities are located here in the States and thousands of international students come to study here annually. However, there is still much reform that is needed to make it better.

All High School students have said “I hate school” or “I can’t wait to get outta here” right? Then someone replies with “ wait till you get my age and you’ll wish you were there again”. They definitely weren't lying when they told me this. When I got into the Freshman Center most teachers mentioned “these next four years of school are gonna fly by”. Those teachers told the truth.

Among the many rights granted to Americans in the Constitution, the right to Free Speech has caused many disputes. This right is highly valuable to United States citizens, but it can raise some complications when it comes to a school environment, where it may not be appropriate to convey every single idea or opinion. One such complication arose when two students enrolled in Homewood High school in Chicago, arrived to school in unapproved uniform to express their sentiment toward recent events in the country. After being suspended for refusing to remove the attire, the students filed a lawsuit against the school district arguing that their suspension violated their First Amendment freedoms. According to precedents set by Tinker v. Des Moines, Gillman v. School Board for Holmes County, and Isaacs v. Board of Education, the outcome of the case of Washington and Shultz should be in the plaintiff’s favor.
