Persuasive Speech

Gina wakes up at 7 am Monday-Thursday for her Marketing class that begins promptly at 8:30 am. The first thing she checks is her IPhone, to see what her friends have been up to on their spring break. She answers any texts she received throughout the night and finally gets up and begins her day. Gina rides to school in a 2013 Fusion, which she pays for herself, which is why she wasn’t able to go on spring break this year because she needed to put money aside for the car. Even though she didn’t get to go on vacation this year she still loves hearing the updates from her friends, it makes her feel connected in a sense.

Jim was in class and was having a dilemma. His friend Phil was absent, so he could not help on their project. Their teacher, Mr. William, told Jim to get on Facebook and tell Phil what he was missing. Jim and Phil were neighbors, and Jim could usually tell Phil what he missed, but memorial day weekend was coming up and Jim was heading out of town before he could talk to Phil. “Its great that the school unblocked social networking sites Jim,” said Mr. Williams “ now we can tell absentes what to do for homework so that they are not to far behind when they get back to school. On top of that, Phil can work on his part of your project, so you probably won't fail my class.” While Jim and Phil benefit from social networking in their school, had

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.

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

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."

Imagine driving down the highway, preparing for the day’s schedule by sending out a couple of emails while driving. Unable to locate the cell phone, one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, it was placed in the passenger’s seat, one thousand four, one thousand five, a deer family has been frozen by the headlights of the car.

Two of our fellow seniors, Curtis Robinson and Sumayyah Singletary, have taken the initiative to plan an unofficial class trip. The following is a message from them:

As the sun peeked through the blinds on her front window, Gianna stretched and panicked she was late for school. Then she remembered it was summer break and she could take her time getting out of bed. She wondered how many more mornings it would take for her to realize she didn’t have to rush into the shower and get to school. Instead, she contemplated what she felt like doing today. It looked like a nice day so probably the beach as usual. Just then her phone began sending notifications.

13-year old Bryan was in his comfy blue bed thinking of what he will do the following day. Tomorrow he will go to a shooting center in Sacramento. He is about to go to sleep when he hears his phone play a series of notes and chords. He realizes that it is a text from Ryan, his best friend. He lifts his cold black Samsung Galaxy S8+ off of its dark blue round wireless charger and looks at the message.

The ability to communicate quickly and efficiently allows for the transmission of important data instantaneously. One such example of this is emergency text messages that can be provided to individuals for natural disasters. Should a natural disaster be about to affect an area such as a tornado, sever storm, flood, etc., people that live in that area can have emergency texts sent to their phones to warn them about the impending danger. This can literally save the lives of those who would have been otherwise caught unaware of the potential danger that they were in. Additionally, text messaging allows for people to maintain personal relationships with those that they do not have the ability to see on a regular basis. As a study showed, the average teenager uses the text message for about 54% of their interactions with their friends. Face-to-face talking was actually the third most used method of communication, weighing in at 33%. The ability of instant, efficient communication that the text message provides can help people maintain a relationship with a friend when the two literally live on opposite sides of the country (Minshall, 2012).

You sighed as you read the text, pulling on a pair of shorts and a sweater before grabbing your keys and heading out the door. Texting this Calum for the address, you slowly let your car roll out of the driveway, knowing you'd be dead if your mom caught you sneaking out at 1 o'clock.

An hour later, when it’s dark out and your vision is swimming with parabolas, your phone chimes unexpectedly. It’s Friday night and no one really texts you when they could be watching that new movie. You walk over to the phone, expecting some Facebook notification or your cousin with a funny Tumblr post. What you don’t expect is a reply to the two-word text you had sent

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
